The air was fresh, but the wind was frigid. We didn’t let that stop us from enjoying this once in a lifetime show… We arrived at Red Rocks around 2pm, and there was already a line forming. But we didn’t get there early to stand in line, we got there early to hike. It was … [Read more…]
Walking into Forecastle Festival, the sensory overload immediately hits you. The ground vibrating, the sculpture installations, it smelled like sunscreen and sweat. It’s held right on the riverfront in downtown Louisville, so the beautiful Ohio river is the backdrop for three out of the four stages – it was like the park was built for … [Read more…]
Ahhhh day three: The last day of Forecastle 2017. My feet were saying “finally” but my heart was saying “noooo it can’t be over!” But I walked into the festival excited, because today was the lineup of all lineups: Whitney, Charles Bradley, Foxygen, Conor Oberst, PJ Harvey, and Weezer. Unfortunately, Whitney had to cancel because … [Read more…]
Day two! Not nearly as hungover as I thought I’d be. We slept in a little, had mimosas and lunch at a local spot, then headed to the festival. Already, we could tell the weather was exceptionally better than yesterday. Although it was just as warm, there was no humidity today, and I don’t think … [Read more…]
Today was day one at Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky. The festival I dream about all year. This year is an especially awesome year, because it’s an anniversary year. Also adding an extra dash of special? This year my boyfriend and I are bringing two of our best friends to join us. (Pro tip: Festival … [Read more…]
I have a lot of irrational fears, one of which is flying. Even though I know planes are way safer than cars (or even walking!) I still get white knuckles on every flight. I know I’m not the only one with flight anxiety. So I’m hoping this post will help some of you deal with … [Read more…]
One of my favorite parts about music festivals is shopping for them. I remember my first festival, I decided to wear my knee-high suede moccasins. They are SO cute and screamed festival fashion. But, I did not think about how muddy music festivals can be, or how freaking HOT suede boots are. My legs were … [Read more…]
I am an active theatre lover. I grew up going to the theatre, I went on to go to a performing arts high school, and was a music major in college, now I work at a performing arts organization. I guess you can say theatre is kind of my life. As a frequent theatre goer … [Read more…]
Every time I get asked about my bucket list, of course I always think big; Paris, Mykonos, Moscow, and so on. But then I start thinking about all of the beautiful things in my own country that I haven’t seen yet. Which is silly, because it’s much easier—financially and logistically—to see all of those things … [Read more…]
Last week, we took my boyfriend’s dog, Zulu, camping with us for the first time. We spent the weekend in a beautiful cabin in Hocking Hills. While we thought we were prepared for everything, I quickly realized we’re NEVER prepared for anything unless we’ve done it before. Just because your dog is well-behaved at home, … [Read more…]
