The festival was a blast. This year the line-up didn't include many bands that I was initially interested in but I came to HSB with an open mind and a yearning to dance. Some highlights include Social Distortion and Build to Spill. Social Distortion was so much fun, everyone sang along to the classics and danced as the sun finally began to hide behind the trees and give us the much needed relief of shade.
Saturday night a friend and I embarked on a journey to a free Best Coast show that was held at the SOMA food truck park. We were equipped with two dead Iphones and a bag of wine. We somehow made it with the help of nice strangers giving us directions and letting us use their phones. We finally get there right before the band was supposed to start and there was about a two hour line to get in. Feeling frustrated by this, my friend Hayley walked past the entire line, walked up to the person administering the wristbands, and claimed she worked for Jansport, the company putting on the event. They quickly handed her 5 wristbands and we were let right in. After getting in we got food from the amazing food trucks there, got free beer there were giving out, and had a dance to some fun Best Coast tunes. If you get a chance to go to the SOMA StEat Food Park do it! It's so cute with awesome food, great for a date or a fun hangout with friends.
It was an amazing weekend with great friends and I cannot wait for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2015!
