Garage Band Fest

[kosmo vinyl]

anyone know how randall's island is setup as a concert facility?  is it an outdoor festival site? does it have a covered ampitheater?  i don't do well in the summer heat all day long without some shelter from the sun.  and august is nyc will probably be brutal humid as well.  
 
 and don't discount the romantics they are kicking it back to thier garage roots... the slick 80's stuff is long gone.

I have been to Randalls Island a number of times, and its NOT any kind of "concert facility".
   Its basically just a big, field-ish place. There arent seats or any kind of permanent stage fixture there. not that I've seen anyway.
   No trees either for that matter. a bif patch of grass is the best way to describe it.
 
   I havent been there in 2 years or so, but i am mostly sure its still that way.  
   
   oh, and port a pots too, i didnt see a real bathroom the few times i've been there.
 
    it was for raves though, so i may have just been a little "hazy" on a few minor details.
