South Africa's ambassador to Live 8

Kami the HIV Positive Muppet! :D

I never knew just how close Philadelphia was - you can basically take public transportation all the way from New York to Philly. So, we hopped onto NJ Transit all the way to Trenton (for the capital of NJ, not a very impressive town) then Philly's SEPTA all the way to the main station. By the time we got there, we could hear music was booming over the river - the Philadelphia museum's obviously within hearing distance. Unfortunately, that was probably the Black Eyed Peas playing, so I missed one of the bands I'd really wanted to see. But I did get to see Kami, the HIV positive muppet from South Africa - that was pretty awesome.

Headliners were:

Alicia Keys
Black Eyed Peas
Bon Jovi
Dave Matthews Band
Def Leppard
Destiny's Child
Jay-Z
Josh Groban
Kaiser Chiefs
Keith Urban
Linkin Park
Maroon 5
P Diddy (who deserves a bolding for his socially conscious work with the people who make his clothes)
Rob Thomas
Sarah McLachlan
Stevie Wonder
Toby Keith

It was a rockin' but HOT day - lots of sunburns came walking by us by the end of the day. And we stayed until the bitter end, when we were rewarded with Stevie Wonder! Woo-hoo! Plus, I got to use my new digital camera to take some fun pics. All in all, a good day.
