37 bands. Lots more solo guitar music and noise/drone this year. The latter was probably because Merzbow is A Big Deal (or so I'm told) and the former because I had low energy all weekend. I stand by my choices, though. *flops on ground* Festivals and conventions are intense, y'all. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow.

Hopscotch is the only festival I've ever been to, but I love it! It's close and doesn't involve camping, both huge pluses. (I like camping! But maybe not while attending a music festival.)

The Breeders were all so happy, it was great.
