I met Danny at the airport (me coming back from Powell/Vegas and he coming in from Chicago), and off we went! We were both, separately, out way too late the night before but, if we didn't stop for a nap, we could still catch most of the performers on Friday -- which was the start to a very sweet, emotional, and ambitious weekend.
To be honest, the festival was kind of a blur (mostly due to borderline exhaustion, a few too many sips of beer, and a put put game in the middle of the festival that included a wine tasting.). We went to all three days and saw so much music. Here are the ones I remember in no particular order:
Beck
Janet Jackson
Future
Janel Monae
Jaime xx
Saltnpepa
Portugal. The Man
N.E.R.D.
Odesza
Big Gigantic
Knox Fortune
Beyond that, we did sleep a bit and had a few nice brunches, my favorite being Outerlands, for which I had a gift certificate, and for which the idea of actually kicked off Danny's extended stay last summer and our first Outside Lands.
Outerlands describes itself as "Locally sourced, organic fare served in a warm, handcrafted setting." The atmosphere is casual and classy, the food delicious, but the chairs left splinters in my legs. Say no to wicker!
