COASTLINE FESTIVAL 2013

So I'm officially the worst blogger ever for not taking more photos/videos of this day. But honestly it's so hard to whip out your camera sometimes when you're having such an amazing time and you're trying to enjoy it.

So basically if you don't know what Coastline is, it's a new music festival held in Tampa and West Palm Beach, Florida. This is probably the only music 'festival' we get besides 97x's The Next Big Thing and Warped Tour. Bunch of alternative and indie bands/food trucks/crafts/and beer. A whole bunch of fun.

Coastline had two stages for bands, which was surprising since none of them were playing at the same time. Show started at 12 in the afternoon and ended some time after 10 in the evening. We left before that though because if anything else happened to us we might have just died on the spot. Plus we were really tired/hungry/shocked/inspired/a mix of emotions.

All the bands that played were absolutely fantastic but Andria and I predominantly went for the Neighbourhood, and their set was about halfway through the show on the second stage, or the Gulf stage. And we actually got to meet them! Twice actually. Coastline was nice enough to have an autograph tent for the majority of the bands. We were actually the last to meet them/the cut off point ( Thank goodness for Andria's luck ) because the line was so incredibly long and they were about to be late to their set. You always picture how you're going to meet someone you look up to/adore and when you actually get the chance it doesn't go as planned. I was so quiet, I just handed them my CD and had them sign it. It was so embarrassing lol. I'm such a goober. We met Jesse and Zach again briefly when Jesse came over and complimented our blanket we made ( So nice !!!! )  They're all so sweet, hopefully I get to meet them/see them again sometime soon so I can redeem myself.

But yeah, sorry for the lack of pictures/content. It was honestly one of the best days I've had in a really, really long time, I was just trying to soak it all in. And I just felt so incredibly inspired and alive the whole time. So amazing what music can do for you/to do.

I also actually got to enter to win tickets to next year's show so fingers crossed!
