I guess Markie is.  I think that band Yellowcard must be some sort of English footie band. [/b]

I signed up when I first got here, hfstival used to have things like smashing pumpkins and Beck, bigger American acts that I once liked........
 
 Either I am getting old or HFStival is getting incrementally worse..... I wonder have ticket sales and prices suffered, please say they have to massage my ego. [/b]

I'm in the same prediciment.  Is it me, am I old, or do these lineups suck?  I went to a number of HFStivals in the mid-90s and saw some great bands, both indie and 'mainstream alternative', but they haven't appealed to me in the last four or five years at all.  It's kind of a shame.  Thing is, I don't give a rat's ass about spending $40 anymore, but why waste my time on bands I don't like and fighting the teenage crowds?

Okay, here's where I show my age.  I think this would be incredible, absolutely incredible.  I realize that a bunch of the 80s bands aren't the highest caliber music, but this is all the shit I listened to when I was in high school.  And to throw in one of my current faves like F.O.W. would be awesome.
 
 I understand this is not a stellar lineup, but DAMN I would have fun!

the cure, the furs, interpol, and echo?  some of my very favourite bands...I agree with you bags

[Jaguär]

I'm with you ladies. It may not be my all-time dream festival but I'm sure that I'd leave pleased, unlike that freaking HFStival torturous line-up. One good band - BRMC. That's it!
 
 Thank you Seth for booking BRMC at the 9:30 Club!!!! After skipping this area on their recent "Initmate Tour", I'd have to seek them out and kill them otherwise.

[andyrichter]

eh, i like rancid and the deftones.  but that's about it.

[Guiny]

I would have to agree with you bags.
