Moog and Lolla are completely different festivals. The only thing they share in common is the city aspect, and that's even a stretch considering how big the difference in size between the cities is.
But yes, I would definitely rather attend Moog than Lolla, lineup aside.
I wish there was a shuttle from the campgrounds to the city.
That would be a good idea. I usually enjoy camping festivals more in general, but Asheville is a crazy enough place in general that this works well. What campsite are you using? I was planning on camping this year until a buddy of mine ended up moving to Asheville a few months ago and offered up his couch.
I also second Animal Collective showing up. They'll be there at some point. Panda Bear was there last year. I missed the show for something else because I was really drunk, and that show is not something you see while drunk. Generally city festivals are more of alcohol festivals as opposed to camping festies, but this one had a pretty good mix last year. The drunk people went to the party shows (Sleigh Bells, Girl Talk, Big Boi, etc.), and the shows where belligerent screaming people detract were actually pretty devoid of that. I thought the festival, despite it's few bumps like the floor where I was standing almost collapsing Sunday night, went over more smoothly than some other city festivals I've been to. Not to hate on Lolla, but I liked Moog a lot more- ignoring lineup variations, if that makes sense. I guess I mean the atmosphere in general.
I'm actually not. I'm hoteling it as October is too cold for my blood. I know a few people that the camping makes or breaks it for them. If it was in a festival grounds they would be all for it.
I keep reminding them it's Asheville but unfortunately that makes no difference. BUT I'm excited about my new travel partner and an opportunity to meet up with some more great Inforoosters.
It was fairly chilly last year. I remember I wore two layers of long sleeved shirts so I wouldn't have to keep up with a jacket...and that was only for traveling between the Downtown Inn, the bars, and the indoor venues. Camping could be done, but I'd recommend a serious sleeping bag.

For everyone thinking about lodging options, remember: the Inforoo party is happening at the Downtown Inn! We already have two bartenders...now we just need a DJ. Anyone here want to volunteer?
Just an FYI...according to the website, it looks like the Downtown Inn is now out of rooms with two beds for that weekend. I think I booked the last double bed room last week. They still have rooms with King-sized beds, though, so no big whoop.
