hfstival cancelled

[andyrichter]

as if anyone really cared, the fall hfstival was cancelled, my guess is due to poor ticket sales and could you blame the people looking at that awful lineup?  so uh, in the words of my boy nelson from the simpsons, ha ha!

Your assumption is correct

"WHFS is having some serious second thoughts about the first ever fall version of its HFStival,"
 
 They had a fall version of HFStival back in like 1999

That's not good, there'll be mass demonstrations in the area middle schools I'm sure.

how am i ever going to live without seeing Staind?
 
 shit

[poorlulu]

hopefully it will make them reconsider the shit they play and promote...............
 
 naaaaah that's just crazzzzzy talk..........they are much more likely to find another reason for the lack of ticket sales........................

[mankie]

..or they'll just have the next one before the kids go back to school.

cancelling the hfstival is the best thing that they could have ever done.

  "Due to a scheduling conflict..."

That's probably because TicketBastards don't want to stop the influx of non-refundable service charges. Fuckers!   :mad:

You know, this all makes me a little sad.  I don't want the HFStival to go away completely, I just want it to be good again.  It was good for a number of years in the mid to late 90s.  It can be good, there are oodles of other radio alternative music summer festivals that have much better lineups than we've been seeing lately.  Come on, this is D.C., a major market.  Let's sharpen up, here!

bags...the reality is the only stations that would do a decent festival would be a small independant one, unfortunately, thanks to companies like Clearchannel etc. they buy them up and fuck them up. Don't know if they bought HFS but it doesn't matter, it's just teenie-bopper hippity hoppity, rap, limp-dickshit shite all the time regardless of who owns it.

Anyone want to start up a local radio station that plays real music?
