LouFest + Futurgarb = Music Festival to Remember

LouFest/Futurgarb

This past weekend Vanessa and I were lucky enough to work the St. Louis music festival LouFest, with Chicago-based clothing and accessories company Futurgarb. Although it was a huge departure from our job last week with Sowing Seeds Nursery, it wasn't any less of a blast or a learning experience. Working on the road allows us many different opportunities to highlight many of our skill sets and meet all different kinds of people.

In total, we worked 31 hours from Friday-Sunday. Friday, the festival wasn't open yet, so we needed to set up and unload the boxes, which only took about 4-5 hours. The ground was wet and muddy from an unexpected St. Louis rainstorm, so we manually had to carry boxes in from the truck which couldn't make the trek across the rain-soaked grounds. Needless to say, we got a helluva workout in on Friday.

Saturday and Sunday were spent selling Futurgarb merch, which overall was pretty amazing. As most of you know, I FREAKING LOVE HATS. The hipster in me craves wide brims and felts on a daily basis. Futurgarb has THE coolest and widest arrangement of hats I have ever seen. (Note: the post is not sponsored, I really just love hats, mmkay?). Besides hats, they had killer sunglasses, scarves, Eco-friendly wallets made of recycled bicycle tires -- just accessories galore. Which made this stuff really easy to sell.

Let's just say, Vanessa and I worked our butts off this past weekend. We were exhausted and on our feet for 12 hours each day, but it was well-worth the adventure. We met so many amazing people, we spent the weekend outside, we could dress up in festival-wear and showcase our individuality, we were able to listen to some kick ass bands all weekend (Billy Idol, Nate Ruess, Brandon Flowers, Misterwives, Young the Giant, Ludacris, and more), and most importantly we were together.

HUGE shoutout to Futurgarb. Thank you for a memorable weekend and an amazing festival.

Vanessa and I will be stationed in St. Louis for the next few days as we've been exploring all the fun, free things to do in the city. Stay tuned for our next post.... hint, it includes a free trip to the zoo, a sculpture park, and a romantic picnic in Forest Park. Booyah.
