April 5th marked the third and final day of One Big Holiday 7 — and honestly, it all felt like a blur.

The day followed a familiar and welcome rhythm: more time on the beach with our friends, soaking up the last of the good vibes, salt air, and shared laughs. Then it was time to clean up, rinse the sand away, and get ready for the final night of music.

This night’s theme was Disco Ball Night, and while I kept things relatively tame, I still leaned into the fun. I rocked a silver sequin fedora, a disco ball necklace, and a “Mayor of Funky Town” t-shirt — a subtle nod to the spirit of the evening. It wasn’t the most outrageous outfit I brought, but it felt right.

The show itself? A flash of light, sound, and energy. Before I could even take it all in, it was over. As I stood there walking back to the condo, I remembered something Jim James once said about performing — how it’s all such a blur. One moment he’s walking on stage, and the next he’s walking off, not entirely sure where the time went.

I get that. Watching My Morning Jacket is like stepping into another dimension for a while — time doesn’t really move the way it normally does. It’s immersive, intense, emotional, and then suddenly… it’s done.

One Big Holiday 7 is officially in the books. And while the shows may be over, the memories — even the blurry ones — are here to stay.
