Saturday<\/a>, 19 July:
\n19:30 Calamity Jane
\n20:30 Gisele Jackson and the Shu Shu’s
\n22:00 The Memphis Music Hall of Fame Band
\n22:10 Shunta Mosby, Dani McGhee & Candy Fox
\n22:50 Lil Rounds
\n23:50 Jerome Chism
\n00:30 Gran Final<\/p>\nI\u2019ve been to this festival several times, always with Diego. The last time was two years ago. We always do it the same way: two days of fun, Friday and Saturday. One day I drive, the other day Diego takes the wheel. No kids because we\u2019re home alone while both our families are off vacationing somewhere far away. We stay behind as loyal wage slaves.<\/p>\n
But this year we\u2019re doing things differently. No commuting back and forth. We plan on sleeping in the car near the beach. Just a mat and a sleeping bag. That saves us a lot of travel time we’d rather spend relaxing in the sand. Friday: we leave, enjoy the festival, sleep in the car; Saturday: more music, another car night, then head home on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Two nights in the car? Should be doable. We’re just going to give it a shot.
\n<\/p>\n
Update<\/strong>: The festival was absolutely amazing, but I couldn’t handle sleeping in the car for two nights. On the second day, I stayed completely sober and drove back home at night so I could sleep comfortably in my own bed again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weekend I\u2019m heading to San Agust\u00edn in the sunny south of Gran Canaria.

This weekend I\u2019m heading to San Agust\u00edn in the sunny south of Gran Canaria. Every year, they build an impressive stage right on the beach: the ocean on one side, food, drinks, and restrooms on the other. On Friday and Saturday, we\u2019ll be soaking up the warm sand and enjoying the Soul Festival.<\/p>\n
