As you can tell from my last post, Free Press Summer Fest was a blast! We love working them, spreading the love, and having a great time doing it. One of our favorite things to do is launch our SLT balloons into the crowd during some sweet shows! I was just passed along the photo above from the TheLoopScoop.com. How pretty is that! Check out the video below, @TEddingston made, to see the awesomeness of balloon launching at Free Press!

Enjoy – @SweetLeafDanny

Wow! I’m just now getting my feet back under my body after Free Press Summer Fest 2011. 2 words to describe the festival: HOT and TRILL.

Houston hit record highs while the SLT tea’m and I were there…. 102º with 70% humidity = sweat fest. Lucky for the fest goers, we had some ice cold bandanas to hand out to keep them cool on the outside and tea to keep them chilled on the inside.

Other than the heat, FPSF was an amazing time! We set up our Sweet Spot Oasis next to the main stage with our Sweet Snaps photobooth each day and got some great photos of everyone that came out!  Ty, our old SweetLeafIntern, was working the camera and SweetLeafCharla was choreographing!

Now to the music, the top 3 shows of the fest:

Bun B and Big Boi stole the show for me.  Bun B, being from Houston, brought the crowd to their feet and got their hands waving.  Then Big Boi jumps on stage and the UGK crew was live.  Playing hits like International Players Anthem, Big Pimping, Shutterbug….they put on a show to remember.

Weezer With their last album making me a little weezy…they did not disappoint!  They kicked off the show with Sweater Song and played hits like El Scorcho, Say it Ain’t So, and Hashpipe.  They were animated on stage and they rocked. Definetly one of the best live shows I’ve seen in a while!

Chromeo Something about Night by Night live and the energy it creates in the crowd is awesome.  See below.

We had a great time at Free Press Summer Fest, and it was a great way to kick off the Summer Sweet Leaf Festival Season. Stay tuned for more giveaways, contests, and great stories!

Keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for more chance to win. This is definitely going to be one sweet summer!
