Her set started early at 9:25 p.m. After four days of intense music, the festival celebrated their seventh year with fireworks and historic music on stage.

Saturday Recap at Hangout Fest 2016 from Alabama
Saturday’s weather provided clear, sunny skies and energetic people from all over the country and globe to party at Hangout Fest. We arrived to the beach to catch Portugal. The Man performing on the Hangout Stage. We ate some food, and ventured over to Camp Hangout. It was a recreational area for people of all ages to interact with kickball, a fire pit, water guns and relaxing shade during the early hours of the day. I can’t remember the last time I played kickball, and being 31-years-old, I felt like a kid again at bat. I did fail to

I Am Thalente Film Review with Insight from Director Natalie Johns
A Documentary on International Skateboarding with Thalente Natalie Jones, director for I Am Thalente, worked with Seed & Spark to produce a social conscious film project that portrays a life of a homeless young adult, Thalente Biyela, and his aspirations to compete on a professional level. When I first saw the trailer to the film, I experienced chills and goosebumps over the amount of drive and spirit within Thalente.

What I have noticed so far in a rural section of Illinois, is that Carbondale, being a college town, had a much larger demand for RSD than Marion
