After this weekend, I feel I've learned something about evolution, or at the very least, about my ability to adapt to new environments. Once I accepted the fact that I could not shower for three days in a row, I found comfort with each progressive layer of dirt, sweat, and bug repellent building on my skin if only for its ability to keep swarming mosquitoes away. But this festival was not about the dirt or the bugs, it was about enjoying music outside and away from cell phone towers.
Admittedly, this point was mostly lost on me as I spent more time at the coffee shop in town or in Nic's tent than I did in front of or behind the stage. Despite this self-made seclusion, I still managed to hear several incredible artists, two of whom I recommend below.
