Main Entrance on First Day

This was my first time to attend the Bonnaroo Festival; My first time to report for NewsOk;  and my first time to write a first person piece.  The festival also helped me find the perfect story to launch my personal blog, Green Life Girl, an Eco concious blog.  Most of the interviews I did for my story and blog were done while waiting for the next band to hit the stage.  This made the wait time go by much quicker and helped me get to know the group around me.

The days were hot and dusty but the bands were full of energy and excitement.  My favorite acts were The Strokes by far but closely followed by Florence and the Machine and Arcade Fire.  Other than music there were some really exciting, funny and weird experiences had at the festival.  I love being a journalist because it may be the only career in which you can listen to your favorite musicians and say you’re working.
