Wakarusa 2008-Lawrence, Kansas

WOW...what an amazing opportunity this was! I just cannot say enough about how much fun I had shooting these bands and camping for THREE days!! :) Well, the first night in true Kansas tornado season fashion we got chased into Lawrence (Thanks, Emily!) but nights two and three were AWESOME! A little hot in my small tent but then that's to be expected!


I made some great new friends and learned alot too- for example:

  • Always have an air pump nearby...your air mattress WILL be flat by morning!

  • Garlic pepper french fries at 2 am (the bands play till 4 am) are quite yummy!

  • If you lay or sit in the grass to watch the bands at night watch out for flying beer :p

  • An ice cream cone on a hot, humid day....is an interesting feat to say the least!

  • Same goes for a sno cone........eat it quick as it turns straight to water!

  • Yummy campground french toast...it does actually work to eat it with your hands...load up the syrup and share with your friends!

  • Breakfast burritos the size of your head!!

  • Having your tent nearly blow over and thinking maybe the RV people have the right idea!

  • Seeing inside the RV's and realizing WOW they have their very own shower, air conditioning and yet they would rather be in tents because truly they are more fun!

  • You can ride a shuttle around to every campground and STILL not get a shower

  • Realizing that you were so busy taking pics of the bands that you forgot pics with your new friends.....send me your pics!

  • Friends who can see you first thing in the morning with no makeup, no place to shower, and can we say "listerine please" and still want to be around you=PRICELESS! :D

I had an amazing time and I will NEVER forget my first Wakarusa.....here's to many more!! :)
