Outside Lands 2008 In Photos

This weekend San Francisco hosted the first-ever Outside Lands Festival. We're still nursing hangovers from a long summer of fests, so in our stead we sent Heather of I Am Fuel You Are Friends to take it in, and take some photos. So, take it away, Heather...

The inaugural Outside Lands Festival took over San Francisco's rambling Golden Gate Park this weekend, with Radiohead playing the first after-dark concert ever on those historic fields. Amidst thick fog and cypress trees, they transfixed the Friday crowd in a dazzling show of lights and breathtaking sound. But logistics sometimes overwhelmed the first-time festival -- like when the sound vanished for thirty interminable seconds during Radiohead's set. Twice. How to disappear completely, indeed. Some of us worried that we had finally, tragically gone deaf after too much concertgoing, while an unruffled Radiohead continued to play nobly, joking afterwards that someone spilled beer onto the cord.
