Festivals, from the other side... Posted on: 09.05.2013 by Ethel Feigum So my city is currently hosting a four-day rock festival...http://bottlerocknapavalley.com/lineup ...and it's literally across the street from my house! For the second day now I'm chillin' in my yard, drinking a beer and watching as THOUSANDS of people walk past my house into the event. Not to mention the amount of extra people out partying in our town! Absolutely crazy! I'll be off in a few hours to spin my second of five after-parties this weekend! Has anyone else here had any huge festivals descend on their home? We are a tourist town, but we've never had to deal with 30,000 people at once before. | |

Getting a free pass because I live across the street was pretty amazing, too. The after-parties and general evening life were crazy. At 10pm every evening the festival would let out and and the crowds descended on our little Downtown area. Every bar, restaurant, art gallery, etc.. got packed. Every dj and local band in town was playing somewhere. Napa has always had a reputation for having no evening life. No clubs, few bars. Up until recently there was even a "no dancing" ordinance for any business with live music that didn't have a (very expensive) Cabaret Licence! It was awesome to see my sleepy little town party it's ass off for a few days. |

| Lashawn Maycock 13.05.2013 | I live very close to where the Glastonbury Festival is held, so (almost) every year 125K+ revellers descend on a corner of Somerset, not including the artists and people working there. It is always amuses me, people who haven't got any idea about country side life visit from more urban areas and try to 'act' the part i.e. wellies (which haven't seen mud ever in their lifetime), drink cider (yeah, coz that's all we drink down here isn't it?! ; ) and bang on about how they love the countryside, but haven't got a clue about how it is run/managed. Any way I'm going again this year, it is an awesome festival |
| Ethel Feigum 11.05.2013 | Update: Bad Religion is playing in my front yard. Oh. Fuck. Yes. My after-parties have been pretty chill so far, got to meet artists Chuck Sperry and Zoltron! Oh, and soundcheck wakes me up at 9:30 every morning. |
