We skipped homecoming!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“It’s homecoming weekend and we skipped homecoming!” exulted Ciara Sentelik, a senior at Roswell High School.
“Like, 10 years from now, we’ll look back and say we went to Echo Fest our senior year, and it was awesome,” chimed in her friend Mandy Owen, also a Roswell senior.
They were part of a loose group of 11 seniors who blew off their big weekend for something they hoped would be bigger, the three day Echo Project festival. Some of them lounged in the warm afternoon sun while music drifted over from a nearby stage. On the 35-acre farm in Campbellton, bass music thudded, girls twirled hula hoops, and little kids danced.
“I was even grounded this week,” added Owen, “and I still go to go. My mom said it would be a great experience.”
“It’s Atlanta’s own Bonnaroo,” said her friend Chris Cundari.
Across the field, Kris Whildin of Gainesville, Fla., watched her 17-month-old daughter Kari twirl on the field. “We weren’t sure what this was gonna be,” she said. “You just never know. But it’s a great space.” She grew up following the Grateful Dead, and was looking foward to Phil Lesh and Friends, a Dead spinoff, closing the festival Sunday night.
