Just love the new images from Bonnaroo, especially those of Bruce. Apparently the boss was in rare form and Backstage Gallery has the pics to prove it.

Dog Paste Up, Jersey City
Dog Paste Up, Jersey City, originally uploaded by DRheins.
Walking through Jersey City, Tamster and I discovered some unexpected treasures. First, we stumbled upon a great, hole-in-the-wall Dominican bakery, where we bought some apricot pastries, and then, we found lots of local street art. Snapped a few shots with the iPhone, which inspired the following haiku:
Serendipity on a Jersey Street Sign
Saturday morning
eating albaricoque
