The 23rd concert of 2018 #Kelsi100Concerts
100 concerts in one year...the challenge is on! If you have no idea WTF I'm talking about, click here for the full scoop. Alright guys, this is going to be the realest concert post ever & it's going to get really gross. On the last day of Ultra, I checked out of my hotel and decided to grab a bite to eat. I went to a random pizza place and got a personal pizza. Before I could even finish my meal I had to go...ya know #2! I had gallbladder surgery a few months ago, so I was like okay maybe that didn't sit well, whatever. Off to Ultra I went and started the day off by catching Matoma's set on the main stage.
It was a freaking gorgeous day at Ultra! Honestly, it was the first year I went and it didn't rain at all. I was super stoked for the day and walked around a little bit more. Then posted this gem! Yup, I was running my mouth talking about how much of a festival warrior I was and then it happened....
I started to feel really sick after posting the picture above. My stomach was cramping so much & I legit didn't know which end it was going to coming out! I attempted to walk it off and caught Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano set. After a while I was like damn, I need to get out of the sun something is 1000% wrong with me
For the next couple of hours, I sat in the a/c and started drinking lots of water. I knew something was wrong but I'm the queen of being stubborn. How could I leave Ultra on the last day especially with Swedish House Mafia closing? I had an interview at 6:30 with GTA and was trying to at least stay until then. All of the sudden, I started to get dizzy and had to hit the bathroom AGAIN! After another hour, I was now REALLY sick and was ready to go. Being stubborn, I was like wtf you didn't even get to see that many sets today, so I hung out for a little bit with Dash Berlin
At this point, I should have left hours ago and was beyond sick. I don't know how I made it to an Uber or even to my car. I could barely walk at this point. The cramping was unbearable. I finally made it to my car and jetted home. You know that feeling when your mouth starts watering and you know you're about to puke? Yeah, that's what was happening as I'm driving on 95. About 8 months ago I got a brand new car and there was no way in hell I was puking in it. I'm flying with my head tilted up trying to make it off the Palmetto Park exit. Nope, I pull over in the grass and throw up on both side of my car.
My hair, my sandals and shirt are all covered with puke! Luckily, I had a towel in my car. Looking like a hot mess, I'm now on the side of 95 wiping throw up out of my hair. Then I decided to try and hunch down on the side of my car to change my shirt as all these cars are passing by. I felt a little bit better and the thought crossed my mind to turn around an go back to Ultra. I mean, I had to cancel an interview with GTA, miss my boy David Guetta AND the Swedish House Mafia reunion! As much as I wanted to go back, I respected my body and headed home. Good thing because I spent the night dealing with food poisoning and having everything come out of both ends! If you missed the reunion like me, here's a little taste of the magic that went down....
One of my favorite things about Ultra is the stages. Below are a few more random photos from the day!
