Rife went to VYBE this weekend and had an amazing time – some of us even managed to get in the powder paint fight… We’ve been looking forward to VYBE ever since we got a sneak peak into the planning process months ago, and got really excited about bringing our Gif booth along to show everyone what Rife magazine is about.


The gifs starting coming in immediately…

And we were off everywhere tying out everything VYBE had to offer!

Fresh Flowerz finished their performance and came to say hello!


And then more of the amazing performers turned up:


Throughout the entire day Ryan and Shanai were going around with the Rife camera getting interviews and shots of everything going on; look out for the video soon!


INTO THE SHAAAAAADE 

And then they came to say hello!

And then the Queen’s Lieutenant had a go AND IT WAS AMAZING:

But we all knew what everyone was most excited about…


YES.
