Swedish Adventure 2011™ begins in one week. As if the trip itself weren't exciting enough, I recently learned that Bobby and I are approved to cover Way Out West while we are there. My preview piece about that is here. I wouldn't be able to do this at all if Bobby hadn't agreed to photograph the festival. Fortunately he's pretty indulgent of me and my crazy whims, so that's what we'll be doing. His test piece, which involved our friend Brittain's band, Prairie Empire, is here. He and I will be like three feet from Prince, Robyn, Kanye, Jarvis Cocker, Janelle Monáe, and a whole host of others. We've made a rather ambitious schedule for ourselves, but when else will we have such an opportunity? Can I cover 20+ bands a day for three days? You bet I can.
I'll have more exciting news later, I'm sure, and I'll try to make a few blog posts while we are in Sweden. In the meantime, I'm cramming my suitcase full of horizontally-striped clothing and fun gifts for friends. Let the countdown begin!
That line up is insane! Pretty cool that you are Bobby are working together creatively.
ReplyDeleteYup. I'm excited about both those things :)
