Extremely Fun
At times everyone gets a little sick and tired of the “normal” daily life, tired of the ongoing work day after day, tired of people talking about the same things (how to get pregnant is my pet peeve). We all have times when we think that we truly need a few weeks or a few days to set yourself free. During my first job in a western restaurant I found that most staff didn't or couldn’t keep it up with the pressure, I was there three years and not a month went by without at least a few quitting, by the end there was only a few comrades left. After working there for so long I realized that though I didn’t NEED to quit from the pressure but that my life and this job had become too boring, there were no longer any surprises, and so I made up my mind to quit this job and make a change.
This summer a bunch of my friends left or are about to leave, and although I know we had a lot of fun when we were together as they all leave the same feelings from all those years ago return, I'm not sure if I’m getting tired of or if once again there needs to be a change.
One of my friends in high school used to say “friends are like milestones in your life, everyone moving in different directions”. This always made me sad and confused, but it lately is has also got me thinking, how can I make encounters more memorable? Right away I thought about going to a music festival or something else as unique and memorable, basically just have a wild time in my own way.
With a music festival or other special event, people usually put on eye-catching attire, charming make up, or even unique costumes and masks. Some famous actresses and super models are trend setters in music festival etiquette, both in and out of festivals and daily dress. Kate Moss once made rubber boots stylish, and later that brand made a see-through version so you can put on colorful socks and really make your rainy day bright and cheery.
Keywords for August festival fashion: polka dolt umbrella, rubber boots, ripped jeans, boyfriend shirt, gypsy, bizarre, graffiti, sexy, straw plaiting hat, lace top...all elements composed in different materials, exaggerate and move out into the fringe, you'll feel more free and break out of tediousness reality.
And for those who are leaving our fair city here's some basic information of very hot Music Festivals around the world:
Glastonbury Festival-It is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world and a template for all the festivals that have come after it.
The Festival takes place in a beautiful location - 900 acres in the Vale of Avalon, an area steeped in symbolism, mythology and religious traditions dating back many hundreds of years. It's where King Arthur may be buried, where Joseph of Arimathea is said to have walked, where leylines converge. And the site is ENORMOUS - more than a mile and a half across, with a perimeter of about eight and a half miles.
Coachella-It is a three-day (formerly a one or two-day) annual music and arts festival, organized by Goldenvoice (a subsidiary of AEG Live) and held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio,California, in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley.
Pitchfork Music Festival-The Pitchfork Music Festival is a three-day event showcasing over 40 of independent music’s best bands and artists on three stages.
Location-1501 West Randolph in Chicago’s Union Park at the corner of Ashland and Lake.
Lollapalooza-Lollapalaooza has come a long way, but one thing stays constant: the festival is for the fans. With that in mind, Lollapalooza now calls the legendary city of Chicago home, having put down roots in the gorgeous greenspaces of Grant Park in 2005.
As the festival has grown up, it's also grown out -- now spanning over 115 acres, multiple stages, and a ever-more diverse array of 130+ artists from hip-hop, electronica, reggae, indie, rock, modern roots, and many more.
