During my broadcast on the air live from Bonnaroo, I had a couple surprise guests. First, Zack and Pat from Rogue Wave stopped by my studio. They're touring with Death Cab for Cutie right now and had played to a pretty decent crowd earlier today at their show.

After Mason Jennings recorded his backstage radio instudio, he stopped by to chat with me. He's just starting out his tour with Jack Johnson. I was really happy he stopped by, he's been the only Minnesota artist at Bonnaroo this year. He played two shows yesterday at Bonnaroo. I've never talked to Mason Jennings before, I thought he was a really nice guy, very down to Earth. And- it was nice that we had the Minnesota connection in common down here in Manchester, Tennesee!

Another surprise was running into Aimee Mann outside of the "latrine." She really took me by surprise, she was the last person I expected to see waiting in line. I said "hello" to her and gave her an awkward wave. I didn't think it would be cool to shake her hand right after walking out of the biff. I have some class... I think.

Tonight's agenda includes seeing Robert Plant and Allison Krauss perform on the main stage. I think I may also kick back and have some fun after 4 days of Bonnaroo!
