boredoms 77 drums full report





This nearly didn't happen. The line was miles long (some people waited hours and still didn't get in) but I went by myself and was able to just roll in. Luckily I observed one of my top rules: travel light, travel far.

FULL REPORT



No matter how awesome you think it may have been it was even more so. Beautiful day, beautiful people, good music and the band is doing big things. Here's more pics with some scrollover commentary and video (which Vice may make me take down soon):



























it started like this..












[info]uberdionysus should have more photos and stuff up later. we had
an incredible time. i am still vibrating with excitement about it.

Gawd, I so wanted to drive up! But it's a 10+ hr drive and I would never have made it.

still not having any luck with the videos. youtube seems to be saying that you have to send private videos directly to the youtube user you want to view them. this sounds like more time than you're willing to put in but if it's not i'd love for you to send me all four videos.

wow. you are right that no matter how awesome it looks it was more awesome than that and i'll never know since i wasn't there. i'd be surprised if vice doesn't do a dvd of it. i'd love to see how it ends and the rest of it from multiple angles.

vice was recording all over the place so some stuff will probably get thrown up on VBS.TV in a few.

it amazes me that you're one of the few people on my friends list that even tried to go. i'd have been waiting w/ you.
sounds perfect.
