update on Dana's US adventures - Michigan reunion & ACL

Wanted to give a quick update on US happenings with Dana. A week(end) ago we had our 5-year Michigan reunion. It was great getting to catch up with old friends, to take in a Michigan football game, and to celebrate at the Bus.

This weekend, I went down to Austin with Foxy & Anissa to see Austin City Limits, a 3-day music festival. We were fortunate to get some backstage/VIP access for a couple of shows, which was very cool. There was lots of great music, and the event was made quite entertaining by the rain that came on Saturday, turning the park field into a giant mudpit for Saturday night and all of Sunday (ending up barefoot by Sunday night as flip flops became completely stuck in the mud). Concert highlights included Thievery Corporation (inside the barrier to see up close), a great Pearl Jam set (both old & new, as well as Perry Farrell & Ben Harper joining for PJ's encores), the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dave Matthews Band, Dead Weather, Girl Talk, and backstage for And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead. Also was great to catch up with Sara & James, and to eat great Austin food.

  1. Sounds like a great birthday weekend! I almost called you at 5:40 Saturday morning, but then thought... maybe not! :-)
