If three days of sitting in the desert heat at Southern Califor- nia’s Coachella Music Festival is too much for you to handle, then San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival might be a much cooler alternative to consider. Set in foggy Golden Gate State Park, the two-day festival, featuring music, food, wine and art, is like Disneyland for the music junkie. With three stages, a wine garden, food supplied by local restaurants, a market place and even a dance club inside a lit up dome, festival-goers from all walks of life were surely en- tertained during the festival’s third annual run on Aug. 14 and 15.
