The Treasure Island Music Festival 10th Anniversary

The Treasure Island Music Festival 10th Anniversary

Jeez,

It’s been ten years, where does the time go we ask?

Ten years ago this October BLC (being just a newborn) was asked to come down and serve the artists over the weekend kicking out the jams at the Treasure Island Music festival.A decade later we were back and happier than ever to make sure the artist compound had snacks all weekend. Its without a doubt one of the pleasures of my career to be asked time and time again by Another Planet Entertainment and, in this case, Noise Pop to provide a creative afternoon feast for the artist compound.

Every year has been different but all have been noteworthy as a very special way to celebrate summer’s end in SF by partying down on an island in the middle of the bay. Below are a few take-aways from this years event…

Dinner for Adele

This time of year we get really busy and a lot of great things happen around the BLC&K compound that do not get broadcast to the outside world. Although we are constantly looking forward to our next event I thought it would be slightly amiss…
