PEACH FEST 2012!
This past weekend, was literally the best weekend of my life. I've never had so much fun, ever! For those of you who don't know what Peach Fest is--Google it! LOL, no just kidding! It's a music festival featuring The Allman Brothers and a bunch of other bands that rock the house. I've been to small music festivals before, but nothing like this! It was in Scranton, Pa and was interesting to say the least.
We spend Thursday heading up there in a torrential downpour that had no mercy on our little mountain people in us. Half of us split up and found camp, while the other half of us stayed and waited for the next shuttle on the way to the hill. Montage mountain, is a ski resort. Imagine setting up camp, in a mud pit at a steep fucking incline. YUP, that was us! Thursday night and Friday morning was the worst of it though. It rained, but we were able to set up our tents by the short break the weather took. It poured in the morning, and slowly tapered off. Totally leaving the ground saturated around the ski slopes we were on, and thank God I packed my rain boots!
Let me tell you something about camping, you should always pack light. For the love of God. I only had two bags, but I had a total meltdown hiking the second time up the hill. I had three bags on me, and two lawn chairs strapped to my back and was ready to die. The air was muggy and thick, and considering I was a dumbass and forgot to have like a REAL meal that day--I immediately got the shakes and thought I was going to pass the fuck out! So there I was standing in the middle of the hill, with my head between my legs gasping for air. The girls went up and grabbed Neil for me, so he could help me out. These hippies came out of their camp next to me offering water and a paper towel. Not that I wasn't grateful, I just didn't want anyone in my face at the time of a meltdown! LOL shortly after that we made it back up the hill, and all was well!
The next three days were nothing short of incredibly amazing. What's not to like about being surrounded by your closest friends, good music and great weather?! The Allman Brothers were definitely incredible. I am so glad that I got to see them before I die! They're a total must go see! They put on one hell of a show! Zac Brown Band was equally as amazing and so were the Wailers! I still can't believe I was there!
This weekend was a game changer for me. It was amazing to just go somewhere and not care about anything but getting up and having a great time. No phone over the weekend, no family drama to deal with. Just sun and having a great time. We mastered the navigation around the mountain pretty well, so that we weren't hiking the hill at such a steep incline the entire time. I do have bruises all over my legs from chair sitting casualties people had on me, I think I'm the only one that didn't tip down the hill in a lawn chair! LOL either way, this weekend opened up my eyes to so many other possibilities in my life. Including piecing my broken heart back together finally. Things aren't as bad as they seem, and sometimes it just takes that spontaneous wave of feel good music to understand it.
