Back on the blogging bandwagon permanently now, I promise. A large part of why I so embarrassingly failed at blogging the past few weeks has been due to the start of the summer classes. Adjusting to such a sudden change in routine has always been difficult for me and I finally feel like I'm at the point where I can juggle classes, blogging and have some form of a social life. So, apologies for the delays, folks, but here goes..
If you ever research Rochester and its annual events, the two ever dominant are the International Jazz Festival (which I will, hopefully, be attending later this month) and the Lilac Festival. The Lilac Festival is a family and environmentally friendly festival that celebrates all that Rochester and surrounding areas have to offer. The event itself is held at Highland Park, which is a picturesque setting filled with gardens, rolling hills, open spaces and, quite obviously, all things lilac. All events feature impressive arrays of foods and drinks as well as talented performers from across the globe. There are still events going on in the area linked to the Lilac Festival. If you can, do not miss this opportunity to see some fantastic musicians.
The Lilac Festival is a necessity for anyone in the Rochester area. The highlights for me were definitely Rusted Root and corn dogs (I would eat these daily). Note to the mother: We must find these or at least ingredients to make these when I'm back in the homeland!

MCC Vocal Concert.
May 2014.
 |
| Soundcheck |
Featuring multiple solos from ridiculously talents students, the vocal ensembles truly impressed. Sure, there were moments of weakness among every group but the overall atmosphere presented, especially by the final two groups overshadowed any of these.

As usual, any decent concert must be followed by a lengthy drink and food session at a local establishment. The group, this time, being split between Buffalo Wild Wings and TGI Fridays, it can be safely said that the night was seen off in style.
Vocals (killed). In-audience dancing (nailed). Drinks (demolished).
