Happy Fourth of July!

 American Girls

Happy Fourth of July, I hope everyone had an enjoyable day off filled with barbeques, cold beer, and fireworks. I spent today driving back from Electric Forest, and have been resting all evening trying to catch up on some sleep.

I photographed the two friends above, and the man below, during String Cheese Incident’s Sunday night show.

Electric Forest – Saturday

Me Maryhelen
Me Caitlin
Yesterday was an amazing day filled with tons of friends, laughter, and dancing. I continued my weekend ragefest with Maryhelen and her friend Stro, but also ran into a group of great friends from college. Caitlin and her friends Krishna and Brittany jumped up to say hi while I was walking through the crowd, and it was delightful to see some unexpected familiar faces! Below are just a few photos from yesterday. I don’t have time right now to upload all the pics I took, so the remainder will go up tomorrow.
Pretty Lights and EOTO tonight – can’t wait!
*No whining about my pigtails – it’s the only way to keep my hair under control in the festival environment!

Electric Forest – We’re Here!!!

My partner in crime, sister from another mista’, and all around best friend Maryhelen and I pulled into Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, Michigan, just an hour ago. We hit insane traffic leaving Chicago and a severe thunderstorm in Gary, Indiana that delayed our travels. We drove through the beautiful Northern Michigan pine forest and stopped at a Meijer to grab essential supplies. Six hours after leaving Chicago we finally arrived at the Double JJ Ranch.

After grabbing our media passes and unpacking the tent, we hit the festival grounds for a little “freak-style” hunting. Below are a few photos and one video that I just took within the past 30 minutes. Look forward to more updates throughout the weekend!
