Going out ?

Me just when they stand right next to me. From the right distance (no, not talking miles here )/with the right volume it can be very enjoyable and even touching!

 

Festivals that do not have (enough) places to sit down or catch some shade are not properly organized

 

I do get out, but there is no place like I described here....only a steak house is sort of this way with a bar and saw dust. The place I described is in LA. It was an awesome place and huge....
am glad you had a goodnight out there, Molly....and my real life person is much better than my online one....

 

Awesome! I hope you all have a good time.

 

I randomly decided to go out to my favorite hometown bar last night. I met a little group of body builders while out, and spent my night sipping on drinks they purchased for me and feeling their muscles.

 

yeah, every festival i've been to has had plenty of shaded areas. usually there is wooded camping areas, so you're tent is in the shade too.

and for the music, i could always sit down if i wanted to..it might just have to be in the grass.

 

Here I go out alot to eat, to real concerts, house parties...the usual....

 

Summer festivals are great!

 

It would have been fun to beam us all up, Scotty, for a fun night out last night. We could have all really gotten to know each other. ...this was what I was talking about ....

 

I've never heard dessertery! Wow. You learn something new.

 

It wouldn't work out.

 

Yeah, I thought maybe you guys used the French word patisserie.

 

Big problem around here.

Not in the South, except maybe around New Orleans. Not sure about that.

 

Can I buy you a drink?

 

Whatever happened to me being on your ignore list?

 

Probably not....oh, well.....

 

It was a cool thought :2thumbsup:

 

I return anually to one festival that is bad organized in this way. It gets either roaring hot or retardedly wet. The camping is usually on a mowed grain/corn field, so dusty as fuck when it was dry and hot and you'll bath in the mud when it has rained. Still, it is one of my favourite festivals (otherwise I wouldn't travel to it every year ) :biggrin:
I have requested pics of this fest made by a friend last summer so I can show a recent pic of myself! :cheers2:

 

New Orleans has the best arrangements for finding great live music whenever you want it. Any night of the week, you walk down Bourbon Street and pick the band you want, sampling before you pay any money. There are too many bars to count. Nearly all have their stages up front, and the doors are open. It's loud out in the street. You get a drink to carry with you, check out all your options, pick your favorite band, and go inside. No cover charges, one drink per set minimum. A lot of the bands suck, but it isn't hard to find two or three good ones.

Memphis and Nashville work in a similar way, but they have a lot fewer options. Nashville only has three that play live music that isn't country. In Memphis, it's more like seven or eight.

Atlanta and Miami have their clubs more spread out. It isn't practical to drive around and compare.

I haven't been to Austin, so I don't know how it works there.

Of all the music festivals in the South, probably the biggest and most famous is JazzFest in New Orleans. I've never gone to it, and I probably never will. It's out at the city fairgrounds, where there isn't a tree in sight. No roof anywhere but over the stage. Nowhere close to any pretty, historic areas. I've seen video footage of thousands crowded close together, in the baking hot sun and high humidity. It looks totally miserable, and very typical of other music festivals in the South. If a thunderstorm hit with lightning and high winds, where would they all go? I can find more civilized ways to hear great music.

I don't hold grudges for life.

 

OK, the place I went to was in L.A., CA...I will ask my old roommate what the place was called next time I talk to her. I never forgot that place, and what a place!
