Oklahoma: More fun than you think



My Oklahoma blog is a little late, but here it is! I had so much fun on this trip with my family. Going to take you through it with pictures. Enjoy kids :) 

My trip starts off with a first class plane ride courtesy of Mom and Dad. This is only the 3rd time I have sat in first class and I will have to say.... I could definitely get use to flying this way :) 

Drinking some wine in first class. The most hilarious part of this flight that I must share is my seat. You are probably wondering how that is funny right? Well I was in the first row of the plane and notice the positioning of my legs here. The man sitting next to me mid-flight taps me and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just had to say that I wish I could be your size right now. You look so comfortable being able to extend your legs all the way out to the wall in front of you!" I couldn't help but crack up at this, as this man is about 6'4 and looks so cramped! LOL. My response to him was, "Hahaha I did not even notice how much I "fit" into this seat!" and then I said "Yes, being small has it perks for sure...but do you know what the downside is ? I go to a lot of concert and music venues and I can't see shit!" He started busting up laughing and this stirred up an entire plane ride conversation about my love of DJs....of course :) 

This is my amazing sister Amanda and I on campus at University of Oklahoma just before the football game! 

My family and I at the sorority house....potential Christmas card pic :) 

Go Sooners! 

My cousin Missy is having twins soon and I was able to attend her baby shower and they had these adorable cupcakes! Pink and blue for a boy and a girl...They picked the cutest names...Harper and Jackson :) 
Cake balls. Best dessert ever. 


Me and my cousin Steph's dog Cassie. She is so tiny and I love it.

More dogs. This is Bailey. Sweetest dog ever! 

At my cousin's baby shower. Nelson and Hageman girls! I miss you already! 

Oh  and one more thing ...While I was in Oklahoma they had 2 decent size earthquakes! And they do not get earthquakes in Oklahoma! I think I may have brought them with me from SF. People were pointing the finger and I tried to look innocent. The funny thing is when I feel them here in San Francisco, I do not even flinch....but there was a different story...the ground was shaking and I was frantically looking for the nearest sturdy table to duck under. LOL

Music Mondays: Festival Season is Never Ending


Happy Monday everyone! Just want to say that this past weekend, the EC Twins rocked it at Vessel! They packed the house and put on an amazing set! Can't wait to have them back in San Francisco again. Also, I am still in shock that after my decision to skip the Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso show at Ruby Skye, they  cancelled last minute due to flight complications. I sympathize for all who went to the show or were planning on it! What a bummer!  Good news is for all who bought tickets, their money is being refunded and also the show is apparently set to be rescheduled! That means they have a lot of making up to do!

And now on to music Mondays....

So everyone, what do you like better? Christmas or Festival Season?
The answer should be...Festival Season duh. (Hope you have all seen one of the best movies ever Wedding Crashers to get my reference here :)

Anyways, while there really isn't any particular hot season for music festivals, as they are constantly popping up everywhere all the time, here is a list of ones you should mark on your calendars to check out in the upcoming year!

1. Snowglobe Music Festival - December 29-31, 2011 Lake Tahoe
http://snowglobemusicfestival.com/

This festival is happening this NYE in South Lake Tahoe and is a three day snow fest with headliners Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation and Glitch Mob. This should be a fun weekend up in the mountains so put on your snow gear and buy your tickets now! 




2. BPM Music Festival - December 29- January 8, 2012 - Playa Del Carmen


I have never attended this festival, but what sounds bad about about being in Mexico, on the beach for NYE with amazing music and gorgeous people! This is a week long festival in Playa Del Carmen and looks absolutely incredible!

3.  Tomorrowland - July 27-29, 2012  Belgium
This festival is at the top of my list for next year! It is in Belgium in July next year and from this video really does seem like a fantasy world. To quote from the website the theme ...
Yesterday is History, Today is a Gift, Tomorrow is Mystery..

4. Ultra Music Festival - March 23-26, 2012 Miami FL
Ultra Music Festival in Miami is an amazing electronic music festival. I went a couple of years ago and it was so much fun! You can hop between the festival, amazing South Beach nightclubs, and yacht parties with people who all love house music! Miami is a sexy place and there definitely will be some major headliners in 2012!

5. Coachella - April 13-15 & April 20-22, 2012 - Indio California
This is the best music festival of all time! I had the most amazing experience last year and was so sad when it ended! It inlcudes all genres of music including house, hip hop, rock, pop, just to name a few! Headliners from the past couple of years include DeadMau5, Tiesto, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Empire of the Sun, and more! Due to the popularity of this event, Coachella is putting on two back to back weekends so that more people can enjoy and have the opportunity to experience this musical heaven as it sold out last year and there were so many people unable to go! I absolutely can't wait for this!


Every year, a blog about Girls of Coachella is released and look who made the cut this year... my friend Karrie, Emily and I. Thanks to the shoulders who helped us out!!!! Check the link out below.... there are shots of Paris Hilton, Rihanna,  Kelly Osborne, Kirsten Dunst and my friend Emily!!! Looks like we are rolling with the big dogs :)
