FREEFEST 2011

[JohnQ]

I actually like the lineup a whole lot more than last year's - I'd go for the Black Keys alone.

Too bad about the facebook requirement - not that an account is difficult to get, but it eliminates those of us who work for a living, will be at work on Friday, and whose employer blocks access to social media sites like facebook.  Guess I'm s.o.l.

It's called vectro proxy. Look into it. Or don't and fuck off.

I tried looking up vectro proxy and my employer's security software told me the following:

I'll keep it clean and say only the your are as unhelpful as you are rude.

Book your own music festival.

The fact that freefest is here isn't preventing anybody else from booking their own "improved" festival.

[Well I guess i have a right to complain.  Because to see a decent music festival I have to travel hundred of miles.  This festival used to be pretty decent.

I'm 44. I saw Wilco on their very first tour at the old 9:30 Club. Back when your mother was depriving you of breastmilk and feeding you formula. Of course I'd rather see Wilco.

If you are that fucking stupid to compare the Wilco that played at old 9:30 and contemporary Wilco, your idiocy knows no bounds.

Find a better employer, or don't. You aren't working the clock a Chili's. Tell your employer you have an obligation or something. This bullshit "WAAAAH! I'll be at work, I can't get tickets." Well, make it happen, or don't.

Eh, I tried twice. I don't advise it. Go to this instead, it's free and IMP does it right. Keeping the numbers low enough to be comfortable and keeping the drinks strong (albeit expensive). The last two years were highlights for me, excited about this one. Empire of the Sun, fuck yeah!

[James Ford]

Do you act/talk this rudely offline? If you do, I'd bet you have no more than a few teeth left.

The A.M. era Wilco I saw put on a nice little rag tag alt-country show.

The contemporary Wilco puts on a jawdropping 2.5 hour rock show. And has Nels Cline on guitar.


Both had their appeal, but if you had actually seen both, you'd know that the contemporary show is better.

Sethy was on dc101 this morning talking about vfest and the lineup.  He talked about how the boards are and how people would complain.  Also talked about brazilans waxing or something

Do they play any of the artists playing the festival on DC 101?

Patti Smith seems to be the "headliner" according to Pollstar.

Speaking of free last time I saw her was for free at the Kennedy Center.. Also twice at the 930..

wonder if Lenny Kaye is in her band..

[James Ford]

Um, yeah. They're going to have a 60 year old woman who is 30 years past her heyday as the headliner of a festival geared toward a younger crowd. Not.

Patti Smith is the less fun plug in for the Joan Jett slot from last year.

Patti Smith's name is listed first and is the only in bold in the pollstar listing. She is the "headliner"...


having said that I agree with everything you wrote..

All I know it's a whole lot better than fucking HFStival that you have to pay for... Minus Dr. Dog and Avett Bros

[James Ford]

Put those two bands on the Freefest lineup and I'd be all over the tickets.

Queue the TMUL hissy fit over what lame taste I have.
