Wayzgoose Going Big!
Picture this: performances spread across three stages, eccentrically dressed people on stilts dancing to dynamic acoustic melodies, sweaty masses sitting in the shade or hustling themselves from one thing to the next, more ice cream, baked goods, bacon-wrapped hot dogs and strawberry lemonade than one could ever possibly need, a Ferris wheel that sped on with promises of bringing all that food back up, a brave few hanging from trees, parked cars and panting dogs everywhere, spaces packed with booths on flattened grass … this past Saturday, all of these things melted into the sun-drenched afternoon. Coachella? Don’t be silly. This is UC Irvine. Read the rest online at http://www.newuniversity.org/2011/04/entertainment/wayzgoose-2011/
