For Jacob Jurinek, seing rapper Travis Scott headline the first Astroworld Festival in Houston seemed like the perfect way to celebrate his upcoming 21st birthday.
对于雅各布·朱利内克来说，看到说唱歌手特拉维斯·斯科特在休斯顿的第一届天文世界音乐节(Astroworld Festival)上亮相似乎是庆祝他即将到来的21岁生日的完美方式。
So the Naperville, Ill., native and his best friend, Franco Patio, who was 21, saved up for the trip “for months,” says Franco’s older brother Julio Patio Jr.
因此，伊利诺伊州内伯威尔市的本地人和他最好的朋友、21岁的弗兰科·帕特里(Franco Patio)为了这次旅行攒了“好几个月”，弗兰科的哥哥小胡里奥·帕特里(Julio Patio Jr.)说。
“Franco was very excited. He was telling all his friends and family, ‘I’m going to see Travis Scott!’”
