Dave and Sara traveled to San Francisco to check out the bevy of talent at Outside Lands. Dave noted that though he got to see some big names he hadn’t seen before (Stevie Wonder, Foo Fighters, Neil Young), what he most appreciated was the opportunity to see some great music in more intimate settings, like Alan Stone and Animal Kingdom. He also appreciated Chocolands, and supported the festival by stopping by every time he crossed the park. What a nice guy! Sara particularly liked Alabama Shakes and brought me home a t-shirt, which my daughters promptly claimed and fought over.
