Same weekend as Pitchfork.

But Free  
 
 I went the first year, and it was really fun.  It got super crowded, but it was still a good time.

[sonickteam2]

yeah, its free but driving, parking and the crowd is quite a pain.
 
 the super cheap beer is nice and it also cool to hang on the beach when it gets hot.

Psst...
 
 But if you were to drive, it's much closer than Chicago...

I bet i could fly to Chicago faster than you can drive to Coney Island!

That's if your flight doesn't get cancelled...
 
 Topical ZING!

[you be betty]

or Vamoose, cause Bolt is only $1 if you book mad far in advance.  I've made it to the city in less than four hours on Vamoose.
 
 I'll be at Siren Fest unless I have to work that day, and I'm psyched for BSS.

[xneverwherex]

ill be there and possibly volunteering there. hopefully its not as hot as last year - i ended up so sunburned  

[imaginarycolors]

The event I look forward to every year, best excuse to NYC

[Vas Deferens]

this year's lineup is very weak. BSS should be good though.

[amnesiac]

Islands and Ra Ra Riot just added to the lineup...

[anarchist]

the first year was crowded? not like mia.

[sweetcell]

yup, i'm in.  if anyone wants to stop by my place on the way in, or crash afterwards, send me a PM    
 
 do they really crowd people into such a narrow alley?  can't they find somewhere bigger/wider?
