the good ole days (pioneertown + pappy & harriet's)

as i mentioned, the bf and i spent last weekend out in the desert with his grandparents. on saturday night we decided to drive out to pioneertown - a small little village about an hour from where we were staying. 

other than the one road (mane st.) that is pioneertown, there is a motel & and restruant/bar - pappy & harriet's.  after walking down the mane st. (which we did pretty fast, it was so cold & i wasn't prepared!), we went to eat at pappy & harriet's.  it was packed, we had to wait and hour for a table!  luckily there was a bluegrass band playing (they have bands every night, i think) so the wait didn't seem so bad.  once we got our food, we realized the wait was welllll worth it! 

mtn man i found at pappy & harriet's... oh no, just the bf who needs a haircut!

extra points for serving drinks in mason jars.  bf wants to replace all our glasses with jars.

chili fries - literally the best i've ever had!

1/2 chicken w/ veggie of the day (broccoli) and garlic mashed potatoes & gravy.  so good.

i will definitely go back to pioneertown and pappy & harriet's, and highly recommend it to anyone going to the area!  happy friday everyone!

the last day

it was an exhausting weekend, but a lot of fun.  glad to be home.  i'm too tired to write anything so just check out the photos:

outside lands day two

day two of outside lands,  we took it easy.  tired from phish the night before.  caught some ok go, some arctic monkeys, and some of the black keys.  highlight of my day - finding fp blogger julia via hints on twitter and getting a gift card!  i was so stoked about it!  i guess this twitter thing is kinda cool after all.

free people sweater (similar) & bandeau, j brand houlihan cargos

spicy mac & cheese from homeroom

sweet potato fries with wasabi and ginger dipping sauces from pacific catch

frickles!!! from those fabulous frickle brothers - yummy!

huge crowd for the black keys

the crowd was much bigger on the second day, i guess since it was saturday and more people didn't have work.  we didn't have any bands that we absolutely had to see, so we focused mostly on just relaxing and eating.  super excited for the infamous string dusters today and then arcade fire tonight!  oh, and more yummy food (and wine... i'm kinda sick of beer now)!!

 

whatever you do take care of your shoes

yesterday's opening day of outside lands festival 2011 was pretty amazing!  phish was playing two sets and the band was our main attraction for day 1.  i decided on basic outfit of jeans and a tank to be really comfortable during the sets.  it is pretty cool up here in SF (62 is the high in august!) so i did some layering to keep warm.  i just wish i had worn socks!

rag & bone button down, madewell tank, zara scarf (similar), ray-ban glasses

vintage belt, paige jeans

bed:stu loafers

we decided to head over to the festival around noon-ish, it was nice and sunny in the city but when we got to golden gate park it was overcast, cold and windy!  once i started dancing i warmed up pretty quick, its really the only way to keep warm! 

pendleton bag

the food at this festival is probably the best you could ask for, there are soo many choices and everything smells delicious!    

brisket sandwich from memphis minnie's.  boyfriend said it was "like butter"

fried plantain and black bean burrito from the little chihuahua

i hope day 2 is as much fun as day 1.  i wish phish was playing again, i guess i kinda like them more than "i enjoy the music".  i just didn't wanna admit it.  whatevs.  super excited for more yummy food today!
