Today is the first day of Outside Lands. Park your cars for the weekend and brace yourself for the flood.
Pretty soon, that entire open blotch on the aerial view of Golden Gate Park--fondly referred to as the Polo Field--will be covered with people celebrating Outside Lands 2013. If you aren't hitting the festival this weekend, or you're planning to hunker down and ride out the onslaught of city-bound travelers, here's a tip. First, Outside Lands will be streaming some of its acts here, so you can watch for free even if you can't make the shows. If you're ready to throw it in and skip Outside Lands altogether--and who could blame you--there's an alternative party Saturday afternoon: an arcade party at Free Gold Watch, hosted with Wing Wings, and followed up by an aterparty at Kezar Pub. Details here. Other than that, we say: enjoy! Play safe out there.
