Where else would you see Ludacris open for Lynyrd Skynyrd?

I’m still recovering from Bluesfest.


Despite being on crutches for my first few shifts, I had a fantastic time volunteering again this year.

Some highlights:

  1. Going backstage for The Dead Weather. Chris and I were within spitting distance of Jack White. So cool.
  2. Getting to see the big acts for free. Would I be willing to shell out for KISS concert tickets? Probably not. Was it an awesome show? Hell yes. Same goes for Stone Temple Pilots and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
  3. Scoring Gold Circle tickets for the last day. Being a volunteer sometimes comes with incredible perks like being this close to the stage for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
  4. Watching my favourite musicians and discovering new ones to love. I knew that Metric and Sam Roberts would rock but I was amazed by some shows I just stumbled into such as That 1 Guy.

Now that Axel is getting older he has strong opinions on things, like how his party should be, which can be a little challenging for me, but on the flip side he is able to help out with the preparations which is a lot of fun. This theme worked well for the skill levels of a preschooler since nebulas and starscapes don't need to be precise and actually look best a little messy. My little helper and I had a great time baking and decorating galaxy star sugar cookies and painting the photobooth backdrop. His pride in the projects was so heartwarming, I'm smiling just thinking of it.   We als
