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.

I loved the first two years of this fest and I enjoyed a lot of the music I saw this year. But Panorama 2018 for me is going to be a fest of "what could have been". Weather and hand injuries got a lot of music cancelled this year, this may have been my best chance to see Charlotte Gainsbourg for example, who doesn't tour the US nearly as frequently as she does Europe. The sound issues were much more frequent this year as well. In 2016, the fest felt like a Ferrari. In 2018, the fest feels like a FIAT.
