IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY(S)
LAST YEAR'S TWO-DAY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FESTIVAL WAS SUCH A HIT, IT HAS BALLOONED INTO THREE DAYS
HEADLINED BY MASSIVE STARS AND JAM-PACKED WITH EVENTS. HERE'S HOW TO NAVIGATE IT.
BY JOHN KATSILOMETES
Rehan Choudhry has been wearing a gray sweatshirt around the often-
cluttered but imaginatively fertile offices of Life Is Beautiful. The shirt's
message:
YOU AR E BEAUTIFUL.
Many of his fellow life beauticians have taken to wearing these shirts.
"It's bright. Happy. Warm. Inclusive," Choudhry says. "It's for people who
we call 'experience enthusiasts,' and that includes just about everyone."
The far-f lung festival of music, food, art, and, yes, spiritual expansion
takes root for a second year in downtown Las Vegas from October 24
to 26. The celebration has been augmented by one day, and the music
lineup is a killer (if not the Killers) once more: Kanye West, Foo Fighters,
OutKast, Lionel Richie, Fitz & the Tantrums, the Flaming Lips, the Roots,
Skrillex, Arctic Monkeys, and the return of Vegas natives Panic! At the
Disco. Also appearing will be members of the Las Vegas Philharmonic,
accompanied by the cast of
The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil.
