Yesterday at Outside Lands was amazing; the weather was perfect all day, the music was fantastic and I was in an abundance of crew featuring many of my good friends for 100% of the day. It’s hard to do better than that, but we’ll all give it a shot with today’s third and final day of the festival. Tomorrow I hope a 7am flight to Chicago for three nights at UIC in Chicago, so holler if you’re out at the festival today or if you’re going to be at UIC. >>>
