Vegas was a blast! We had perfect weather for the festival both days this year which meant we were able to enjoy two full days of music and decide what bands we wanted to see which day – or both. My buddy was all about Pierce the Veil and Offspring while I still tried catching a bit of everything because I am a bit crazy that way. Haha! I totally loved both their faves but also “All Time Low” (even though they brought out Avril Lavigne who I am not so fond of at the moment lol), I adore Simple Plan and checked out their full set both nights – even though it was identical both nights. I also really enjoyed the Veronicas, Yellowcard, the Plain White T’s, Gym Class Heroes, Bowling for Soup, (those guys are funny as hell – lol). Ohh and speaking of funny – my favorite surprise unknown band was “Games We Play” – a great combination of funny and entertaining. (Hey Billie Eilish – If you are reading this – call him!) \ud83d\ude09 – LOL <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course – the headliners were amazing – I have always liked Blink 182 – Travis Barker is an amazing drummer and I am glad they finally put out a new record after so long. Green Day is a classic of course but to be honest by the time they came on both nights I was a bit shot and headed back to my room where I could still hear them until almost midnight! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a ridiculous amount of walking and bopping between stages to try and see as much as possible. But sadly we did not get to do as much sightseeing in Vegas as I would have liked because my buddy was pretty exhausted from the long days. I was tired – but masochistic and excited enough to want to take in even more. All told in my 5 days in Vegas including my travel days where I spent most of it on my butt on a flight I racked up almost 131k steps or 61 miles! So – yeah I am happy to rest my feet a little this week. That said – I cannot WAIT to see next years line up because I am pretty sure this will be my go to festival from now on! I love the line ups, the fairgrounds including real brick and mortar bathrooms – not port-a-potties, the proximity of hotels to the event, the fact they are other things to see and do in the area – yeah over all it is really well done. Sign me up! Here is video footage of the fairgrounds<\/a> set up and ready to go and one of the crowd at the main stage<\/a> at night. Yes – it was pretty crazy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not get as many pics as you would have probably expected because I didn’t fight my way to the front and well – my camera phone sucks – lol but I did take a few. Here’s a sampling including a half dozen selfies with my new pink and purple hair! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
