We were tired as hell the entire time we were there, but in good spirits indeed.

Hmmmmm… Camping or a hotel room… tough choice… maybe I’ll break out the tent next time around… NOT!

Geeeez…Who’s a girl gotta sleep with around here to get one of those Infinity passes???
Apparently this guy… or Trent Reznor. We were pretty hooked up in the “all access” pass department, but when Nine Inch Nails came on and we tried to get on stage, we discovered that not all passes were not created equal. Should’ve gotten that guy’s digits… might come in handy when I go to Lollapalooza… just kidding.

Who isn’t obsessed with Santigold??? If you’re not, you either haven’t heard her music or seen her show, because when you do, you will be a believer… Santi and I became friends not too long ago. After seeing her show for the first time ever, I pledged my undying need to be her back-up dancer under-study. Is that weird? Those ladies are killer!!! Santi always brings an audience member on stage to dance a song or two… And I have shamelessly positioned myself to be that person… But sometimes I have to share the stage with others. So there I was, boxing out hippies on stage with Santigold. Dude, it was awesome!

The Reverend Al Green, taking us all to church at the ‘Roo.

I can’t live without my TV or my Radio…How awesome is Kip’s tie-dye dashiki ensemble?? This was my second time seeing TV on the Radio perform: first time at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple and then Bonnaroo. From a small venue to a full on festival, doesn’t matter where they play, they always kill it. There’s a golden age coming ‘round, coming ‘round, coming ‘round…

The Beastie Boys!!!! So whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, want???

How about a little Nasty Nas in the front?

Look at all the green people…Had to be over 70,000 at the festival.

The Mars Volta in a Woodstock moment…

No seriously, who do I have to sleep with around here to…

My big moment… Those crickets loved every minute of it!

The Goddess wisdom, Erykah Badu…She’s rockin’ a Public Enemy hoodie, tight jeans, and 5-inch stiletto ankle boots. I mean, amazing… especially since it was hot as hell and my feet were jacked up from wearing rubber wellies the whole time. I couldn’t even imagine… but then again that’s what’s makes her Badu and me, I’m the chick with swamp foot…

Me and my new buddy, Wyatt Cenac (writer for Daily Show)

Festival staples: beer and rubber boots… Caveat: having to pee all the time, which means using porta-potties, and swamp foot.
