A good friend and I recently went to a massive 4 day music festival in northern michigan called Rothbury. I covered the festival for my friend's magazine, and he is finally getting around to getting it on the web-site. Check it out here. www.kemiks.com Only the first half is up...
On the web-site: He's always looking for more writers. Cover your favorite concerts and CDs however you want to, and he'll appreciate it and make it up to you by giving you a free ticket to some music festivals for you to cover. As you can see if you've been reading the stuff I post on here, you can write whatever the fuck you want.
On the article: I decided to make it a little more strange/interesting/challenging by inventing two characters and covering the festival from their perspective. I think it turned out all right. Most of their experiences were my own, including seeing the Fred Flintstone character screaming WILMAAA while struggling through a trip, and most others. Let me know what you think...
On the experience: I hope the article captures it pretty well. These festivals are an incredibly strange experience, and I highly recommend going to one, though you probably won't find it to be the most momentarily comfortable experience.

First of all, the sign looks like "BOTHBURRY", which made scoff...then throw up. Second of all, nice writeups—sounds wild, and I want to see Modest Mouse. Third of all, The Green Album text coloration makes it look like a play on Al Green. Was that intentional? I wonder.
The Green Album is a "mixup" by one of Malte's friends that is getting a lot of international recognition. It's an album of Al Green songs mixed with rap songs. Other famous mixups include the Grey album, which is a mix between The Beatles' White Album and JayZ's Black Album.
