For me, throwing in after parties is a bit much (although it's essentially what I do at SxSW). I'll take a list, but doubt I'll get to any... Of course, that depends on how shitty the weather is. [/b]
I hear ya, the thing about lolla for me is that most shows are unbearable doing the day because of the weather so if you stick it out then you'll be finished for anything afterwards.
Inevitably the smaller bands I want to see are playing early, but at least you can go in/leave/ come back at your leisure. But since the smaller bands play early they're also likely to be doing shows at night as well which works for me because I'm basically a vampire, so I go see a couple of acts say from 5pm on and maybe a headliner if I like them but the after parties are what make this festival appealing at all because face it everyone playing here is playing somewhere else that we're likely to be so the line-up is kind of inconsequential, and for $60 can't really complain I'm missing anything, Daft Punk alone is worth what I'm paying for the entire festival so everything else is gravy.
SXSW is a different story, you end up putting in 20 hour day/nights and that's just a fact of life for 4 days a year. I'm going to be doing some SXSW style shuttling between venues on Saturday night as I'm going to see The Automatic, Juliette & The Licks, and Cafe Tacuba before some late nite DJ action fortunately they're located with 6th Street like proximity so hopefully it'll work out, then Sunday morning I'm Audi.

the automatic played a very short set tonight. 40 mins max. so take that into account when planning their show. im debating on seeing them again, and im pretty sure the keyboard player messed up his leg jumping off some ridiculously high speakers. the show was out of control, insanely wild tonight. one of the guys we were with nearly got tossed from the bowery and i was pretty sure security was so unhappy with us. hanging around a bunch of real drunk brits is always a way for a good time.
anyone know if war tapes has any after party shows there? id def see them again. and i <3 neil, so id gladly go see him again. wonder if his jeans could be any tighter
