SHAKEDOWN

Okay, so today was the last day of school and it just so happens that I went to my first grad party today as well.
He lives in another town, but anyway... His dad and my dad go to this one cover band's concerts all the time. The band's called Shakedown. I have a shirt from them.

Anyway, one of the main guys was there. Frank.

That's him on the right.

My brother got him to sign a playing card just as he walked out of the door. My camera was in the car, so I didn't get a picture with him.


This band mainly does covers, but it's a local band, so I don't expect much. He learned that I play ukulele and he asked me something like "Are you really into music?"

Yes, Frank. I'm pretty into it.

[and YES, I'M WATCHING BONNAROO RIGHT NOW! I missed The Young Veins & She & Him because of my darn previous engagements. :(]

BONNAROO 2010

NOTE: this is a Bonnaroo blog post. If you don't want to hear Bonnaroo ten million times and what it is and it's awesomeness,

go somewhere else.


Yep, that's right. Bonnaroo. For the past week, but more for the past few days, I've been spazzing about Bonnaroo. I've been looking up and reading EVERYTHING on the Bonnaroo website, and even though I'm not going this year, I'm going to try to plan next year.

This year, Bonnaroo has 15 bands that I want to listen to. AND, it's not only a music festival. It's a music&arts festival. It's my kind of place.

You might be thinking, 15 bands? Please.
Guess again. Straight off the Bonnaroo lineup:
DMB, Kings of Leon, Weezer, Phoenix...
Oh, screw this. Check it out for yourself..

Bonnaroo Artists

Iron & Wine were there last year along with Julia Nunes. She's back again this year, along with...

SHE & HIM.
Yeah.

So basically, if you can't go, like me, and you want to see it, you can stream it live on your computer thanks to YouTube. Technically, it's sponsored by the 2011 Ford Fiesta.

This sucks for me because I'M IN SCHOOL. My last day is tomorrow, and Julia's performance [which is the first one] is going on around 12:30 and I'm taking a Spanish final at that time! I could if it was around 8 am or even 2 pm, but nope. It's during one of the only two periods that I CAN'T stream it.

And, I can't even access it on my school's computer because it's on YouTube. And my stupid school has that blocked. Arg!! I'll find a way!
