my body just stops me in my tracks at a music festival and screams NO! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Because I think I’ll add a few years back to my lifespan.
Pitchfork 2011 is in the books, and it’s a precursor to Chicago’s other festival, you may have heard of it Lollapalooza. Essentially 3 days of boozing, eating horribly unhealthy food, spending way too much time in the sun, and destroying my feet. And oh yeah, the whole lack of sleep thing too. I have felt pretty horrible all day. Not drunk hungover, but festival hangover, which in many ways is worse than drunk hungover.
As the years have gone by, my feet ache a little more, my body is a little more tired than the previous year, and I wonder when my body will give out. Not like, die, but basically tell me Phil, I’m done, you can’t keep doing this to me, signed, your body. We’ll see. Regardless, I’m still having way too much fun at these things to stop. So I’ll keep trucking until I can truck no longer.
