Throwing caution to the wind, I used a few free Southwest Airlines credits and hopped on a plane to the Bay area. Visited friends in Palo Alto, before taking the cal-train into the city. Treasure Island festival is a two day festival on an island in the bay called, you guessed it, Treasure Island. It used to be a naval base but now it is the center for environmental projects. There was a solar and wind turbine stage that did go out a few times (specifically during the FOALS set). I could only go to the Saturday show due to scheduling conflicts, but it was a great time. FOALs, Hot Chip, CSS, TV on the Radio, goldfrapp, and Jusice. Cali is a great place. My friends and I got in a habit of calling everyone a hippie that weekend; cab drivers, waiters, hotel bellmen, "businessmen" , and of course, each other. We went to "hippie" ground zero (Haight and Ashbury) and caught a lady by the name of mary Jane on tape. It is NSFW. But to give you a hint, she was wasted, 55+, and basically thought it was marti gras. Ewwwwwww
