Kris + Kari: LIB Festival

Oh man!! This was so fun

Some highlights --

** Alabama Shakes-- I wasn't sure I knew them. I just was OK going because they performed before Imagine Dragons and thought it would be good to go early. We loved Alabama Shakes, and loved we were there early for Imagine Dragons..

Resting my feet while waiting for ID..

** Imagine Dragons.. I saw them a long long time ago. They had a free show, it was at Palace Station or Sunset Station or somewhere like that.. It was fun, they were good. They also performed at a Zappos Vendor Party years ago.. BUT this time, it was so much better. It was downtown Las Vegas, where they started, and they had Cirq performers come on stage during their final song Radioactive.

I went to middle school with Dan. We stayed in touch (well, via FB..) - but haven't talked for a few years. I know I have a picture with him, but cannot find it. I didn't look that hard.

**I missed Nico Vega the first day and was so bummed! I can go into this big long reason why, but it will probably upset me... I "liked" them on Facebook, and saw they posted "If you missed us you have another chance". They had this little jam session in a tent set up at the festival. I was 5 feet away from them. There was one song that I did not know the words to, not even one word, but I was trying to sing along... I wish I could have seen myself.. haha :)

**Saw a little Childish Gambino-- Vampire Weekend -- ZZ Ward -- Michael Jackson ONE cirq performers

** Rode a Ferris Wheel

** Ate lots of food -- Vegan "cheesecake" , Mexican Corn from Nacho Daddy, Lobster Mac n Cheese, and a meatball are the ones I remember

** Got a massage- for free

** THEN... The Killers. Man-- I really like The Killers, and like listening to them on the radio or from my phone. They were SO GOOD live.... I like them even more now. I said "i hope they play Mr. Brightside" then they come out and open with it! I loved when they covered Viva Las Vegas.

So they left the stage...wanting an Encore...and while people were cheering and yelling for them, they never performed "When we Were Young" -- So everyone knew they would come back.
