It's really a shame I forgot my power supply for my laptop. I missed the earlier shows I wanted to see because I was lucky enough to catch a ride into the currently swamped and tie-dyed Manchester Walmart. Alas, two hours later I was back at Bonnaroo still sans a power supply - but STOCKED with bug spray and Ivy Block. I scored an impromptu interview with members of Beats Antique, whom I knew little about but they'll be playing around 11:00pm and I hope to check 'em out. Then I got lost.
Getting back to your camp at 'Roo the first few times can be confusing. I always seem to end up walking miles out of my way. So after all that, I finally got to check out some music. I heard the beginning of School Of Seven Bells and they were wonderful. Early in their set they played a lovely rendition of my favorite tune of theirs, Windstorm. They captured the song's lovely lilting high end perfectly. Then it was back to work at the media tent.
I interviewed another up-and-coming band called Kopecky Family Band. They're out of Nashville and have made a big fan out of NPR's Bob Boilen. Not a bad fan to have. I'll come home packing a copy of they're latest CD titled "Of Epic Proportions'. We'll get some video of this interview up here soon; right now I need to save battery life and shut down. BTW, I think I have a line on solving my laptop problems. A friend here at the media center should be able to help me out tomorrow. This place is like a village, and villagers help each other out.
