California!

Here are the photos from the trip to California to see Phish at Festival 8...a three day, camp there, Festival where Phish played 8 shows. One of which was their famous "costume" set on Halloween night where they covered The Rolling Stones entire "Exile on Main St." album. The Sunday Morning set was entirely acoustic(a first for Phish) and it was incredible! There were 30,000 people there,we met some very nice people. The venue in Indio CA was huge, it was a 3/4's of a mile walk from our campsite to the stage area. Overall it was GR8 FUN and an amazing experience, Phish really went all out to make it awesome in tons and tons of ways. Click below to some of the photos I took...

Here's Crystal Cove....
In L.A. we went to The Getty, a HUGE art museum built on a hill like a castle. It was a beautiful place with fountains, gardens and tons of great art. I could have spent days there. We also went down to Hollywood Blvd that night, saw some sights and went to Ripley's Museum. We also happened upon a movie opening that night at the Chinese Theatre. Mm-oh boy. That night we drove out to Calico near Yermo and stayed in a ghost town there. Then headed home the next day. All in all an awesome trip!

WOW! What a party! I'm amazed by 30,000. It looks like there was a lot to see and hear and the weather was wonderful. Was that a sunburned face? Halloween 2009 will be one for the memory books. Disneyland (I love Leslie in the Dopey hat) looked fun and the cove (awesome sunset and starfish shots and I love you in the shawl and patchwork skirt on the beach, looks like it belongs in the Anthropologie Catalogue) and the getty and the ghost town. Thanks for sharing the many great photos. Now you just need a week to recover from the non-stop fun, huh?!
