Interesting weekend of being contently lonely.

I took the 4 hour trip up to the Newport Folk Festival all alone.
It was an amazing time.
Ben Kweller
The Low Anthem
Mavis Staples
Fleet Foxes
Iron & Wine.

I bought myself a gorgeous ring, and dangling black earrings.
also
a falafel sandwich
and
a jasmine iced tea.

Matt came down from Boston and met up with me during Fleet Foxes.
We went to dinner in town.
Lobster Bisque
Caesar Salad.

Salt Water Taffy.

Gorgeous night.

The zipper broke on my favorite purse.
It is one of those super trivial things, that bum you out beyond belief.

The next day I tore off my front bumper.
and
duck taped it back on.

Watched the first 3 episodes of Lost in Rob's new living room.
Pizza and garlic knots and laundry.


I have a busy week ahead. Too much to do, that I don't want to think about, so I won't write it.



Taking the trek up to Newport all by my lonesome, I had enough time to do a lot of thinking in the car. My favorite thought was, if I were to create my own music festival, and if I could have any bands/artists (dead or alive) that I want, what would the line-up look like.

Here it is.

Devendra Banhart
Otis Redding
