I wish I had time for a full post telling you how much fun I am having live tweeting for North Coast Festival, but I am too busy tweeting, and running around the fest getting you the best shots of the talent and the crowd (and usually looking for outlets to constantly recharge my iPhone).
Here is a quick preview of what I’ve been up too, and I promise more to come (but maybe on Monday or Tuesday!) Most importantly, follow along with my live tweets at www.twitter.com/NorthCoastFest.
By the TweetStats numbers:
By the #'s ... over 100 tweets yesterday alone!
But thats not as exciting as … these numbers, the number of fans!
Crowd at the Coast Stage, from ON stage at Moby!
Some other highlights… without combing through over 600+ pictures on the 3 cameras I’ve been toting around this weekend …
Chicago flag & Chicago crowd for Chicago's own Umphrey's MeGee!
And I got up close & personal with my buddy Plug Won from De La Soul, minutes before they took the stage!
De La Soul's Plug Won and interactiveAmy backstage at North Coast Fest! I willed this pic to happen!
Amazingly, I found my hubby and my friends… and there happened to be a photo booth nearby! Thanks to the Roving Festival Writer (brilliant idea to bring a photo booth to shows, and totally wish I’d thought of this!) So fun to meet these guys after setting up their press credentials and emailing with them for the past few weeks!
Thanks to the Roving Festival Writer, someone took a pic of me with my friends, I've been on the wrong side of the lens!
And lastly, the first official North Coast Fest Tweet Up was a huge success! We had over 30 people come meet us underneath the Chicago Reader Living Gallery (read: huge rainbow tent in the middle of the festival field at 6pm on Saturday!! Thank you all for coming!

Ok, not last! I’ve been tweeting every spare second I have… and people are noticing! It’s been super fun for me, and I’ve tried to think about what festival fans want to see from the official twitter stream, so my plan is to share the pictures and the love with those that can’t be here, and I’m also trying to soak it all in, we’ve worked so hard on every aspect of this festival for months and it is so rewarding to see it come to life! So needless to say I was super happy to see this feedback this morning… it will keep me going strong for day three of North Coast Fest!
Praise for @NorthCoastFest twitter stream!
Personalization is what twitter is all about! @NorthCoastFest gets that!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading the tweets and tweeting with me/us, and for coming to the inaugural North Coast Music Festival! See you in a few hours for day three, gotta rest my thumbs!
