Amazing.
I was just going tonight to hang and see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day.
My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started.
I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent.
Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. His voice is so pure and the music so beautiful and rhythmic. The crowd was such that gave you space and let you enjoy the music. I felt at home.
The next stage over was Kaskade which was a complete 180 from Bastille. The music was pumping and pretty fun but the environment... There were a bunch of very intoxicated teens stumbling around not even listening to the music. Alex and I couldn't even dance in one spot. Weirdos kept trying to talk to us and I just wanted a little bit of space!!
So, we went back and forth between the two stages. And once Bastille was done we hightailed it out of there. We heard a familiar song by Dirty Heads and then left. We met J-Dawg on the way out so all of us had a bike gang on the way home :)
Now it is WAAAAYYYYY past my sleepy time. Night y'all!
