Southfest

On Saturday, 4/5, we went to a show called Southfest.  It's a big electronic music festival, and the headliners were Paul Oakenfold and Underworld.  We found out about it by just searching the internet for upcoming shows in BA, and it sounded fun.  Like most things here, it didn't get started till late, and kept going till really early in the morning.  Since Oakenfold wasn't scheduled to go on until 4am (apparently they go on as scheduled here instead of an hour late) we decided to show up around 1.  The venue was three pavilions connected to one another.  The main one had to be the size of 2 football fields with a huge control tower in the middle.  I'm not sure how many people were there, but it was really, really crowded with sweaty Portenos wearing sunglasses at night.  The show was a great time, and even though we were too tired to make it through the whole thing, it was really fun to be at a show of that size and to see all of the different types of people who showed up. 

Take a look at the slideshow link to the right to see some pics from the show. It's hard to tell from the pic but one guy is wearing a bathrobe - just like The Dude.
