The Wailers at Springfest, 2002


Jess, Aubrey, and I arrived at the college field house, where the concert was being held, at about 4:30. We were searched buy these scary security guards who felt the need to comment on my Hello Kitty wallet and look at all of our butts. We walked around, took some free stickers, and listened to Ross Mafia, a local band. Aubrey had to leave at 5:30 for dance, so Jess and I sat on the bleachers and watched Soul Farm until Aubrey came back. The bassist from Soul Farm was sitting out after and I got his autograph. He had a cool bass. So, we got some nachos and got cheese everywhere, played some Frisbee, and hung out until the Wailers came on around 8:30. We were in the front of this huge crowd, with really tall guys in front of us (I’m 5’2’’). We stayed there for a while, and then moved out to get a drink. We saw Ange and danced for a while. There was this guy in front of us who was practically on top of Ange and another one who really smelled! We left at around 10:30, but I think they played past midnight (I could hear the music from my house).
