Super Mario’s brother and I started our adventure to the Monolith Festival last night leaving the SLC nearing the late local news. Had a little stop at the Little America Wyoming for a little midnight snack. Our server was a young chap from Turkey who played for the national team for a couple of years and happened to know Dunny from the tube. Cheyenne was a short pit-stop to rest the eyes before taking off to Denver this morning.
This afternoon we checked into our hotel and scoped out the festival area. Cut/Copy is first on our list and they hit the stage at 4:30. The rest of tonights line-up includes Del the Funky Homosapien, Vampire Weekend, Silversun Pickups, The Presets, and topping off the first day is Atmosphere.
