Bag Monster at High Sierra

The High Sierra Music Festival up in Quincy, CA was a blast this last weekend; I had such a great time! There were great bands, great people, and great times to be had. I made a few friends and spread the message of single-use bags but unfortunately had quite a few run-ins with the pesky ChicoBag Company.

I mingled with some cool musicians like Dr. Dog (below), got a little bit of stage time after the Tea Leaf Green performance and even had time to relax in an early morning Yoga class!

A ChicoBag representative was there educating people on the harms of single-use bags and was giving away compact, reusable ChicoBags as an alternative. Don't people realize I will cease to exist if they continue to use reusable bags?













Everyone waltzed around proudly carrying their ChicoBags with them. Even big wig, Casey Lowdermilk (left) proudly carried his ChicoBag around with him. The hopeful ChicoBag representative (above) snuck a few ChicoBags into my plasticy layers in hopes that I would change my ways and kick my single-use lifestyle.

Feeling slightly discouraged, and somewhat insulted by the overwhelming number of reusable ChicoBags around, I knew I had to get on stage to spread the word of Bag Monsters. The colorful and compact ChicoBags I was given earlier were eating away at my plastic core - I had to get rid of them!

I got on stage and unloaded the ChicoBags on the crowd who went wild for them - not exactly the reaction I was hoping for! It wasn't a total loss, I did manage to get a few good words in on the wonderful attributes of plastic bags...













I was exhausted after my stage time and thought I would sneak out to find some relief from the sun. I was greeted by a glorious pool of water! As you know, I love swimming in rivers and oceans! I hopped in and started to relax when out of nowhere ChicoBag fans attacked!!I barely escaped and figured I should gather my things and be on my way soon...these people were serious about fighting single-use!
