the whole week was spent something like this
8:30am alarm goes off, hit snooze 3 times (alright lets be honest it was more like 8)
9:15am grab free breakfast at hotel and stuff as much food into your mouth as you could.
9:30am we're supposed to leave for the festival site.
9:47am we finally load in the vans.
10:30am begin venturing out with the ipads and talk to strangers for a few hours.
1:30pm run over and take a 30 minute power nap at the cozy state farm tents (shh don't tell).
2-5pm hit up a few shows, grab food, and talk to more people.
5-12am alternate between seeing shows and sitting at the one booth.
12-2am more shows and talking to funny drunk people.
2:30am lay in bed.
2:31am out.
REPEAT.
the people we met at roo was great. i honestly felt like i stepped into across the universe. my inner hippie came out and boy did i embrace it. when we weren't using the ipads to sign people up, a lot of the time we were handing out free temporary tattoos and wristbands. boy did people love those. we quickly realized on the first day that once 5pm hit, we would just hand out free stuff because people hit an intoxicated point. one man tried to get us to put the tattoo on his butt. yup. we all got mooned. gotta love the people at roo.
it was definitely tiring. some nights longer than others. but the it was so awesome to see how 14 people from across the states at different schools (hawaii, michigan, florida, washington) could come together and form our little one family. it was the best and i really miss them so much. i'm hopeful our paths will cross again one day.
