We left around one, and i was wayy worried i was going to miss Sondre Lerche since he was the only other reason i would go to yet another festival. Don't get me wrong i love brand new but it's becoming way more about my atmosphere than catching a band i've seen a gazillion times over.
So anyways the ride over was nice, barely any traffic some good conversation and a million laughs.We got there to a sea of cars luckily we had v.i.p. parking thanks to annel so when we entered Luis let me know there was 15 min. left of Sondre's set so we rushed over there in time to hear one song then a melody of two way monologue and sleep on needles...it made my day for sure . Unfortunately i missed out on all the witty banter that goes on in between his sets. It was a wonderful view though his little small stage was on top of the lawn and the sun was right behind him . Then i decided it was alcohol time , we got some beers then headed down to see the album leaf. I seriously fell in love with them again...sometimes i forget bands exist if i don't hear about them all the time ...they sort of slowly get forgotten about on my ipod but now i will start listening to the album leaf again.
I guess Luis was doing some major scouting cuz he found a photobooth for us at the captain morgan tent, we headed over there after the album leaf and basically invaded that poor booth. If anyone knows me they know that i am OBSESSED with photobooths ...of any kind so we did that for awhile. I went on a hunt with annel for a margarita then we watched clap your hands say yeah. They played that great song "satan satan SAY DANCE" ..it reminded me of roxanne and her crazy religious stories and how we would dedicate that song to her all the time at work..
Then we got in place for brand new which was really really enjoyable . The crowd was tame but not lame (eeeyoooo that rhymed) they played a wonderful set. I had room to dance and sing with my friends it was all very lovely , all except the joke of there last show being in hawaii this weekend..(if it was a joke? i hope it was) After i recovered from the awesomeness of them ..i realized i wasnt feeling to well brushed it off headed BACK to the captain morgan tent but found the "rave tent" on the way ... We all went inside and jumped around and danced like idiots . Then i "challenged" this one raver ..glowsticks in hand and all ...and i think i won if i do say so myself. Artic Monkeys were on and i fucking love there new cd so i HAD to hear it live ..their stage presence sucks but the music speaks volumes and i know that if i was not sick and a little bit more into them i would of enjoyed it more. We were waiting for the killers to come on because well we werent going to leave without seeing them i guess its a thing ya know..then derrick called and came by to say hi for a bit which is always nice to see that boy ....the killers came on and we were very unimpressed...too much gold..too much confettii...just too much of everything. We left 3 songs into it and headed to sombrero's mexican food..so we thought! We got directions from 3 different sources all telling us to get on junction 94 west exit 1b4 broadway/30th st. a street me and my friends now dont believe exist ..after 40 min of exiting..and entering random freeways and streets..we decided to hit up the only mexican food we can find some place called saronga..(sp?) where a drunk girl begged us to let her cut in line because she just got dumped and needed to soak her sorrows in a burrito..then this drunk bitch kept calling Luis her pioneer because he ordered a breakfast burrito. um ok? this is why san diego is weird.... we got out of there ASAP and drove home listening to everything from saves the day to the first brand new album to help shadi sing and stay awake..sometimes on nights like these i think im the luckiest person in the world.
