Man, I’m already in the bed. There aren’t any bands I was really interested in seeing, and I’m so insanely tired. I shoulda trained.
Nodbob and I crossed the width and breadth of this huge place, and its a nice deal of ground. the ground is so dry that puffs of dirt fly up with every step.
yawn.

So we all set out for Centerroo, where all the stuff is, but alas, I was cast aside at the gate because I forgot to relieve myself of my trusty Gerbers.
I walked back to put them up, and saw a tent twister. It was the damnedest thing, a mini little dust devil that whipped through a line of tents and crossed the road about 20 paces in front of me. It was amazing.
We’re cooking some hotdogs just now, haven’t eaten since breakfast. Been drinking water, but little beer. This place is enough of an experience without being tipsy, and I can think of fewer hells worse than a hangover in this sweltering ass heat.

I got a text message, Jens having her baby tomorrow! Pigpen and MastaG are with the fam at the farm, so they’ll have a more interesting weekend than I will!

Made it.
I had high hopes to set up in the ‘tent only’ section, so I left Nodbob and the friends of his we met on the interstate to find us a plot of land, but like the Okies of yore, the good land was taken. We’re towards the ass end of Camp Lando Calrissian, setting up there.
The sheer throngs of peope are exilirating. They mosey by as I peck out these words, colorful bikinis and topless men. Pictures will come when they do, but I need to head back and hoist the mighty AT flag.
Adios.

A Lunchtime Poem

Have you noticed
the top of each round grape,
where the stem
connects to the green globe,
there is a pentagon
left by the pull
of three fingers
before the grape
is burst
in your mounth?
