What's more chaotic: Uber pricing or wasp attacks? Relive the highs, lows, and laughs of Outside Lands 2024 in San Fran! 🏞️🎶

The buzz around San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival was more than just figurative this year. With 75,000 enthusiastic music lovers flooding Golden Gate Park, the excitement was sky-high—and so were the rideshare prices. Uber, Lyft, and even autonomous Waymo vehicles left attendees scrambling to secure a ride home without breaking the bank. It's been reported that surge pricing reached unprecedented levels, leaving some festival-goers in need of a loan just to get home!

But it wasn't just the demand for transport that had people buzzing. Turns out, the festival saw an influx of yellowjackets—yes, actual wasps! Several attendees reported being harassed by these tiny invaders, especially around the food stalls and benches. Let's just say, the wasps were uninvited guests that gave the term 'festival fever' a whole new meaning.
