^just got back from
Outside Lands! The atmosphere there was pretty awesome. everyone was high, drunk, or a little bit of both, and there was swaying, boogie-ing, and exuberant dancing everywhere!
anyways, first lets rewind a bit.
8/21. Sisterhood and
Pineapple Express with Eliza and Zsa Zsa. Z was super late so we ended up missing the first few precious minutes of sisterhood during which the male interests were HALF-NEKKED. damn. i kept hoping another nakkie scene would come up but nooOOOoooo
. then
pineapple express was hilarious, but in a more grosser, more graphic way than
tropic thunder was. james franco was adorable
i want my drug dealer to be just like him!
8/22. fellowship bowling night! vivian's car was missing so some people couldnt join us for dinner at in-and-out, but randy went back to get the rest of the kids to join us at sea bowl. only $11 for 2.5 hours, baby! haha, even though i lost every game and got my ass kicked by my juniors (daryl's a freak in the alley i tell you!), it was really fun. esp making daryl dance to "move your body like a cyclone, we're gonna do it all night long...."
8/23-24. volunteered at the outside lands recycling booth. manned the booth, and also passed out free reusuable grocery bags to people. people came to the booth exchange empty bottles, cans, and cups for prizes. it was really inspiring to see so many people come up to the booth to ask questions and to turn in recyclables they've picked up around the festival grouds, and also to give us praise and encouragement for the recycling cause! yayyy, people CARE! the best part? FREE water, meal tickets (there was a gordo's burrito stand, yayyy!), cookies, 1 year of netflicks, cd, t-shirt, and a
juno pencil, yayyyyy. also, the booth was actually situated at a very good place so that we could here music from 2 of the 5 festival stages (panhandle and twin peaks). so while hanging out at the booth, i got the listen to a bunch of good artists, some of whom i didnt even know about before! people i enjoyed include:
Rupa & the April Fishes (sf-based! i dont know how to explain their sound. ethnic? but what the heck does that mean? but she was good
)
.
Cafe Tacvba (the music just makes we want to dance! and they have so much energy on stage).
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals (amazing, as expected
he's better live than recorded).
Matt Nathanson (his sound is just very.... mainstream? good, but nothing new. i'd still burn his cd, haha XD. he's a hilarious guy, and i think he lives in the haight!
)
K'Naan (like Kanye, but better =X. and wayyy more political in his lyrics. a poet.)
Andrew Bird (more good, chill music
he reminded me of Jack Johnson, but more indie?).
Sila & the Afrofunk Experience (feel-good funky energetic music with an african feel. he engaged the audience with a mix of swahili and english, which was super cool!)
Jack Johnson (live perfection, so effortless <33333. he also brought a lot of other artists to share the stage and sing with him, so that was cool too. )
Lupe Fiasco. not my cuppa tea, but he was very energetic! he covered that entire stage every 20 seconds, i swear XD.
i stayed around for
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, but i left early =X
