Naive & Unchained

BTS x NYC. BTS’ and my first stadium show in North America. Felt at times like I had accidentally joined a cult but it was an intensely beautiful and impactful show. So proud of their deserved success, honing their performance craft, and continued message and reminders of love. Love yourself 💜.

XPoNential Festival 2018 ✔️ I remember seeing @thewarondrugs play World Cafe Live downstairs at the first NonComm I ever worked back in 2012—>and then from behind the River Stage at the first XPoNential Festival I ever worked later that same year—>then at their 2014 show at Union Transfer in support of Lost In the Dream—>and finally when they headlined XPoNential Saturday night at BB&T Pavilion. It’s so cool watching bands XPN introduced me to grow like this. Always thankful 🙏. Other weekend highlights: Sylvan Esso & David Byrne(!), Sunflower Bean, Phoebe Bridgers, and many more.
