80/35 was a festival highlighted by its surprising local acts and, of course, The Flaming Lips and The Roots. A lot, however, went on, and these are the things I learned from an altogether pleasant festival-going experience:
- The Flaming Lips still put on the funnest show in the world.
- Festivals always seem to attract its fair share of hippies.
- Jakob Dylan drinks as if he were still relevant.
- Yonder Mountain String Band drinks like they know they should.
- Des Moines has some impressive DJ talent, as evidenced not by one, not by two, but by three separate occasions (more on this in some ensuing posts).
- Des Moines drinks, and it drinks well (more on this later as well).
- Des Moines appreciates typography as much as I do.

Sounds like fun.
I hate hippies. Really.
I just saw Colormusic this past weekend. They were pretty awesome. I guess they have a major label release due this fall.
Yeah apparently they have the same manager as the Lips and/or Wayne Coyne is their manager.
same manager as.
