Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy

soooo, let me start by saying this, today was perfect. you’ll have to excuse this blog btw, i’m exhausted and bill cosby is being crazy on the tv. anyways, so we woke up this morning @ about 830 and got our stuff together and went straight to lolla[alooza. parking was relatively easy to find blahbeeblahbeeblah let me get to the part i want to talk about. so since we have press passes, we have free access and get to hang out in the media area which is amazing. let me explain why…unlimited FREE supply of the following: beer, wine, food(chicken,pizza,candy) and water…which, if you’ve been to an outdoor concert, will understand is as valuable as gold. first band we got to check out was the black lips which is like my favorite group. not a bad way to start the day. afterwards we hung out in the media area drinking some beers and waiting for our oncoming interviews. first up we had octopus project…we were pretty nervous and weren’t exactly great at concealing it a la jason dropping his extremely expensive camera. they were suuuuuper nice and chill and they gave us a pretty good interview…unfortunately we think the audio is clouded out by some shit band that was playing on a nearby stage. next up we had the black lips, which to say the least was a golden moment for me. it went pretty much as expected…excessive cursing, beer drinking, chicken eating, jared saying “god is a fucking faggot” just so we would have to edit it……in other words it was eeeeexcellent. a bunch of them ended up getting drunk and passing out on the couch afterwards which i found hilarious and appropriate. our last interview was with the super tiny and cute “Chi”, the drummer of The Go Team. We love the go team. a lot. she definitely gave us the best material and i think it’ll come out good for our documentary..it was really inspiring talking to her and it was probably my favorite moment of the day….did i mention shes adorable? lets see…….oh yes! i almost forgot. just for a random funny moment, if you’ve ever seen that episode of rob and big where they meet that guy that travels the country giving away free ice cream, well we got ice cream from him today while chilling on a couch in the media section…i had one of those moments where he gave me ice cream and then i just stopped and went….”wait were you on rob and big” “yes” “oh….you’re THAT GUY!” pretty funny. okay anyways, so after we finished our interview with Chi we finished up the day by getting some more pictures w good artists and then went and watched cat power, raconteurs, css and radiohead. amazing. this whole thing is a bit scatterbrained…what a day…..if everyday of this trip is a 10th as good as this day was then this will be the most amazing trip ever. i’ll try and get jason to blog something since half of this probably doesn’t make sense. over and out.
