festival

Coachella season showed up and took a steaming, glittery, bright multi-colored, rose petaled dump on our news feeds. It is a Basic Fest like none other; the peak of superficial absurdity, where influencers roam the festival grounds to hunt down the perfect place for a well-lighted pic that might garner them enough likes to clear a hearty paycheck, and/or envy from their "friends." Sit back and enjoy the circus getting roasted by these scathing, and hilariously accurate tweets. 

With the Fyre Festival awareness movement running at full speed on social media, and other places like Netflix, the memes honoring the iconically terrible, lit festival that never was...have never been spicier. If you know anything about the festival, you are likely to enjoy the hell out of these. 

Coachella has released their lineup for this year, and twitter was there with their response. People thought up some pretty interesting and specific acts. Not much of a Coachella person, but would pay to see Sandra Bullock in a blindfold, just kinda wandering around.

Kukur Tihar is our new favorite holiday! Kukar Tihar translates to the worship of dogs. Once a year in Nepal, all Nepalese dogs (home-owned and stray) receive a royal treatment! In Hindu religion, the dog is a sacred animal and are the animals that accompany us on our way to heaven -- so once a year the Nepalese dedicate a day to mankind's most loyal friend and guardian. 

During the festival, each dog gets a flower garland called a "malla" placed around their neck and their forehead is painted with a red-colored powder called "talik" or "tikka". This mark symbolizes their sacredness. 

Of course, the best part -- the feast! Various goodies ranging from cookies and fruits to cheese, meat and high-quality dog food.

And that's not all! All dogs, home-owned, stray, and police dogs then partake in a special march that marks the occasion. 

Enjoy some pictures below of the best day in Nepal!

Money still can't buy taste or sense...

Another year, another MDMA-sprinkled sunstroke set to a sad soundcloud rapper or art rock soundtrack. Yes, Coachella season is here again. Being stuck in the desert with 10,000 Free People models, irrelevant celebrities and their f*ckboys is NOT our idea of a good time. We prefer to mock the scene - with memes.

Fall is a season of harvesting, and festivals to celebrate it are currently taking place all over the world. In Northern Japan, the Wara Art Festival recently rang in the September-October rice season, and it's a wildly inventive and fun way to repurpose rice straw left over from the harvest.

CatCon is an annual celebration of cats and the cat aesthetic, all of which has developed out of pure passion and love for feline pets. People gather each year in southern California for the big event. This year's third annual feline frenzy brought 15,000 cat lovers together for a weekend of fun and frolic at the Pasadena Convention Center on August 12th-13th. Attendees participated in experiential marketing, explored new products and fashion for both themselves and their four-legged furriends, and met with some of the most famous internet cats in the world.
