Can We Start?
Posted by andrew matson
Now the grassy area is full, the seats are sat in, and the "mosh" area is teeming. Let's do this, right? C'mon Ray J. People are ready for the Summer Jam stage to start popping.
Hanging around the Dyme Def tent (I'm stealing their electricity, powering up my Dell, watching them give away 1,000 copies of the group's "3 Bad Brothaaas" mixtape in an hour), I ran into Capitol Hill rapper Macklemore. He bought tickets today. He's lucky: from what I know, Summer Jam sold out.
I caught up with Diana and Allison, the sister ticket-winners I met earlier in the day. They thought they were getting backstage passes from KUBE, but no. They are sitting on the grass in the sun, no blanket, no sunscreen, no hats, and, like everyone else here, preparing for the long haul.
More observations:
Everybody wearing a baseball hat has left the shiny stickers on the brim.
Everybody wearing a white t-shirt is wearing a brand new one, bright white with creases.
