Friday night I shook my money-maker with friends at Girl Talk in Perry's Tent. It was nothing but a shoulder to shoulder crowded mess of people dancing and singing in sweat and heat. Amazing.
This night ended on a walk to get out of the crowd with nearly 60,000 people filling in the streets.
Saturday began with one of my favorites - Phantogram. I saw them previously at Lincoln Hall earlier this year with a live drummer and it's since been one of my favorite live shows. Also on Saturday was Mayer Hawthorne, Fitz and the Tantrums, Local Natives (yay!), Death From Above, Ellie Goulding, and My Morning Jacket.
Sunday - though the line-up wasn't quite as exciting, was by far my favorite day of the festival. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. stole the day early on with a great set. We Almost Lost Detroit & their cover of Higher Love stole the crowd's heart. This was immediately followed by a quick peek at The Cars and then we moved it back to Perry's for some Dubstep dancing.
Not a dry shirt in the festival.
Fields filled with mud.
People running around barefoot.
My boots filled with water.
Arctic Monkies.
Explosions in the Sky.
Foo Fighters.
The sky turned an angry and gorgeous brown, and before we had time to think "looks like rain..." it started pouring again.
An so it was like I said: my 3-day Lolla adventure came to a close on a movie-like muddy and rainy Sunday night as I ran through a field of mud and water in the pouring rain holding hands with two lovely new lady friends. And in the middle of all of this running/rain/mud, everything turned to slow motion as Foo Fighters had began playing "Hero."
And scene.
