Virgin Music Festival @ Pimlico

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I agree. We'll actually be in Montreal the first day of the festival, but since my we'll be with my mom, won't be hitting the fest.
 
 I agree with Hoya about Virgin having the big anchor bands. I'd rather see a festival full of critical darlings than a collection of bands designed to attract a wide and casual listening demographic.

if i lived in Montreal , this is a much better deal.
 
 and if i lived in Cali, then Coachella would be a better deal.
 
 i dont get your point here.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Alright, for argument sake, let's say you lived in Nebraska. Or somewhere else where the travel expense to any one of them is equal.
 
 Using your analogy, I guess a vacation at Ocean City would be a better deal than a vacation on the French Riviera.

not if i lived in France!

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Ok, gotcha.
 
 I don't have any interest in a vacation in OC or MB, nor do I want to go to either festival. So perhaps you are "spot on"...as the wannabe hipsters say...in your comparison.
 
 Good for you for being enthusiastic about the Virgin Fest.

 i almost feel stupid....
 
 i cant wait til they open the forum on their site so i can discuss this show with people who are actually going.
 
 and for the record, i wish the lineup was better...but i love festivals and glad i can go to one and sleep in my bed afterwards!

one of my friend bought his tickets on the presale and got the e-tickets and said you were allowed to bring Beer and wine and soda to the show.
 
 now, i am saying 100% thats just not true and they just copied the rules from Preakness, but really...that would be pretty awesome!

fuck rosh hashana, we just have better taste in music and a better sense of a bargain than to shell out $50 more than we should for this festival because two bands we could give a shit about seeing are anchoring the bill
 
   

[Seth Hurwitz]

I would rather it wasn't on Rosh Hashana but this was the only date that worked with the key parties involved
 
 so the choice was simply to move forward, or not
 
 I grew up not being allowed to do things like this on Rosh Hashana although, of course, the rest of the world went on while my family made that choice
 
 when I became an adult I was able to make those choices for myself
 
 If someone finds that faith and tradition is more important than going to a rock concert, then I totally respect that decision, as it is a personal one
 
 I hope that those same people will also respect the decisions that other people make for themselves
 
 let freedom ring
