Stagecoach Festival
I can not believe I have not blogged in this long! I guess I have been a busy girl! The days are not long enough anymore!
I didn't win the photo contest...came in third place but thanks to everyone who helped me out by voting!!!
I had the opportunity to go to the Stagecoach Festival in Indio California (right outside of Palm Springs) this weekend. It was a woodstock-like festival with an incredible line-up of country stars...young and old.
Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Alan Jackson, and George Strait were part of the lineup that I didn't get to see.
I got to see Kenney Chesney, Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland, Gary Allen, Jason Aldean, Pat Green and Carolyn Dawn Johnson. Each one of them played for about an hour and was a once in a lifetime event!
There was an eclectic group of people who attended and I think the people watching was the best!
There was:
- a girl who looked like a Nicole Richie wanna be with a fake orange tan that was applied really badly who wore knee high UGG boots in the 90 degree heat
-plenty of skin with a multitude of tattoos and messages written all over their body.
-hysterical tshirts such as, "Hi...you'll do" or "The trailer park called...they want their trash back" or "My Give a Damn's busted" and many many more...
-Grandpas and Grandmas with young grandchildren
-Hot cowboys
-Not so Hot cowboys
-My sister thinks that a woman who sat behind us was a star on HBO's show about a bordello in Las Vegas (I am not sure of the name of the show!)...Anyone know of All American Amy?????
-People for as far as you can see enjoying country music in the desert.
It was so cool!!! I have posted a few pics to show you how cool the venue was and how many people attended...the pictures don't even begin to show how many people were truly there.
I believe the estimate was 50,000 people and there were never any lines for the mixed drinks/ beer or the bathrooms (and yes...we visited both plenty of times throughout the day!!!) and the shows went off on time and everything was perfect!!!
This was the first festival of it's kind in SoCal and hopefully not the last!!!
Enjoy!!
