Boardwalk breeze
This weather
This is the 18th Fuji Rock we’ve attended, and we would have to admit the weather was never this good. Of course, there’s still one more day to go, and mountain weather is infamous for changing on a dime, but based on the quality of the clouds in the sky right now, it doesn’t seem likely. Even in the past when the weather was generally good, it usually rained at least once. So far, nothing.
The problem with that is the dust. Usually, the organizers are careful to spread water on the paths and in front of the stages to keep the dust down, but we haven’t seen anything like that yet. Then there’s also the danger of dehydration, and there are lots of announcements to drink enough liquids, which, of course, you have to pay for. We’ve already seen a few people being carried to the first aid stations.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re not complaining, but sometimes a little squall is just the thing to break the heat. Besides, we want to try out our new rain coats. (text/photo: Philip Brasor)

They’re heeeere
A public service notice: So you found this nice, light portable chair at Tokyu Hands with holes in the arm rest for your drink?
Fantastic. Looks real comfortable.
But next year, do us all a favor and stick them at the back of the stage and our of harm’s way. (photos: Mark Thompson)

Abandon all hope … (but there is another exit, if it gets too intense).
