Everything about this festival was phenomenal. \n\nIt was set on the old strip of Las Vegas - think back like Fear and Loathing or the days of Elvis, not the impersonations but the real deal. The buildings have so much character which makes for a better setting and just a more classic feel. They transformed the streets where the festival took place with wall murals; one side of a building was 3D and the next building someone had scraped away the paint to create one of the most amazing pieces of work I have had the pleasure to see. They converted an old run down motel into an art exhibit - walking from room to room to experience a new artist. I was even able to witness two artists paint and transform the side of a building during one of the shows. I did not attend the culinary village or those events - let's face it, I was there for the music.\n\nThe overall festival was so organized. There was never a time where I felt lost or that there wasn't whatever I needed (bathrooms, beer, food, water, ferris wheels, maps, etc.) within 20 feet of me. Having been to many festivals, that really was amazing to me especially being with this being LIB's first rodeo. Even the people that attended this festival were so magnificent - I met so many wonderful people. During the concerts, there wasn't any pushing or shoving or a single time where I felt submerged in chaos. The crowds and all of the bands/musicians that played at this festival solidified my heart. \n\nYes, things were overpriced. For instance, a beer at the tents was $9... for a heineken? Oh please. Luckily if you took a little walk into the old shops, they converted the barber shop into... what you say.. A BAR! Cocktails - $3, Cans of beer - $4. They also had food around here, but I chose to eat away my life in plantains and Arepas outside of the festival at a nearby Venezuelan joint. \n\nWhat I do know from this short story is, I WILL BE BACK LIB!!
