Steam. Engine.  That is all.

Steam. Engine.  WAAAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!

We were on the rail all flippin day Saturday and it was awesome.  Particularly for The National - Mat was exceptionally wild that night.  The highlight of the early evening was when Vampire Weekend ended. Not kidding.  (I did not know that VW could encourage so much crowd surfing and moshing?!?  It was retahded.  Ugh.)

For the Jacket's set Denise and Pooch were on stage and luckily Denise wasn't blocking my view because we were in front of Carl and she was waaaay up front, center.  I heard lot's of people shouting to "Move the donkey" (Denise was wearing a mask).  But alas, she dared not move.  I think she may have a crush on jj.

We had the owl/flying v flag over in regular camping and it was AWESOME!!!  Although, nobody commented but they sure did admire it as they passed.

Steam. Engine.  That is all.

We didn't make it down to the main pit area at all. No wonder we never saw you. Portugal The Man, Edward Sharpe rocked the Bigfoot stage, BSS and National were unreal. Thanks to the weather for cooling off and in turn we got to stand in line for a coffee and miss ALL (!!!!!!!!!) of Vamp Week...fuck they suck but somehow managed the biggest crowd of the weekend.

Ps The Gorge > Red Rocks    ;)

Actually, MMJ had the biggest crowd on Saturday night. LCD Soundsystem probably had the biggest of the weekend -- and it was well deserved.

I don't see how you could think that. The hill was more or less empty for more than half of MMJ. They may have had the biggest crowd to start but it quickly dwindled. I heard the odd comment such as "not as good as I thought" or "Ok time for Deadmau5". The hill was FULL for all of VW...which is both sad and unfortunate. I have only seen video of LCD and it looked crazy.

Ah, I see. I was in the pit, which was packed. I assumed the hill was full. Thanks.

That is one hundred percent me. My (new) friend Laura snapped it. There is also an equally stellar photo where it appears Jim James is laughing at something hilarious I obviously said.

Enough about burritos though. This show rocked. It was sad to see the lawn clear out a bit but like people have said, apparently the Vampire Weekend fans weren't ready for all of the slaying that was taking placed.

any chance there is a youtube of steam engine floating around anywhere?

I am not embarrassed to say it was the highlight of my weekend. There is one picture where we're both laughing but I don't know how to post it. Hopefully, if I see Jim in August at the Chicago show, we can recall this moment.

Haven't found one. It was my first Steam Engine so there was no way in hell I was pulling the camera back out and missing a face melting to record it. We have some quality stuff but I won't put it up because you can hear me screaming loud and clear throughout.
