well... at least it'd be closer to DC.

If it's at Merriweather count me in for APW.

Unless they have some of the mid hitters from APW.

[K8teebug]

It would be awesome if it moved to Merriweather!  I could walk

I agree, or at least count me out for Vfest. Not GA = festival suckage.

[Got Haggis?]

i would much rather the festival be in baltimore city than howard county...ugh.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I saw the travelling version of the Newbury Folk Festival at Merriweather about ten years ago, and it was two stages, general admission.

If it's at Merriweather count me in for APW.

as long as there is a dance tent, count me in.

why would there not be a dance tent ??  the dance acts have always been what seperated VFest from APW - I thought APW was supposed to be the East Coast verion of Coachella, but given the non-inclusion of dance acts/dj's it has yet to impress me in the slightest.   

[walkonby]

i like to dance too

Oh I totally agree, I just fear that because of the economy and the possible change of location to MPP, it could also mean a scaled-down version of the festival. Seeing Underworld, Moby, Ritchie Hawtin, and RitM last year was what really made V-fest stand out for me.
