Tomorrow morning, my story about Langerado 2008 – the multi-day, multi-genre outdoor (camping optional) music festival – hits newsstands. Tomorrow night, my husband and I hit the road to South Florida with our friends, Matt and Orel, for the sixth annual fest, which has been moved 60 miles inland from its metropolitan Sunrise setting to the gorgeous natural landscape of Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. We pick up the RV and supplies in Ft. Lauderdale Thursday morning, and make our way to the reservation later that evening.Â
What makes me sad: Vampire Weekend, my new obsession, has just pulled out of their Saturday Langerado slot to play Saturday Night Live instead.Â
What makes me happy: I still have more than 80 bands to choose from and can look forward to a extra performance by funky UK foursome, The New Mastersounds, who’ve taken over the set that VW vacated. Plus, it’s my first experience camping in luxury and I’m quite looking forward to it.Â
Stayed tuned for my story and follow up blog post.Â
