![[memories] Outside Lands 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4457945_lg.jpg)
It's been three plus days since Outside Lands came to an end and i've needed every minute of it to fully recover. This was my first legitimate music festival and it was a lot to take in. With that said, I would do it all over again this weekend if I could. I had so much fun last weekend, not even the total lack of sleep, the nightly struggles of finding my way home, the $9 beers, or the bird that shat in my eye Friday night will keep me [...]
In all my years as a festie, I've never been to a festival where gloves seemed like a perfectly sound idea. But San Francisco defies the logic of California (as comedian Marcus Monroe put it, "It's summer, so tell your fucking city that"), with cool days and downright cold evenings. Still, the City by the Bay plays one hell of a host. Coming from Boston, the honest politeness of the people here was shockingly apparent from the moment I stepped onto the BART. With sunny skies above, it was a warm welcome to the weekend ahead. Of course, [...]

All photos by Rukes, rukes.com The most anticipated Los Angeles event of summer occurred last weekend, HARD Summer and we are going to give the lowdown if you happen to miss the epic event. Friday was rough. The Magnetic team arrived there later in the night due to complications at the will-call/media check-in window. Expecting a smooth check-in process—as normal—we arrived at the HARD check-in window that was located at the Sheraton about 10-minutes away from the actual venue. Many people experience confusion about this, they would arrive at the festival grounds [...]

HARD SUMMER 2012 is now two-days of music poppin’ off right in the middle of downtown LA!
Though it began as a one day festival , Hard Summer is now capitalizing on the growth of EDM and has expanded to two days. The festivities are set to go down August 3rd and 4th at LA State Historic Park in Downtown Los Angeles. The lineup is pretty impressive but many newcomers may disagree. Hard isn't your average festival as artists range from heavy dub to indie, and it includes Skrillex, Bloc Party, Miike Snow, Bloody Beetroots, A-Trak, Magnetic Man, Zedd, and many more. If you're looking for something a little more adventurous, tickets for the two day festival are [...]
