not riotous, but explosive all the same


Explosions in the Sky, if you've never heard them, cut up the rock. Explosions, Xion-I and Girl Talk were the best acts I caught this weekend while in SF.

The Riottt festival at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium was anything but--it didn't warrant the three "t"s; two would have been suffice--but there still were plenty of good acts. I hadn't been to an indoor festival with multiple rooms as such in a long while.

Other than that, I played a lot of 64 Mariokart and didn't do much of else. I'll post more when I'm caught up at work.
