Garage Fest was without a doubt, the most fun weekend getaway I've experienced in too long:
Seeing 2 chicks loose their marbles over Teenanger was so great, also Melissa's strap breaking and forcing her into a "real rock moment" was also so great. Danny Kroha is a great slow dancer FYI. Cabs do not exist at 4am in downtown Lawrence. House parties get crazy packed.
The Spits play a pre-festival show where everyone drinks pricey cognac because it's an open bar and Mick Collins is DJing. Greg Cartwright plays at an extensively cool record store. A dude in a wheelchair crowd surfs to the Oblivians. I miss Thee Oh Sees AND Human Eye because sometime around 8pm my body goes into cruise control and takes over, forcing me to spend 15 bucks on pasta and beer ( then my brain kicks in and I smuggled it out of the restaurant).
I borrow a few beers from The Greenhornes/ Raveonettes ( Thanks guys!!) and high five a girl who just peed behind a dumpster. There is a homeless man playing Nirvana covers and absolutely positively no convenience stores at all anywhere.
