WE FEST

Well I just got back from We fest. For you who do not know of We Fest, it is a three day concert with all the big names in country music. 55,000 people were in attendance this year. I guess it was a new record. Everyone camps out in a giant field and pretty much gets drunk and act stupid. I fortunately got to camp with some not so stupid drunk people who think the only purpose in life is to get wasted and try to see boobs. So I had a good time. I left last Wednesday and then returned Sunday afternoon. Now lets get one thing straight I am not a fan of country. I am a rock girl through and through. I dislike country so much that when Jenn and I use to cruse around town in high school and college she automatically knew to turn off the country music and turn on some rock. So not being a country music fan I decided that I would try it and perhaps will come home like country. It didn’t happen. I watched… Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley. Nope none of them turned me. I enjoyed my self at the concerts but not for the music, more for the conversation and people watching. One of the highlights at the fest was who I was camping with. I camped with Jim and Ashley ( who are getting married this weekend and I’m in their wedding) and their family. We had about 30 people in our camp. They all had RV’s and parked them in a giant circle so no campers could penetrate our camp. Then we all stretched out in the little field we made with our circle. We had screen tents, cooking area, tables, chairs, canopies, yard games of every proportion. It was fabulous, but the best thing of all every camper or mini group took a meal. Either breakfast or dinner. We all took turns making only one meal. Ours was the first night we made lasagna for everyone and then the rest of the long weekend we got to enjoy everyone else’s. This was no crappy cheap camping food. This was the real deal… breakfast burritos, fajitas, jambalaya, egg bakes, roast beef sandwiches, chicken stir-fry. We even made a couple of amazing Waps (I don’t know how to spell it, tons of fruit soaking in booze). It was awesome never having to worry about a meal. Best idea ever. By sat I was ready to go home. It was sunny and 85 the whole weekend. I can’t complain it was nice and never any bugs and I didn’t get a sun burn thanks to my handy cowboy hat. I had an awesome time but wouldn’t go back. Next summer I am going to rock fest, which is just like we fest maybe a little smaller but not much. Then I will know all the words. It was definitely worth it though even though I am not a country girl. Well I just got back from We fest.
