Last night, I went to the Big Wu concert in Iowa City. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. It ranks, possibly, as the greatest Wu show I've ever seen. They encore'ed with Won't Get Fooled Again after having jammed Baba O'Riley for about fifteen minutes. They played Pinnacle. They played Minnesota Moon. And by the end of the mega-long set, it felt like my left ear was pressed right up against the gigantic speaker in front of me, and it might as well have been. When I woke up at 9:00 to buy my Bonnaroo ticket, my ear was still ringing. But it was worth it.

Their opening act, Euphorquestra, were an excellent warm-up. It was like hearing Santana. Except with a bunch of college kids in place of world-famous musicians. And the lead guitarist broke a string about three minutes into their first thirty minute jam. It was pretty sweet.

Charlie almost fell asleep and drove us into a ditch on the way back to Grinnell. But he didn't. So it's funny. Instead of unfortunate.

I had a dream during the period of time during which I was asleep after purchasing my Bonnaroo ticket (9:30AM-3:00PM) in which Matt and I were on one of those crazy Japanese game shows. In ours, we had to breakdance while dueling with razor-sharp scimitars; we were judged à la American Idol. We got third place.

Peace.
