Virgin Music Festival @ Pimlico

[bearman🐻]

For those of us who love Belle and Sebastian, it's better to pay $50 and see them play for 1 hour and 50 minutes because it's a better value than paying $100 to maybe see just a couple of bands we like playing for only 30 minutes. Unless you want to check out like 5 or more bands, it's more worthwhile.

Because, let's face it, the company is better.  It's like the difference between going to a nice restaurant and McDonalds.  I don't know which is worse, hanging out at a race track with useless, balding (but still rocking the ponytail!) baby boomers hoping to "rock out" with The Who or drunken, moron frat boys wanting to see RHCP do "some crazy shit."  I wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with SIX of either of those types of fans, let alone 60,000.

 "The event falls on Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and Pimlico is near Jewish communities in Northwest Baltimore. The director of the city's Office of Neighborhoods is setting up a meeting between the Mount Washington Improvement Association and concert organizers.
 
 A meeting date has not been set, but the president of the association, Mac Nachlas, said he was concerned about public safety, traffic, trash and noise. He said Rosh Hashana is a day of introspection when many people don't drive, and that traffic from the show could be dangerous for pedestrians.
 
 "When Pimlico has concerts, we can hear it quite loudly in our neighborhood," Nachlas said. "Frankly, I'm not sure the Red Hot Chili Peppers are conducive to a day of introspection."
 
 A spokeswoman for Mayor Martin O'Malley said the effect on the neighborhood would be manageable because the event would draw fewer people than the 100,000-plus who attend the Preakness every year."

Well, looks like I officially CAN'T go...now I really miss Hillel Slovak

It makes you just as big of an asshole to stereotype Belle & Sebastian fans, so both of you should shut your yappers.

Haha!  A 16 year old girl is the voice of reason between to adult males.
 
 I love the internet.

i only said that to prove a point. thanks for being so quick on it though      
 
  besides, most of my friends fall into the ugly shoe category, i imagine Brian Wallace has no frat boy friends, and probably never has.
 
 
    and i was just at a B&S show two weeks ago, and saw the majority of the people there walk past me.
   i imagined my stereotype to be MUCH more on target than his.
 
   and lastly, i wont shut my yapper. i will not succomb to the negativity from you people on this event....i wont do it.

#1 It still doesn't make you right.  Stooping down to his level to prove your point against him just makes your argument flawed.  There are plenty of people with very cute shoes that enjoy Belle & Sebastian, and there are plenty of perfectly-well educated young people that enjoy the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  So just calm down.

Belle and Sebastian fans typically wear NIKE basketball shoes?

Belle and Sebastian fans typically wear whatever the fuck they want because they are, like, totally, maybe, kind of, actually human beings.

you make as little sense as me.  my "argument" was exactly what you wrote after writing that my argument was flawed, i just went around the bend by making it, cause i am a smartass.
 
   though, i didnt see many cute shoes at Merriweather.

I second that. Oh, well...I guess I'll have to settle for the VFest in Toronto instead. It's on Olympic Island (no cars = no car jackings) and while they're not getting RHCP or The Who, they are getting Sam Roberts, The Dears, Hidden Cameras, and K'Naan. Seems like a fair trade in my books
