Festivus for the Restofus 2010 |
|
Finding time to go to shows can be tough for a Mommie with multiple kids, career and every day life getting in the way. Price of sitters, tickets and transport can bring the budget up before you even leave the house. What's a beachinmommie who still loves shows to do? Festivals! Wham bam, thank you ma'am. Drop the kids off with a sympathetic husband or other trusting folk and book a weekend of music galore. You have the potential for seeing a crazy number of bands in one weekend and even see some after shows to boot. Show up trained, rested, ready to drink beers, shake your booty and get your "whoo!" on! I have accumulated tips and general information regarding some 2010 festivals as great weekend Mommie escapes with friends or the whole family. |
