My All Points West Coverage SUCKS

So in an attempt to "live blog" something for the first time ever, I sent text messages to my email during the first day of all points west. Nothing good came of it, this is far from "live", but I am posting them here unabridged anyway, with editors notes.

Weird crowd hip and dirty. Art project everywhere cross promotion. Girl talk [I meant Go! Team] on first on main stage. No one is ready. I feel sorry for them.

2:41 pm
Go team guitars too loud. Fun to watch though. They switch instruments. ninja has bigger booty than previously understood.



2:46 pm
Ninja raps like three eleven down.

3:29 pm
Dolab [The "Rave" Area] makes me glad i was only a raves [That's botched T-9 speak for "Raver"] once.

3:57 pm
Forro in the Dark is fucking amazing when you are sitting in the beer tent talking about hilarious tattoos.

4:13 pm
The pegge [reggae] in my blood stood up and made it hard to hate michael franti.
Note: This was only in passing, save the angry for your Battlestar Forums.

4:25 pm
Lots of dragon flies here.

6:22 pm
CSS has girls. Crowd of dudes gets three boners each.

6:40 pm
Born Slippy has been in my life longer than Feed The Animals.

Underworld - Born Slippy Parts 1 and 2. 1, as I realized they started playing it and power walked over. 2, as I stood, drooling and sunburned.



Girl Talk - 1 and 2. He threw on A Milli for Clinth, the lovely Spanish gentleman in the second video. Yup, that's my roommate. Yup, I know "ethnic" people.



Then I got bored and stopped texting. I filmed TONS of shit, so here is what I got from the first day.

Somewhere in there I filmed The New Pornographers making a reference to "Strange Brew" that no one got. Then I call their singer a "hoser". Then they make fun of the crowd for being all dudes. Then they play a song.


Ooh and here they are covering "Don't Bring Me Down" by ELO. Filmed from the beer tent, and only for six seconds. It was a great cover though.


I also grabbed some video of Mates of State for my girlfriend and I was pleasantly surprised. No snarkiness here, just decent music.


Then the batteries on my camera died. Don't worry (if you were worrying) I did get a chance to "film" radiohead the second night, but we are a looooonnnng way from posting that shit. Timeliness? Psssshhhhh.
