I am currently training for my first marathon (Cleveland on May 16), so I had to adjust my training schedule to get the half in (should have been a higher mileage long run) but with the PR, I feel like it was worth it. <br /><br />How was your race? I felt so bad for those full marathon runners when it started to pour! <br /><br />Did you hear about the Cade's Cove race coming up in April when the re-open the loop? I will try to get a post up about it actually because it sounds really cool. I just need to wait on a little more information about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-63680986135163126782010-03-31T20:09:33.709-04:002010-03-31T20:09:33.709-04:00Off topic, but em, how was your race?Off topic, but em, how was your race?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912727265163567620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-59546373796234108912010-03-31T20:04:07.470-04:002010-03-31T20:04:07.470-04:00I'm glad to hear the event was such a success....I'm glad to hear the event was such a success.

What a great festival, and so so glad ACEntertainment decided to keep it in Knoxville when they could have held it anywhere.<br /><br />One of the best things for me is reading all the hipster music blogs rave about how pleasant a place Knoxville is to visit (not to mention the LA & NY Times). <br /><br />We were talking last night about how the bloggers seem to have latched on to the fact that Knoxville - as a whole - is, probably subconsciously, and possibly at long last, not trying to define itself in terms of other cities, or what it COULD be, but rather what it has become of its own accord. <br /><br />I just know the longer I stay here the more I love it.Wax S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-13784579318938732672010-03-29T15:13:57.319-04:002010-03-29T15:13:57.319-04:00I took my break at Nama with a friend from out of ...I took my break at Nama with a friend from out of town not at Square Room (that would have been smart) And during Jens Hanniman, I went home and laid on my couch with my cat for 30 minutes. <br /><br />After Joanna's 2 hour set, I was a goner. Swung by Sassy Anne's for 10 minutes and then hit the hay. <br /><br />You are right. I would have died trying to see all of that. Extremely tiring. <br /><br />Wild Bill, however, is a weasel. I received a text from him at 3:45 am telling me to come to the Knoears party at TVB. <br /><br />Wild Bill, you're crazy!!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546560836715616196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-35744152890910550742010-03-29T14:40:10.251-04:002010-03-29T14:40:10.251-04:00So, B, let me get this straight.

Your Saturday looked like this?<br /><br />1:00- 802 Tour (including Samamidon, my man-crush) at the Bijou<br />3:45- Dirty Projectors at the Tenn. Theater<br />5:00- Clogs at the Bijou<br /><br />(break for dinner at Cafe 4 while watching Samamidon play at the Square Room through the window)<br /><br />8:40- Vampire Weekend at the Tenn. Theater<br />10:00- Jens Hannemann (aka Fred Armisen) at the Bijou<br />11:00- Joanna Newsom at the Bijou<br />1:30- Gang Gang Dance at the Annex<br /><br />If that wasn't what your Saturday looked like, that's understandable because you likely would have died from getting too much of a revealing glimpse of heaven.benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178217936894254981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-23309857356303407712010-03-29T14:02:00.892-04:002010-03-29T14:02:00.892-04:00I saw him Saturday afternoon play with 802 Tour.

Sam was amazing. He opened at the KMA and it was beautiful. They had giant white balloons everywhere, they were rolling on the lawn outside where it was thunderstorm clouds and inside was silent except for Sam with doveman playing piano. It was the perfect way to start this festival.Wild Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-80478079195312625972010-03-29T12:45:34.451-04:002010-03-29T12:45:34.451-04:00What types of music did the festival include?

All of the above?<br /><br />Or did none of it fall into any of these categories?<br /><br />I'm not familiar with any of the band names I've seen, and I just wonder if there was any of it that I might've enjoyed.<br /><br />Maybe I will try to catch some of it next year, if I think I'll like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-56092377599254859432010-03-29T12:19:18.382-04:002010-03-29T12:19:18.382-04:00Did anyone go see Samamidon?

The Clogs show Saturday afternoon really seemed to epitomize the collaborative spirit of the Festival to me.
