JADATO: music festival

Readers!

OMG. I have so many new posts coming soon; thanks for those that are still following my blog. I am still trying to get into a better rhythm on posting more often plus adding enough quantity. I just wanted to do a throwback to #boulevardia last year! I plan to attend this weekend too, so I'll post more pictures soon! (You can tell this was last year because my hair it white now ;)

Small country, big ambition.

Because a desirable society stands on principle and aspires higher, Boulevardia is no everyday experience. It’s a gathering unlike any other, one that elevates and combines the best aspects of beer, food and music festivals to relentlessly reward all who cross over our borders. It honors the rich past of our grounds while setting the agenda for future celebrations and sharing our commitment to important causes. It also highlights our good fortune to be able to regularly drink from our fountain of youth and truth: Boulevard Brewery. So come share it all with us and be a part of local history in the making.

So one of my absolute favorite things about Kansas City is Middle of the Map Festival. My great friends Nathan Reusch and Chris Haghirian started this festival and it has been going strong for a couple of years. This year was my first time at SXSW but I have to say I enjoyed MOTMfest much more. One of my favorite bands Big Black Delta performed and I turned into a 14 year old girl screaming/singing to every Big Black Delta song. Yes, I totally was "THAT GIRL." I hope that MOTM keeps its local vibe while still maintain all the big acts it needs to pull in each year to make a good investment.

I have more photos of the event to post but wanted to get started on a series of three blog posts dedicated to that fun day. I meant to document more of my outfits I wore around Westport to the concerts but I was having too much fun getting into trouble. Enjoy this post for now until post two and three make their appearance. Thanks for continuing to follow my blog. I truly appreciate you.
