hi. now we’re in d.c, the nations capitol, and my hotel windows look into this office building across the street.
so as i sit here typing on my computer i can see a couple of hundred people doing the exact same thing.
although, i’ll be presumptuous and assume that i’m enjoying myself more than they are. but i could be wrong, maybe they’re all gleefuly clicking away with their business mouses(oops. mice). fishes. sheeps. mouses.
yesterday in atlanta was, if i might be so immodest, amazing. what a fun and cool(figuratively, not literally.
it was 102 degrees apparently day. and all of the dj’s and performers were so good!
i feel so fortunate. it’s one thing to conceive of something and work on it’s execution, but it’s another thing entirely to actually see it incarnate(did i use that word correctly?).
to look out and see 15,000 people dancing to outkast and to remember writing their name down on a piece of paper last october as a band that i really wanted to have involved in the festival.
hopefully the rest of the tour will be as much fun as this first date was.
and to anyone reading this who came out yesterday: thank you.
as i said last night, i can have the greatest festival in the world with the best bands and dj’s, but if there aren’t people in the audience then i have nothing.
for at the end of the day musicians are, to a large extent, public servants. or so i believe.
