Saturday was sunny and electronic; Sunday was chilly and leaned more toward back-to-basics rock. Also thrown in was some gypsy music, hip-hop, and whatever you want to call this new rock operetta thing The Decemberists can't keep themselves from playing, as well as several cupcake hovercrafts, and a steampunk sideshow with old-timey games hosted by Mister Gnogiurzauchshoff's Traveling Midway of Curiosities and Delights. And both days sold out! Weather shifts aside, the Treasure Island Music Fest was once again the swellest and most human-scaled festival we've ever been to -- and as Thao, she of the Get Down Stay Down, put it, it's simply "the bestival."
NOW UPDATED... with a few shots of the Flaming Lips by vonlohmann on Flickr, which we failed to get due to battery troubles.

Heard it sold out SAT , great job!
it's neither funny nor cool to post a photo of what appears to be two people partying at the festival (picture #28). hopefully they gave you permission to do so. if not, the only thing not swell about the festival was this inconsiderate photographer and blogger.
But they were disguised as hot dogs! ANyhow... objection noted, sustained. Photo removed.
Now I'm curious. What were the people who were "partying" doing?
Just smoking pot, and dressed as hot dogs! Anyway, we thought this was hardly controversial on a Bay Area blog, but out of respect for these kids' future non-San Francisco political careers, we removed it.
