Day 2 should be a pretty light day – Danielle and I decided to treat ourselves and got Gold Circle passes for Feist. We’ll be getting there early to do some exploring around the smaller stages. The only other act I really want to catch today is Ottawa-based Evil Farm Children who I’ve heard many good things about. So our taking-it-easy schedule should look something like this:
6:00PM – Evil Farm Children – Roots Stage
9:30PM – Feist – Bank of America Stage
Ok, so much for my list… I caught the end of Secret Machines – who I’m sure were very good, but I was too busy tracking down food and booze and people… ended up meeting up with Scott and friends who were great company – but we spent much time catching up and not so much running around like my sched would have required – no biggie, it was good to catch up.
Saw TV on the Radio – well, kinda heard them while catching up with the gang – unfortunately was in line for the bathroom during Staring at the Sun, the only song of theirs I know.
Totally missed Fiftymen and The Blind Boys of Alabama – really wish I could have caught them, but what can you do. The Hip, well they were great as always. Not the best performance of theirs I’ve seen, but then I’ve seen them a hell of a lot. I wish I was 10 years younger and could have gotten closer to the stage – thank god for the big screens. Good times all in all, but I’m gonna have to get moving if I want to make a dent in my possibly impossible list of acts I want to see.
Here we go! 10 days of musical bliss! Let’s see what we can do about my possibly impossible list of artists I want to see. Tonights schedule:
7:00PM – Secret Machines – Bank of America Stage
7:30PM – Fiftymen – Roots Stage
8:15PM – TV on the Radio – Rogers Stage
9:00PM – The Blind Boys of Alabama – Roots Stage
9:30PM – The Tragically Hip – Bank of America Stage
Oh man… there’s some serious overlap and lots of running between stages there already. I’ll report back later or maybe tomorrow.
