What a crazy several days it’s been here at Bonnaroo 2007. Let me start by saying thank you to all of the artists who performed for agreeing to come down here, being both patient and indulgent of the writers and photographers who packed this place out (along with 80,000 of our new closest friends). I also want to say a huge thank you to Nathan, without whom this adventure would have been highly self-indulgent and boring.
