Hole went on a little after 10 last night, I shit you not. Set was 50mins tops given the 11pm T5 curfew. Needless to say I was disappointed and glad I didn't have to pay for my ticket.

Hanson killed it last night. The cover of Omalley's Bar Part I was unexpected and epic!

Wonder if Jay Electronica will ramble written-freestyle accapella for half his set tonite and have people consider that as the new standard for dope.

I found two newborn feral kittens in my front yard today. I hope they haven't been abandoned. :(

Thanks for pointing this out, made sure to get there on time for them and they were amazing. I didn't really like the second band but what can you do.
