A few weekends ago I went to an amazing music festival at the Gorge near Seattle with the lovely Pamela. It was a beautiful summer day and it made me miss Washington so much. We got to see Beirut, The Fleet Foxes, The New Pornographers, Dave Bazan (but only from afar between New Porno's set), M.I.A. and Okkervil River. The best act by far was Okkervil River (you can kind of see them in the pic below).
They completely rocked out and the entire audience was jumping around and singing along. The National was supposed to play, but their bus broke down on the way to the festival so they had Rainn Wilson come and talk to the audience for a few minutes instead. During the concert, we sat behind this girl who spent the entire show digging in her boyfriend's face. I am not kidding, she was digging around his face while he was just casually talking about something. This went on for hours. They practically never sat up to see the acts....she just dug around for hours.
Pam and I took off before Modest Mouse and REM because we're not huge fans and we wanted to beat the traffic, which was a reallllllly good idea in the end because it started to rain and the scary-dark drive back to Seattle took about 3 hours. Overall, I had such a good time. I wish Seattle was closer!
