This weekend, my roommate Annie, Emily ChanNo, and Tina headed out east to the Lakeside area / Santee for Country Fest 2009 - $5 tickets (I've attached a link to Santee just in case you felt like visiting this area). It was quite an experience. We had packed up the car with wine, cheese, hummas and yummy pumpkin bread to tailgate of course before the concert. When we arrived, all 4 of us had to find a restroom - which we chose to sneak into the Lakeside Burger King right off the highway. This experience totally set the moment. As we were standing in line, 2 girls came in and announced - "this is how we do it in Santee, us Santee white trash!" They proceeded to pee with the door open. Perfect way to start out the evening. After that lovely experience, we headed back to the car and started our search for a place to park and enjoy our appies and cocktails. Found the perfect spot, down an alley, across from an apartment complex, kiddie corner to a hotel and bar (that we later found out was a "soda bar"). We tailgated by our lonesomes - even though we were the only people around - we still had a blast. After finishing 2 bottles of wine, we headed off to the Lakeside Rodeo - where we tried on cowboy hats, mingled with the locals (found a highschool trackstar and took a pic wearing his lettermans jacket - thanks Tanner), and enjoyed 1 of the 3 concerts that were offered that night, Lady Antebellum. Can't wait for Country Fest 2010 :)
