"Getting wet is not like dying."

Superdome loses part of the roof. Some people get wet, but choose to keep spirits positive. You can learn a lot about people in how they respond to unplanned times.

Another blogger @ Accident Prone (and former classmate), who was at the Jack Johnson concert in Somerset, WI this weekend, captures some of my thoughts.

The concert was at River's Edge, one of the smaller tubing resorts in town. The weather was perfect, and they put on a good show. The crowd was mellow and cooperative (no bottles :), and everything came off in a more or less organized fashion. Keeping the campground, tubing, and parking in check when the great numbers of people descend for the music, it's no small feat.

In years past, I've seen Lenny Kravitz roll into River's Edge's main entrance on his bike when he played one festival (Lollapalloza or String Cheese?), and remember Beck belting out "two turntables and a microphone" under an evening sky. Johnson's "Good People" and his encore Saturday night that started out with the "Plastic Jesus" lyrics were special, as was the non-muddy weather. You take what you get, and sometimes it all comes together seemingly seamlessly.
