Vans Warped Tour San Diego - part 1 - Icon For Hire & Metro Station

Wow! So late it's basically a flash back already!...

So recap. In the beginning of August I took a little trip down to San Diego for my second round of the Vans Warped Tour 2015.

Mountain View was such an incredible experience that I wanted a little bit more. This time around I was not doing any interviews so I focused on checking out different bands and taking pictures. Sadly the heat struck me down after 4 hours and waiting for Pierce The Veil turned into a real struggle.
Still the pictures turned out nice and even though I took a lot I only chose a handful this time.

The worst sun burn of my life is healed but the pictures remain.
Let's get crackin'.

My day started off with Icon For Hire & Metro Station.

Change ahead!

Life is full of turning points.
Sometimes they're big, sometimes they're small. But they redirect your life in different ways.

When I woke up this morning I didn't expect today to be one of those big ones..!
Today I took the first step towards closing one of the most significant chapters of my life.
I'm happy, sad, excited and terrified. But over all eager to find out what's waiting for me down the road.

Speaking of the road. Still working through all my pictures from my little road trip to the Vans Warped Tour in San Diego.

Here is a little sneak peek on what's coming soon!

5 Seconds of Summer in Mountain View

Flashback to last November? It sure felt like it!

Was super fun seeing the guys from 5 Seconds of Summer again last night in Mountain View. Apart from their new single "She's Kinda Hot" and "Permanent Vacation" the set was the same as the one at the Forum in Los Angeles in November.

The atmosphere was incredible! It felt like everyone was singing along and the Shoreline Amphitheatre was absolutely packed. 

Can't wait for the next album. If you haven't already, go check them out live. Really worth it!

(*I was on the waiting list for a photo pass but sadly didn't get it. So I didn't bother taking a lot of pictures which allowed me to simply enjoy the show. And the ones I took pretty much look like the ones from last year. )

I bought the ticket to the show last year in August. I can't believe how fast time is flying right now...

Short Trip To Sacramento

 

When I asked around if anyone had been to Sacramento before, most people answered "Yes, I drove through when I came from somewhere else". For most inhabitants of the San Francisco bay area Sacramento is just a pit stop before reaching home and honestly I'm surprised about that!

While I was in Orangevale for the Hollywood Ending concert I decided (like a couple of times before) to turn my trip in a little expedition. To be honest I can't remember the last time I felt that hot due to 40°C/105°F, no clouds and no breeze... Little tip, drinking Rockstar while walking through the heat is not a good idea... Stay with water.

So Friday before the concert I walked around in the historic part of Folsom and Saturday I saved some hours before driving home to explore downtown. Since I've never been to Sacramento before I googled "What's in downtown Sacramento?" and jumped on a train.

It might have been because it was Saturday morning but I can't remember the last time I was in a city that peaceful. Everything was quite and there were not a lot of people around.
I visited the Capitol Park at the California State Capitol Museum and the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.

 I spend over an hour just sitting on a bench soaking in the peaceful atmosphere without headphones and music (that's so untypical for me!) and I think I hadn't been that much at peace in a long time.
The trip when short was absolutely worth it.
I guess the fact that I hadn't had a day off in over four weeks just added to the perfect relaxation. Sacramento is definitely worth visiting and I would come back to see some more.

The trip home took me forever to transfer in San Francisco though. Due to Pride that weekend and another successful Giants game there were insanely many people around. When I made it home I was pleased to find out that I took some nice pics of the concert and Sacramento.
What a trip!!
