Traveling in the Kia works. It’s certainly a very different trip than we would have had with Anne Marie, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It is an expensive thing though, and even though we’ve never paid for lodging, costs stack up.
Wakarusa was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed their time there. It was hot, and humid, but it was excellent. Bonnaroo was hot, and dusty, and less excellent. There was very little about Bonnaroo that I enjoyed. The sole redeeming aspect of Bonnaroo was the group of people we worked with. They were fun, and made the festival enjoyable.
We’ve been in Chicago for about a week now, after a brief stay in Memphis. We’re moving on to Electric Forest this week – our last festival before returning for a pit stop in CT. People have been nothing but good to us this whole trip, but I don’t feel any sense of serendipity. I don’t know how to explain that further, but it’s something I’ve been missing on this trip. It makes it feel less like an adventure and more like a vacation.
Electric Forest should be a nice break. It looks like it will be a smaller festival with cooler weather, and plenty of trees. I’m looking forward to it, but I’m honestly looking forward to being back in Middletown more.
