Virgin Free Fest returning to Merriweather

[i am gay and i like cats]

when youre around the power that is seth and what he creates . . . how could one not be?

[sonickteam]

if it was a yes he would have answered

point is that people love to wax poetic about things they didn't actually support

like when people bemoan sports teams leaving that they never went to see

too many people like that is what ended pimlico

Pimlico was nice because you could go inside the grandstand and use the bathrooms and never have to wait in line.  Besides the line-ups being better. Plus I could park on someones lawn right in front of Pimlico and get in and out pretty quickly. 

 I would like a 3 day festival in the area that could rival the biggest festivals in the country. Maybe that isn't realistic.  I went to the first day of the first All Points West Festival and thought that the festival was awesome.  I guess others didn't think so as that festival ended as well.  Anyway Newport is great and I guess is the best 3 day festival we will have in the North East.  It seems the area can only support a smaller festival.

Firefly Festival was not too shabby at all.  Sure they have a few improvements to make before they rival Coachella, Roo or ACL/Lolla but its coming along nicely, i think....

Listening to Chvrches.. Liking what I am hearing.

[Here's the thing]

Okay, am I crazy, or did we get an email or text about something thru FWB for Freefest? I can't find the message, so maybe I was dreaming. Maybe it was wishful thinking.

By the way, thanks, Seth, for FreeFest, Colin Meloy, and NMH. Lots to look forward to in the months ahead.

seth . . . a cuddlebear or wild stallion, in bed?

is that code for top or bottom?

i bought tickets to the Pimlico shows and i would love to see them back.

  i like MPP and i like Free but i wouldn't mind paying for a higer quality lineup at a more "festival like" place.   IMP is the best promoter out there in my opinion and its a shame they havent found the right outlet to put on the east coasts biggest music festival...

I, too, loved (and greatly miss) the Pimlico shows but I do very much enjoy Freefest.  Until this year I had only missed one of each format (2006 by choice....wasn't lucky enough to score tix to 2011).

Not going to back to SXSW next year......would love to have a big event in my backyard to replace that event.

no code, except basic human code, to whether you are a loving romantic in the bedroom . . . or a wild out of control freak.

and one more thing . . . i will never ever compare nissan to merriweather again.  even though nissan is so easy for me to get to, and getting in an out is cake compared to cluster fuck that is merriweather; at nissan, the kind cops herd your vehicles afterwards with cones all the way to sixty six.  but the beer.  the beer i say is the tipping point.  who is nissan catering to . . . who you say?  well, ill say, and that is rednecks who think heineken and corona are the "fancy beers."  good lord does merriweather know how to cater to people who like good beer at a show.  and the food is better too.  so thank you.

Merriweather is a beautiful facility, everything that Bristow is not.

Nissan never has any bands that I want to see.  Most of the bands booked to MPP are bands I would want to see.

OMG, is it just me or is it getting warm in here?

[atomicfront]

hes sonic . . . the boards complete mystery figure

He pretended to be a chick on the Lolla board a long time ago.  He had a hot chick in his photo and these guys were all flirting with him.  Then they find out he is a dude and he got a lot of backlash.  Weirdo for sure. 

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Pre-sale emails sent out. Thursday at 12pm for pre-sale. Regular on sale is Friday at noon.

I mean... On free....

[atomicfront]

Is anyone trying to get tickets for this today?  People don't seem very excited. 

[killsaly]

I have a note on my desk to grab two tickets at noon.

I am Very excited! (just working...)

[kosmo vinyl]

I'm so excited I was trying to get them yesterday
