whew...had to get a cup of coffee for that one...
The biggest reason we don't release schedules is because they're not finalized until pretty late...just finished V Fest this week and will put it out shortly
other than that, as you will soon see, it will inspire a cacaphony of forum complaints, with people taking great pride in demonstrating their other-worldly hipness by declaring how inconsiderate it was to have their personal discovery band overlapping with another, or how positively unbearable it might be to have 2 bands on at the same time that they have long since abandoned due to commercial success, thus giving them nothing to do for an hour and be forced to walk around & socialize
followed by the usual declarations of how they are abandoning our local event in favor of travelling to see Daft Punk
all of which greatly amuses me, as people are actually so sheep-like in their strive to prove different
lighten the fuck up and enjoy life I say to the aforementioned
in & out priveleges...where do I begin...
it's hard enough getting everyone in the first time without having to do it over & over
then, of course, there's the scam factor
and where is it that people need to go exactly?
can't be for anything good but, if there is a legitimate reason, we try to listen and make exceptions, but understand that someone needing to go out for an illegitimate reason is going to tell us otherwise so, of course, that ruins the trust for everyone
in terms of food & beverage sales, we absolutely count on that to pay for everything so, no, we cannot afford to lose that opportunity...sorry, that's just life in a capitalist system...and we are not subsidized by the Park Service like Wolf Trap
so when you are hoisting that cold one, think of it is going towards your favorite band
or, if you want to be miserable, dwell on how it as paying for the one you wish wasn't playing
we're going to try to do everything we can to make sure that people coming to the show have a great time, and that the ones who don't realize they fucked up
it will be fun I promise
