A Blog About Nothing

Festival Imperial. One of the biggest events hosted in Costa Rica, by the beer-brewing company, Imperial. The first year they hosted this event it wasn’t as popular, it was more of a publicity stunt, but with so much advertising, you can hardly say no money was made. The event was featuring bands like Cafe Tacvba, Incubus, and Smashing Pumpkins, among others. The event started with a local singer doing cover songs, and ended with Smashing Pumpkins, I left right before they started so I wouldn’t be caught in the 5,000 car traffic jam. For me, it was a great experience, I was about ten feet from the stage when Incubus was playing and they had a great performance. The energy in the air was overwhelming and you could hardly breathe as you were inside the huge crowd of people singing along to the lyrics. The best song that they played I think was, “Are You In”, not because the song is good, but just because everyone was singing along and most of the people knew the lyrics. It also had a great ring to it with all the echo of all the people singing. One of the best concerts that have been hosted in Costa Rica. For all of you that missed it, you missed a great opportunity to have a great time and just hang-out with your friends. It was a great concert, and everyone had a great time, if you were smart and left thirty minutes – an hour earlier you didn’t get caught in any traffic. Another great song that they played was “Wish You Were Here”, again, it was also a very known song and you could feel the energy in the air and see everyone jumping up and down from the excitement and euphoria.
