Reagan, and I have been pretty pumped about this show for a couple of months now. It was especially cool, because we generally try to get to a lot of shows during the summer, when it is nice outside. For whatever reason (the exceptional amount of rain is actually probably the reason), we haven’t really been to many, this year. In fact, we have been to one, if you don’t count seeing the philharmonic in Central Park. We were, of course bummed when we heard the news about MCA. But we would be crazy to complain about who they found to replace the B-boys. We showed up around 3 and just kind of wandered around to check the place out. It was kind of sprinkling on and off. We ran into on of our friends right before it started to pour. We found a little tent booth that had been abandoned and spend the next 3 hours under it. Hahahaah
It rained for Vampire Weekend’s entire set, but they were really cool about it. We actually still had a really good time watching from under the tent.
After the clouds finally broke, the sky looked amazing. But the ground was a complete disaster.
We wandered over to one of the satellite stages, to watch Q-tip, while they were setting up for Jay-Z. Q-Tip was awesome. He did a bunch of old Tribe songs, and a tribute to MCA/B-boys.
Jay-Z was incredible. The only problem was that Reagan for some reason was feeling really sick. We had a really good spot, not too far from the stage, but she kept gagging, etc. So we went away from the crowd, so that she could puke, and get something to drink. I felt bad for her. But she said she was still having fun. So We just watched the rest of the show from the side, then the way-back. It was actually a lot of fun.
^—Reagy, not feeling too hot.
One very cool thing about the weather situation, is that the organizers are giving all of the people who bought Friday tickets, free admission to Saturday or Sunday. I think that we are going to go Sunday evening for Coldplay. Go here for the rest of the photos.
Here for a video of Reagan dancing to Q-tip.

I only know Q-Tip from mt favorite Beastie Boys song Get it Together. He performed it with them when I saw them in concert. It was awesome because it was a surprise and I was so excited to hear my favorite song live. I am jealous of vampire weekend. We love those guys.
The video was AWESOME. It reminded me of the family video Reagan did with her sister, LOVED IT! You guys are cool.
I was touched ,after looking at you two’s photos. Caring and loving shows upon my mind .
And,the sky looks extremly beautiful after raining.
