80/35: Day 2

80/35: Day 1

Last weekend was the 6th annual 80/35 music festival held in the Western Gateway of downtown Des Moines. If you're unfamiliar with 80/35, check out this scintillating blog post written by my boss at Raygun! This year's acts included David Byrne & St. Vincent, Wu-Tang Clan, Yeasayer, Wavves, Deerhunter, and Menomena, among a myriad of others. The festival started Friday at 5pm until about 12am, and then picked up again Saturday all day long. I didn't get to go during the day on Saturday because I was working, but I did get there in time to see Wu-Tang. All in all I had a great time, and I can't wait to see who they get for next year!

Terrible picture of Yeasayer.

On Friday Eden celebrated their 10 year anniversary. 10 years in Des Moines' East Village! I can only imagine how much the E.V. has changed and grown over the past 10 years. I love the inside of Eden. I wish I could live in there, to be honest. Everything smells so good and looks so good. Congratulations on 10 years, Jen! Here's to 10 more!
