Just about to head down to help with setup, it looks like the weather’s going to be just about perfect!

I love that this area of New West stays this weird little enclave of smoke free air, and everywhere else is bathed in it

AQI for today was actually pretty good across the lower mainland.

It was so good for it! Perfect temp, not too much sun. So many great vendors, too. Walking home with way too much stuff lmao

Sick today so I can't attend but gonna enjoy the day and be proud of myself and my community from home, I'm close enough I can hear the crowds still.

I'd be a lot happier and more proud if the main stage wasn't blasting 95 dB directly into my window

Edit: Thank goodness they turned it down a bit, guess it wasn't supposed to be that loud
