Seth, just face it. You love to read us bitching as much as we all love to bitch. :p
To be honest, for a variety of reasons, I doubt that I can make it this year regardless of who plays and what it costs. But that's just me; 1 measly potential ticket. Nothing whatsoever against anything involving the festival. Purely my personal life circumstances, schedules, etc.. Then again, by then, who knows. Either way, because of that, I'm actually hoping that it's full of bands that a lot of people what to see except for me. That way I won't anquish over missing whomever.
I don't have the inside track of what everything costs so it's a bit difficult for me to see how good the price may be. Though it looks about right from what I can tell.
With all that said, I have to admit that I am very proud that the world famous V Fest is being held in Baltimore. We finally got a music festival in our neck of the woods and it's a good one. I want it all to succeed and hoping that as things are worked out, bands that the locals like get booked. Something to make everyone happy. Hopefully, by next year, I'll be able to take the V Fest weekend for myself and it will be something I can afford with bands that I want to see. In the meantime, I'm just hoping everything takes off without a hitch and it proves to be loads of fun for all. I'll settle for my virtual festival high for now and keep my bitching to a minimum.
