This was the first HARD event that I attended. It was different than the other events I have been to because it was a full weekend and not an Insomniac event. The weekend started off by the long drive down to LA, The Fairplex in Pomona, to get to the venue. It wasn't terrible because I had good company on the journey down with Sahar. We get to the hotel come Saturday before the event starts. Relax, eat, shower and get ready to head out to the venue.
We get to the Fairplex, park, and get ready to enter the chaotic lines to get in. Standard at music festivals you go through ID checks, bag checks, and pat downs. Make it through and walk through a tunnel before gazing at the grounds and what the HARD Summer has to offer. I was surprised at how hot it was outside but that didn't take away from the excitement of seeing performances/sets from some of my favorite DJs. Sahar and I start walking around just to get a feel for the venue and where everything is. Its a few hours until we meet up with some friends. Coming back from one of the different stages I luckily ran into my friend Lance. It was random but very much welcomed. He was with his friend Donna and we spent the rest of Day 1 jumping around from stage to stage. Most importantly on Day 1 we saw the Weeknd. There was so much to do at this event. Food, music, and attractions. Day 2 was hotter than the day before and was uncomfortable until the sun went down. But we pushed thru and made it as enjoyable as can be. Made the most of the weekend seeing so many different DJs.
