You don’t sing happy birthday at your own birthday party. Just like you don’t sing “for he’s a jolly good fellow” at your own promotion or whatever. So why would The National sing Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks at their own music festival? Instead, the audience took over, switching roles and serenading the band instead. We all … [Read more…]
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.

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…]
Last week, my boyfriend and I celebrated our two year anniversary (yay!). With Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and our anniversary all within a couple months of each other, we decided to combine them all for one getaway weekend in a beautiful cabin in the Hocking Hills. To make it a little more interesting, we decided to … [Read more…]
When my boyfriend and I travel together, we always surprise each other with one thing. When we went to California (Joshua Tree and San Diego), I surprised him with renting a wave runner for the San Diego Bay. My boyfriend surprised me with upgrading our rental car to a Jeep Wrangler so we could go … [Read more…]
October 2015 was my first experience in Joshua Tree. I was excited to escape Ohio’s grey, cold, rainy days. Our first day, after dropping off our bags, drove straight to Joshua Tree National Park – we didn’t want to waste ANY time! Once we arrived, we parked on the side of the main road, and … [Read more…]
