Total Eclipse Music Festival


This one didn't work out as planned. The plan was to camp the whole weekend and enjoy the bands and the fun. From the beginning, things weren't lining up. For instance, we weren't allowed to drive our car down to the campsite to unload our items. This was fine until I started noticing others were allowed to do this. As it was, we walked back and forth multiple times to the parking lot to get our things. THEN, I went to purchase a special "space themed" snack. I ended up paying $2 for a fun sized candy bar. WTF! I had also paid a premium price for extras only to find the extras were some drink tickets, and we don't drink alcohol. The whole thing was a joke.



The weather was cool and the bands were cooler. After the bands, we go back to our tent to hunker down for a chilly night camping, and we find one of the sides of our airbed wasn't staying filled. We tried to patch it. At some point we tried sleeping, but with me rolling onto Dodger, we were both cold and hurting. We spent part of the night in the car turning it off and on to get warm. In the morning, I had had enough and we packed up and went home. We didn't even stay for the total eclipse. We did stop at a local diner on the way and had some yummy food. That was the best part of the trip, actually.


We came to see Sunshine Daydream, and Olivia wasn't even with them. Here's a little video mashup of the music I filmed including Modern Pasta, Easy Tiger, and Sunshine Daydream.
