Sat 15 Sep – Treasure Island Music Festival

We left the house around 9 AM on Sunday, drove across the Golden Gate, and pulled up to the AT&T Park parking lot A in order to wait for the shuttle. They were putting up gigantic signs with a laundry list of banned items...the obvious such as alcohol and video cameras. But also, cameras (they meant professional cameras but didn't really clarify, so I walked back and forth a few times returning my camera to the car and then retrieving it), and lawn furniture, and they said, "There is grass to sit on."

Sat 16 Sep – Treasure Island Music Festival

while day one was mostly devoted to electronica (more or less) day two was mostly indie. the boys really REALLY like their indie, so we got a head start on things. we pulled into the parking lot by 1p this time and were on the island by 130p.

we showed up in between sets for stages and did some pokeing around before we bothered to so wade into the crowd for the nights fun. the first group we saw was M.Ward, they were passable, nothing special though.

we went back out and got food, hanging out listening to Sea Wolf from the concorse and then chilled in front of the ferris wheel-

for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. we went back up to the main stage for Built to Spill and had a ball watching them. even modest mouse came out to watch them from the side.

sadly, Spoon seemed a bit off, still a good set, but not as good as one would expect. some beats were off, some chords were off, but the energy was good, so hey. …
