so how did we like the V Fest

[SPARX]

Everybody is going on about the Iggy show.
 Wasn't it the Stooges? I know Iggy garners lots of attention but give the musicians some props somebody. Anybody have that setlist? It would be much appreciated. Was it heavy on solo material?

was this really a problem for you?

Maybe Seth will call in the DEA to patrol the grounds next year just for him.

I've been to plenty of festivals and concerts, and it has never been this bad. Even Phish at the Hampton Coliseum didn't have as many pot smokers.
 
 Of course I don't want every pot smoker prosecuted or anything drastic, but when I can't enjoy 2 or 3 of the bands because I'm getting high on second-hand smoke from all around me, then there's a problem.
 
 And I second the notion to bring Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder was amazing tonight at the Warner Theater.

The snake disagrees with this idea.

People can't get high off of second hand smoke.  Well I can't personally.  You can have 20 people toking up in front of me which pretty much happened at all the festivals this summer and I never got a contact high so who knows.

Awesome weather this year!  Great booking job with mother nature Seth.
 
 The good:  Iggy, NIN
 
 The bad: Lil Wayne and Lil Wayneâ??s entourage
 
 The ugly: Chuck.  I think he forgot how to play the guitar

Contact highs are as likely to happen as acid permanently remaining in your spine after a trip.

I'm sick of all you racist crackers bitching about Lil Wayne.

Two things I wanted to share:
 
 1. Scott Weiland during STP's set paid the festival a pretty great compliment about how it reminded him and the band of the different music festivals in Europe.
 
 All I can say is that I totally agree with him. Though I've never been to any of those festivals, I have watched footage from Glastonbury, Big Day Out, and Reeding. I definitely feel that V-fest in Baltimore is the closest thing we have in the states to what the Brits and even the Australians have. I know Virgin is a British based company so it would make sense for the festival to have this sort of vibe. I just have to say to keep that up.
 
 2. During the festival, I met a woman and her 12 year old son. They came all the way from California for the festival. The woman told me that it was their summer vacation. I think that also speaks as to how awesome the festival is. The fact that this mother and son traveled all the way from LA to attend and they made it their vacation is pretty amazing.
 
 ps- I know this isn't really about the festival, but I would say that NIN needs to visit DC again sometime this fall. I noticed that they're playing Charlottesville and then a few days later, they're in New England. I figure why not get them to play in between those two dates.

Ha I live in Charlottesville and didn't know they were coming to town.  Should be another great show with them.

I agree about the vibe, but the one festival in the US that comes closest with recreating the festival "vibe" that European ones have is, without a doubt, Coachella. Also, Bonnaroo should also get mention. Coachella is more chilled out than V-fest is hands down. People from all over the world travel to it.

You've been pretty consistent about Lil' Wayne.
