This past weekend was my second experience at Outside Lands and it was full of the unexpected. Our journey began late Thursday night with a massive detour to avoid road construction that took us down what we like to call “Alien Abduction Alley”. The name isn’t an exaggeration. The back road we took made for a terrifying pitch black, one-lane-road driving experience that was capped off by a wild electrical storm enveloping us from all sides with huge lightening bolts. It felt like we were going to be beamed up at any moment.
Once we made it to the Bay Area it was relatively smooth sailing. Outside Lands 2015 was full of great music, acceptably warm weather and, best of all, lots of awesome new friends both from LA and San Francisco. While all the acts I saw were solid, nobody really stood out as mind blowing. The highlight of this festival really was all of the new people I met and the adventures we had together before, during and after the festival. And after all that’s what these weekends are all about, aren’t they? They’re about shaking up your routine, stepping out of your comfort zone and being open to whatever and whoever comes your way.
Note: I was having so enjoying living every moment that I ended up not taking that many photos. I apologize!
