Event: Free Press Summer Fest 2009

Big poppa and I went to the Free Press Summer Fest this year. We had several people sell out at the last minute so kudos to yall! You know who you are. Haha. When it wasn't scorching hot, it was cloudy, muggy and drizzly. Despite the weather, throngs of music devotees came out to enjoy the bands and other forms of mindless entertainment. Right when we walked in, we saw a bunch of folks running around with their whole bodies covered in paint. What in the world? Then we noticed people gathered along side a long, white plastic sheet that ran from the top of the hill to the bottom. A slip and slide! So whoever wanted to going sliding down would get hosed down at the top and paint would be spilt on the slip and slide and then off goes the human. Everyone cheered when someone was able to go all the way down while standing upright. We heard some good bands and some that were just plain bad that big poppa and I had to get up and leave. I can't remember any of the names though. Not good on my part! Overall, it was really cool and as much as I had wanted to just sit and relax, my aversion to pure dead heat kept big poppa and I on the move in search of some shade. There were lots of booths selling all sorts of hippy like items such as hula hoops and smoking paraphernalia. I really wanted to buy a t-shirt cos I love concert T's but I somehow managed to stop myself from doing so.
