why am i flipping out? my good news.....
i have been given the most amazing opportunity to attend the bonnaroo festival this year. click here to read about it. it's a weekend long music festival in tennesse and some of my all-time favorite musicians will be there, like:
- elvis costello
- ben folds
- nickel creek
- son volt
- mike doughty
- cat power
- death cab for cutie
- beck
- sonic youth
that's just a list of my favs, but there are so many amazing bands playing, along with comedian lewis black and the bindlestiff family cirkus.
it will be my first time camping in about a decade, so anyone with any camping gear they can lend out would be appreciated. of course if i have to, i'll go out and buy a big pink tent with matching sleeping bags. i bet they make a powerpuff girl camping set!
and how did i get this wonderful chance to go to bonnaroo? my friend dan (groundcat). you can read his blog to hear his nervous excitement and stress over bonnaroo. i'm with him on being nervous about the drive, the crowds, the crowds, and did i mention the crowds?
but i will get over my dislike of crowds, because this is a once in a lifetime chance. when dan invited me i got so excited. i asked my evil boss for the time off and he said yes right away (i am thinking he may have had a stroke, since normally he is a mean SOB.) then i went online and looked at the lineup and got so excited my eyes teared up. yes, i am a dork who cries when she is super happy/excited and overjoyed. maybe i'll cry the whole 4 day weekend in tennesse!
yes, my friend is going to regret the day he ever invited me....hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
one more thing: i ran spellcheck and the blog does not know the word "dork"or the word "blog". how is that so???

wow, i just read a quote that really moved me. i was thinking about how i cry when i am really happy (like i mentioned in the post). then i ran across this quote:
"beauty of whatever kind in its supreme development invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."
wow.....
Up until a few days ago when I was talking to me mom about such topics... I thought Elvis Costello was a personal friend of yours. Yea... shut up. Who asked you anyway??? ;-}
it's ok selena, i plan on meeting elvis at bonnaroo, and once i meet him i will charm the socks off of him and make him my new best friend. then i can bring him over for dinner!
wow, that's a beautiful quote. to bad you didn't mention the author. I guess we'll never know where you found it.
i made that quote up myself. i just didn't want to show hubris by attributing myself to such a beautiful and moving piece of writing.
It's weird seeing you refer to dan here as "your friend dan"
