FYF

Okay so I just got home from the achingly painful festival FYF (FUCK YEAH FEST)... let's just say that by the end of it (or towards the end of it) we thought it was more along the lines of "FUCK MY LIFE FEST" or "FUCK OUR LIVES FEST". Anyway... all of this is not to say that the day was bad... it was actually a ton of fun. What made it almost unbearable is the fact that everyone who I ended up spending most of my time with were pretty underprepared. Everyone was literally on different levels through out the entire day... everything was just crazy.

Things that made it not so enjoyable:

1. HOT AS HELL (90+ degrees) from 11am-6pm
2. NO WATER
3. EXPENSIVE WATER (small bottle $4)... unless of course you are Michelle and steals them or Kyle and hassles little boys for half price.
4. NO TREES. (what the heck kind of historic park doesn't have a single tree in sight?!?!
5. LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES... EVERYWHERE!
6. CRAZY LADY COMPLAINING ABOUT ANGIE AND KYLE "CUTTING" HER IN LINE... EXCUSE ME, THE CROWD... okay really?... no seriously?... do you even know what kind of environment you are in right now? Do you even understand that it is nearly impossible to be "cut" when you are already in the back of the crowd? Hmm.
7. SLEEP--> I literally wished I was put to sleep with a tranquilizer. It didn't help being arms length away from the (80+) speakers they had on stage. UNnecessary. It also blew my mind that the entire HOUR of them playing, it turned out to be only THREE songs... or whatever you want to call their music.
8. MY EARS ARE STILL RINGING 6 HOURS LATER (no joke)
9. CRAPPY FOOD- I waited in line from 6pm-7pm for a measly little crepe filled with cold cheese, spinach and mushrooms. Ultimate fail, and most regrettable moment of the night. Oh yeah it was $8.
10. PORTIPOTTY ('nuff said)
11. LOSING MY FRIENDS (a few times)
12. VIBRATIONS- when sleep played, I felt like I was going to die. The vibrations from the amps were SO unbelievably loud that I felt like I was going to throw up. I could feel every part of me just jumping out every second. It literally made it hard for me to breath. (no exaggerations either).

Things that made it so enjoyable, I'm just going to forget about the list above:

1. FRIENDS (I was with most of my crew along side a few others most of the day)
2. Kyle buying waters for us and michelle stealing it.
3. Ryan Gossling's band (amazing by the way... who knew he had musical talent, and some nice chops!! umm, plus he's SO CUTE)... PLUS the mini choir of tater-tots he had on stage... adorable.
4. Running into more friendly faces, and my coworker Cassie =]
5. Leaving the front of the crowd after Sleep played... thank god
6. Pretending to be soooooooo into Sleep and showing it by head banging uncontrollably while plugging our ears. (try it, it's awkward and hilarious)
7. Telling that stupid ass hole lady (she really was) that she looked like a fool making a big scene in front of this audience for no reason.
8. PANDA BEARRRRRRRRRR
9. FOOD
10. SLEEP (sike, not the band)
