To the ones who saw Brazilian Girls, what was Sabina wearing? 
only thing i remember is that she was wearing white face paint and some sort of body-hugging lycra suit with colorful bits. they didn't impress me much, didn't stick around for too long.
other thoughts:
late departure for ontap bus was indeed annoying. i was willing to show up earlier and leave earlier. bummed that i missed kasabian and wolfmother.
thumbs up:
new pronos
thievery
killers
rhcp (from fairly close up we got good sound, and my god is john a talented musician)
(... and the fact that the rain held out!)
only so-so:
cyhsy
brazilian girls
the who
boring:
raconteurs
gnarls
painful:
the sound in the DJ tent. i went to check out RJD2, and the high end was distorting while the bass was anemic. hurt my ears. maybe it improved later, but i didn't want to risk that experience again
festival pet peeves:
- trash everywhere
- crowd-surfers. not only is this retarded activity dangerous to non-surfers (getting kicked in the head), it has obvious taken a toll on the IQ of those who practice it: idiots asked for a lift up in areas where the crowd wasn't dense enough to support them. predictable effect: their asses got dropped, and hard.
- real estate hogs: folks who threw down a blanket and think they have a god-given right to that space for *the rest of the day*. if i show up when the doors open, run to the front rail and throw down a blanket at the front row by the stage, can i expect to have that spot all day? of course not. the look of indignation on people's face when crowds got thicker and started stepping on their blankets (but refused to budge) was hillarious.
there was some serious drinking going down. i wonder how many people's drinking got in the way of them enjoying and/or remembering the festival... what's the point?
despite the above kvetching, i had a great time. definitely hope there is another edition next year.
