a look from the inside of outside lands. wait, what?

confused? excellent, that means i have lured you into reading this blog entry. at least thats what my 6th grade english teacher would have said. i stated in my previous blog (if you haven't read it yet then just scroll and read below) that i would be attending outside lands and now that it is over my promised blog has begun writing itself from the tips of my fingers. basically outside lands is this:

3 days of awesome music comprised of many different bands in golden gate park in san francisco.

it happens every year and so i have been twice now. last year i was lame and only went one day. this year i went all 3 days and it was fantastic. the main reason for this is that john fogerty was there. if you are unaware of who this is, please excuse yourself from reading this and listen to at least one and a half credence clearwater revival songs. you obviously have access to the google so give it a shot. ok, now that we are all up to speed you understand why he was so awesome. he hasn't lost any talent in his singing and his guitar work is still clean and edgy with a twist of melodic pop. there were plenty of other awesome bands too such as the decemberists, the shins, foster the people, deadmau5, phish, stone foxes, clap your hands say yeah, black keys, MGMT, arcade fire, and arctic monkeys. and no thats not everything but those are some of the bigger names. again, if you require further exploration, you know what to do. also, spotify is awesome.

spotify is a music program that allows unlimited free streaming. it also has a social aspect where you can recommend music to one another. essentially, its great for learning new tunes and reconnecting with those friends of yours that you always shared new bands with.

side-note ending now, lets move back to outside lands. yet another reason the bay area is a wonderful land of magic and smiles. music, art, food, and wine, outside lands has something to offer for everyone. they don't allow frisbees (safety issue) but it still allows for a great time. theres a lot of people there and quite a few people from palmer attend this event. i hope to attend next year if the lineup is as good as it has been this year and the previous. you should come to palmer if you don't already, so i have someone cool to go with to outside lands next year! hey amanda and nichelle i hope you like my blog! and if you don't then just tell me its great anyway.
