Outside Lands was incredible as expected and it was so nice to see Maureen and to roam around Berkeley! The first day was kind of lame because it was hard to see everyone we wanted to see and it was impossible to walk anywhere because of the crowds (over 60,000 people in Golden Gate Park). The second and the third days, however, went really well. My favorite shows included Lupe Fiasco, Bon Iver, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tom Petty and Jack Johnson. Unfortunately I didn't get to see Cake, but perhaps another time I'll be so lucky.
The only down part of the trip was our drive home on Monday. Not only did I get a speeding ticket five minutes after taking the wheel, but my hand was completely swollen and sore due to a spider bite that I had received the night before. Luckily, Devany enjoys driving more than I which allowed me to relax and get some rest before my bus ride to Black Butte today to meet up with Carrie's family. After that, it'll be off to Wisconsin this Saturday for a week of hanging out with my grandma, visiting my uncle's lakefront cabin and seeing my amazing friends in Madison.
Nos vemos pronto...
