All Point's West!

Friday:

horse sculpture:

"solar Pavilion 2 is a light-weight reconfigurable structure that utilizes properties of self-organization found in natural systems. The easily deployable structure was designed with a zero-waste mandate and constructed with a range of innovative eco-friendly materials."




Pretty lady friends:

New Pornographers! They had these really terrible video projections in back of the bands, doing all sorts of corny spiraling effects and whatnot. Somewhat amusing with the crowd-shots they did. It was always the same reaction; person is surprised, then embarrassed, then happy and waving like crazy.


Underworld!! I was so excited and danced like crazy. It's a shame they had to play in broad daylight, but they played some of my favorite songs of theirs, so that was quickly forgotten.

Crowd behind me waiting for Radiohead to come on...

I was pretty wiped out after Underworld and it was utterly amazing to have two of my favorite bands ever, back-to-back. Radiohead had the best light show I have ever seen in my life, including those from their previous tours. Pretty mesmerizing overall and my brain felt like mush by the end of the set.





Saturday:

Loungin' in the sun, waiting for Metric to go on. Lot's of people-watching.



I love Emily Haines. Metric:


I stopped taking pictures at this point. In summary: K and I sat through the most torturous sets by Animal Collective and Kings of Leon ever. So, so bad! After 4+ hours of ear violation, we were both pretty fidgety and anxious for Radiohead to come on. We were further back this time, with waaay more people in attendance than friday night. It was fine though; I was the crazy-dancing girl. Friday I concentrated much more on the light show, as I was so worn out by the crazy weather and Underworld. Saturday was much, much more energized.
