Moogfest Day 1 in a nutshell

Holy god this is insanity.

In my first day in Asheville I have:

-met so many people, wow.
-Had awesome southern BBQ and locally brewed beer
-met the owners of many local businesses and local guitar pedal makers
-Seen way too many amazing bands in the space of one evening.

The night started (after a crazy day checking in, meeting an Austrian via New York Theramin player, finding my hosts house, meeting their children, figuring out where to go and walk, meeting locals, etc.) with the Octopus project, who were then joined by DEVO, then I ran to the civic center auditorium to see Big Boi, then I ran and caught the end of Saturn Never Sleep, then ran an caught a song by MGMT, took a moment and ate a bagel and heard a little of an open mic in a coffee shop, ran and caught the end of RJD2’s set, saw the first half of MuteMath’s set, then went and saw some of Girl Talk, and then finished the night with Javelin before walking to my place of rest with two strangers who happened to be walking the same way. We talked about the evils of politics and society, related to history of course. They’d drunk a bit.
