Tacoma, you need to dance.

You need to get up off your seat, put on your dancing shoes and go make a fool of yourself. Dance like no one’s watching. Dance like you’re the center of the universe. It’s good for the body. It’s good for the soul. It’s been a long time coming and we promise it’s gonna be so worth it!

We had such an amazing time at TIMBER! Outdoor Music Festival this year—including, but not limited to: (1) sitting front-and-center through J Mascis‘ mind-altering set, (2) watching Damien Jurado‘s gorgeous set from our tent, (3) the Milky Way overhead, (4) swimming in the river with good friends, (5) feeling a world away in Tolt-MacDonald Park, and (6) spending the weekend with some of our favorite people and artists. Thank you Kevin, Phil and Chad at Artist Home! Photos are below and films are to come…!
