After Kanye's set was moved to late night, Ben Folds time was moved to later - of course that did not reflect in the book but it was on the website the night before. That was fine by me because I got to see some of BB King and Ben Folds

When I was at RR, some guy was saying that they cancelled Israel Nation. He was really upset, and kept saying how much he wanted to see that show. My bf informed him that they just moved the set to the Other Tent ( I think). Man, that kid looked so sad. My bf said he was debating telling him, but he wanted him to know that they at least didn't cancel his show.

I've almost always had set delays. At least 5 minutes. It seems like they never start on time........but it's usually not too bad. Sometimes it'd get annoying.

That would be Israel Vibration. Yes, they were moved to the Other Tent, too late to have it reflected in the book. The website was correct and the schedules on the Information Boards around Centeroo actually had them playing both locations simultaneously. Only Kanye was big enough to get his changed set time posted for all to see however.

Awwww, sheeeeeitt, really? That was a big conflict for me, but I wasn't about to miss a moment of BB King. Had I known, I'd have headed over to see him before Jack Johnson.
It was definitely more of an issue this year than in years past.
Of course, Kanye kind of tainted my impression. Plus, there was his announced switch which definitely messed some people up. You'd think that they'd be able to hand out photocopied schedules at the gates with the changes but the people who were handing out guidebooks when I arrived had no idea anything had changed, including Kanye. Then again, they were just volunteers and are only as good as the tools that they had to work with.
^^true, but it'd take a fair while to print all those new schedules up, and it would really go against all their greening efforts. However, I do wish they would've announced Ben's new set time on the same posterboards where they posted the Kanye late-night change.
