american apparel dress, aldo sandals and necklace from a wburg street vendor
This is one of those outfits that it is hard to get a head to toe picture of. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about. It's too stripey and too long to look good on camera. So i give you the outfit in pictures for you to piece together. Lazy blogging? perhaps.
In case anyone was interested, Northside was a pretty awesome experience. On thursday we saw Xray eyeballs and the Kholes at shea stadium. We also walked out on the Atlas Sound showcase at St. Cecilias. I don't know why i thought a church would make a good venue. We saw this god awful guy who i won't embarrass by mentioning his stage name. Heineken was the sponsor of the festival so they were the only beer available. We couldn't drink inside the church so if you wanted to drink your disgusting beer you had to walk outside. It pretty much sucked.
On friday we say Sharon Von Etten at the McCarren outdoor shows. She was so sweet and amazing live. The stage was kind of shitty. That's only my opinion but the concrete softball field hardly made a good spot for an outdoor show. We didn't stay to see Beirut. The best show was at the Knitting Factory. Xray eye balls were present. again. Surfer Blood was at the end and they rocked.
Saturday was spent at the outdoor show with Wavves , Surfer Blood and The Babies. We didn't stay to see Guided By Voices because i was majorly hung over and needed to get out of the sun. Courtney Love supposedly made an appearance that day. Then we saw Xray Eye Balls yet again at Union Pool. We also saw Wovven Bones and they kind of weren't that good. I don't think i'll listen to them anymore.
Overall, the festival was awesome I'll remember all the drinks i bought legally, the drugged up banter of Xray Eye Balls' lead guitarist and their female vocalist who wore the same outfit three days in a row! My boyfriend throwing himself into a pit of men at the Knitting Factory, frozen Margaritas and tequila shots at San Loco: Best time ever.
We quit sunday night, excessive drinking to blame.
Finals have swallowed me whole .While everyone is out gallivanting , i'm stuck with finals because my school ends 3 weeks after all the others. Nice. Here is my inspiration these last days.
