The Bluegrass Situation

October 20, 2015

Corn hole. BBQ. Beer. Good music. My favorite LA music venue. This is what the 5th annual The Bluegrass Situation festival, hosted by the Greek Theater this year, encompassed. The festivities of Saturday, October 3rd were a great way to say farewell to summer. I went to the second day of the two-day event that was last year’s LA Bluegrass Situation. Although it was a lot of fun, it was held at an indoor theater, which wasn’t quite as conducive to the fun things that this years’ festival offered.

Do you have a place somewhere in this great big world that you go to where it just feels so nostalgic that you feel like you could burst from the overwhelming feeling you get when you think about it, let alone are actually there? A place where memories flood back to you around every corner, every cherished spot within that location? This is Yosemite for me – the vast valley that is surrounded by giant granite rock formations and shimmering waterfalls, and only about a 6 hour drive from LA. This is my escape from the hustle and bustle of the city—from feeling like I always need to do, do, do. And although it couldn’t feel more different from my City of Angels, I feel just as (if not more) at home there.
