Road Trip: Guaya Guaya Fest

Karl wanted to go to some reggaeton concert with a bunch of those gay reggaeton artists he likes. It's a 2 day concert thats pretty popular out here. I'm in the "apartment" aka the bedroom being rented as an apt, recovering from last night. KP went on a solo mission for day 2. I can take only so much reggaeton.

The concert was on the other side of the island...take a look at the map.


It took us 3 hours to get there. Thats further than a trip to San Diego!

We pull up to a dirt field with a stage in the middle, beer stands galore and a ton of puerto ricans. Yup! This is where it's at.



OKAY, the concert was suppose to begin at 7 but the DJ was the only artist there I guess cause we stood there for an hour before any singing/rapping artist came on.

Finally, the Puerto Rican Jill Scott came out


She was actually cool, she was backing up on random dudes from the audience and had a song about "ehhstripurs" or in english...STRIPPERS.



Her dancers were looking very nice.


I just pointed the camera backward and snapped a picture of the crowd. There was easily 2000 people there and you felt it. It was an outdoor thing and it felt like a suana. Standing in total for 8 hours in the human suana caused my brain to go into coma mode. The pain took over and I just stood the rest of the night with a blank stare on my face which everyone could clearly see read "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE".

Some other artists came out...did there thing...sound was lost, crowd started singing the songs, it got hotter from all the hot breaths singing. Sound came back, more artists. Its 12:45 a.m. and the artist everyone was waiting for finally came out.


De La Ghetto


I'm not gonna lie, I caught myself dancing to his performance...and thanks to KPs ipod I caught myself knowing some of the words LOL.

He got off stage, some other dude came on but I was done so I headed to the car and waited for K.P. to get his jollies off. The concert ended at 2:30 a.m. but it took us an hour to leave the parking lot. 3 hr road trip back to the apartment left us with a 6:30-6:45a.m. arrival...gave us enough time to take a 2 hr nap before we had to move out our studio into an even smaller studio.
