& its all for the love of music

Every year, there are a lot of music festivals around my area. They range from rap, to rock, to electronic, to even country music. Having the job that I have, I have been able to go to these festivals. Although, sometimes I do not have a desired post, but I am still able to converse with the attendees and share a little bit of the excitement for live music. Last year was a big year for me in the Live music festivals area. I attended my first Coachella, and have been hooked for life. I was not able to attend EDC but got to make it out to Audiotistic. The year has barely started but I have in my possession (not literally because they still need to be mailed out) two tickets to great event. The first is the Skrillex show in LA. I am beyond stoked to see him a third time and witness his amazing power and love to share his music skills with us. I am also going with about the only person who is always down to go to these type of things and it's always a great time with him. The second ticket I bought, which just went on sale at noon today, is my EDC ticket!!! I'm not going to lie, I am a little scared since I put it on my credit card but everything has been working out so far and the concert season is going to start soon so I should have extra money. I am beyond stoked for this huge electronic festival. The company that I work for always does this festival, and I could have gone, worked, and been there, but there is always a risk that I would be stuck on a bad post and not enjoy the festival. I am happy, and there shall be no regrets. In about two to three weeks, Coachella tickets go on sale and you know I am getting one of those as well! Music is life in my mind. I know I will probably get told a lot by people that it was a dumb mistake, that I should not spend my money on these things, but money comes and goes. If i wouldn't have spent it on this, I would have spent it on something else. This experience, the memories I will have from them, no one can ever replace, or take them from me. I don't care what people say or think, When I am there, I know for a fact I will not be regretting this decision. Hearing all the love music, seeing all the love we all have and sharing it, well, that is just indescribable. I believe, unless you have gone and experienced one yourself, you can not really judge or say anything about them. Even some co workers who I hear talking shit on the festival goers, think they know because we "see it all", but they don't know shit. It is a different view when you are on the other side of the barricade. No worries in the world, nothing but love. The only people that can tell me it's not worth it, is the one who go to them as much as I do. I am not saying I am going to do this for the rest of my life, and spend all my money on them. I plan on playing a different role later in the future, and that is continue my love for it, and share with the world by being part of the people who make them happen. But till then, we are here now and that is where I have chosen to be. We only live once, and we are only this age once as well. Fuck it, let people talk and think whatever they want. It doesn't affect my decision. I have done it, and they haven't. I will be there and they will not. I will be happy, and well, I can't say if they will or won't be. That is up to the decisions they make. Have a great day. Peace and One Love.
