Had an interesting day in terms of getting a visitor pass (the Midway kiosk was broken), and getting into the hotel (they didn’t have our names on the reservation, only the name of our fearless leader, who was in Kiev), but about six glasses of Jack Daniel’s made all of our problems go away. (As Homer Simpson will tell you, alcohol is the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.)
The weather forecast isn’t nearly as bad as we feared. It’s only supposed to get up to 87 degrees, which is a huge improvement over, say, the 105-degree heat of 2005. First up: the Fratellis, who hit the stage before lunch (11:45). I’m also particularly stoked to see Polyphonic Spree, and it’ll be interesting to see if LCD Soundsystem can live up to their ridiculous hype in concert. Stay tuned, kids. In the meantime, go watch Daft Punk’s videos on YouTube and start working on your robot dance.
