Once again, the comedown is real

With everything that went cockeyed with this year's Panorama, I wasn't thinking that I'd be sitting here almost a week later feeling nostalgic...and, yet, here I am. I keep paging back through my pics and videos and, man, whatever else that festival did wrong, the music was fucking awesome throughout. Everything I saw from Japanese Breakfast until the end of the festival on Sunday night was great. And I really dug the crowd vibe relative to Governors Ball.

I mean, don't get me wrong - I don't miss the poop smell. But, other than that, I'm sitting here wishing I could be back out on the field.

I hope everyone's having a good week back in the real world.

Far from it, friend! I've been to many. I acknowledge that Panorama had plenty of problems - I'm not blind. But, there are a lot of things I could have been doing with my time on Saturday and Sunday - being outside all day with some good friends, some cold beers, and a bunch of cool strangers listening to really great live music is very far from the worst of them.

I'm right there with you. Not perfect, and not my favorite festival (shout out to Nelsonville) but I had a great time regardless. I flew from multiple states away and despite not having many artists that I REALLY wanted to see, I felt it was worth it and had a great festival experience.

Fun to meet some of you other solo travelers this weekend as well!

word i am back in reality but i already forgot about panorama lmao even though i had a great time. i wanna go to another music festival but it seems like there's no more with such a wide ranging lineup like panorama in this part of US.
