The Summer Concert

Everyone loves a good concert, but I think the Summer ones are best--fewer worries, catching up with old friends, and great line-ups! Since it will most likely be very hot, I went with a relatively simple outfit--ballet flats for comfort (don't even think about sandals unless you want your toes to die from being trampled-on too much), a headband to keep your hair out of the way, and bangles (as many or as few as you want) as embellishment. Also, in these large crowds, I'd do my best to stick with using your pockets instead of a purse, so I chose a cute, breezy dress that's practical, too. Since the dress is pretty feminine, I upped the rocker-edge with a vest.

And most importantly:
(1) Don't forget your sunscreen. I speak from personal experience.
(2) If you want to be at the very front for your favorite band, you'd better get there way before (hence the comfortable shoes). And be prepared to deal with unpleasant people sweating all over you. Again, I speak from experience.
(3) All of that is totally worth it, especially on the off-chance someone comes down from the stage to the front of the crowd. :o)

In case you were wondering, the festival I went to was Sasquatch 2008. Ozomatli, M.I.A., Blue Scholars, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Death Cab for Cutie (!), The Hives (!!!)... Just to name some of my favorites. But my all time favorite: FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!!!
