Overheard at Middlelands 2017

I attended the inaugural Middlelands in Todd Mission, Texas this past weekend. You can read about my personal experience here. But here’s a list of things that were overheard at the Insomniac-produced festival, which featured Kaskade, Bassnectar, and a slew of other top-flight electronic acts.
