Sunset, Fullmoon

How was your weekend? Good? Bad? Sweaty like mine perhaps! On Friday I received a message from my friend, TK, asking me if I would like to go to the Music Fest on Saturday. She had won free tickets. Since I didn't have any plans I said Sure! I was a little hesitant since the major headliners were Backstreet boys, Macy Gray and Brett Michaels. I am mostly a fan of Rap, R&B and anything pretty (and a little country). I figured I would know at least 1 or 2 Backstreet Boys songs and at least 1 from Brett Michaels. The Festival was packed with Thousands and Thousands of people. To top it off it was HOT! I mean really HOT! Like the kind of hot when you just want to find some shade, a cool drink and a fan because you are sticky from sweat. I had a fantastic time with TK and a few new friends. Brett Michaels performed for a while and you can tell that his near death experience has allowed him to embrace life with a new passion! But I got to do a lot of people watching that was very entertaining (seriously with it being that hot outside and people wearing clothes that were not appropriate, or didn't fit or out of date- you get the picture). They had around 3 stages set up for smaller acts. I particularly enjoyed a performance from an American Idol contestant who sang a little Mint Condition. There were vendors set up all over the place with all of the traditional fair foods. The ladies split a fantastic funnel cake and I am sure the only reason it tasted so yummy was because we had to wait in line. The fact that TK had won free tickets meant nothing. No one ever checked tickets and because of this there was so much chaos and shoving and pushing trying to get closer to the stage. This was the first time that they had the Music Fest so I hope they do a better in the planning department for next year. When we were leaving we walked by the river and saw a fantastic Full Moon. And I assure you that after a day full of sun and sweat, the moon was a breath of fresh air.
