Like Jazzfest in the fog
Delayed post here about our recent attendance at SF’s now annual Outsidelands music festival. Or really, music/art/food/wine festival. If you love music festivals and hate sun and sweat, this is the place for you. We enjoyed Homeroom Mac’n'cheese, Ritual Roaster coffee, Candybar delights and several bands on a lovely cool, foggy and eventually freezing day. I learned that Wheezer still has a strong pull over the young people today. We were literally hiking thru the masses on the way from Foster the People to catch some MGMT, and the distant sounds of Foster playing an encore cover of “Say It Ain’t So” was enough to evoke spontaneous chanting/singing of the chorus among the hikers … “Your druuuug is a heartbreakaaaah!!!”

you know it's a SF music festival when...
... not to mention the wine tent
new this year-- chocolate forest
It’s a very green festival, with paid workers to monitor the trash receptacles and assist you in choosing the correct can (Trash? Recycling? Compost?) for all your trash:
are flip-flops compostable? hmm.. no.

Unlike a certain NOLA music festival, after a fun day instead of wanting to beeline it for the closest shower, we were able to enjoy a late night stroll home thru the park.

Sounds perfect. Love the Prius Playground–only in S.F. Favorite for me: cool, freezing, chocolate forest, candy bar, walk home. Oh, and I’m sure the music was good, too. :)
PS ~ Do the flip flops wear out due to the dancing to the beat?

So were Foster any good? Or are they strictly a OHW?

Nicole: I liked their whole album/CD/download collection. Definitely more than just the one song.
