Last year I was super psyched to go to X Games and really surprised no one would go with me!
… then I went.
… and now, I will probably not ever go again either. (I also happen to be in Park City this weekend, yay!)
It’s awesome, yes, that X Games are in Aspen. But it’s really crowded, the views are not awesome, and the lines for the buses are beyond ridiculous.
However, the music in town for X Games is also ridiculous. Ridiculous. So we have to appreciate that!
Saturday the always-free Hi-Fi Concert Series at the base of Aspen mountain features AWOLNATION, at 5:30p. Although I enjoyed Big Boi last year, AWOLNATION is definitely a hot-hot act right now and sure to please the X Games crowd.
Belly Up has some stellar acts, a few of which are already sold old (Deadmau5 sold out in a flash and caused a lot of drama to boot):
Plus Sunday night TheGoodLife! & Louie Vito present Raekwon & Ghostface Killah with very special guests DJ Spider & 12th Planet.
