I was thinking this, yea... this and Squarepusher are the two that I plan on seeing that I'm most worried about. So, I guess what I'll do is go into EITS, get my fill of that (maybe, maybe not) within a half hour or 45 minutes, then hop over to Hawtin.
Revised schedule for me:
Pantha Du Prince (full set) > Morton Subotnick (full set) > El-P (half set) > Squarepusher (full set) > Blondes (15 minutes or so) > Black Moth Super Rainbow (whatever, if anything, is left) > Explosions In The Sky (half set) > Richie Hawtin (what is left)
For the El-P into Squarepusher deal... how do they do entrance into the venues? Are the venues open at all times if they aren't at full capacity, or do they clear out the venues after a show and start letting people in at a certain time? If they let you in and out freely (assuming it's not at capacity at the time), I may have to end up seeing less of El-P than that. I guess the same would apply to BMSR>EITS.

They don't clear anyone out between sets, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get to Squarepusher early. I bet there is a lot of turnover after Miike Snow, though, so you could still probably safely see a bit of El-P.
TWA is seated, but it's like any GA rock show in a seated venue - people will be standing and there will be a mass of people pressed up near the stage (well, behind the VIP section anyway).
I would probably prefer to see Blondes or Ahleuchatistas to BMSR, but I'm leaning slightly toward the latter just to guarantee a spot for GZA. Orange Peel is a good place for drinking, too.

And, Thomas Wolfe is completely seated, correct?
They do not clear out the venues after shows. You can park it and move in if you want. You can move from Thomas Wolfe to the ACC freely as long as they are not at capacity. TW can get packed for the later shows, then they shut the doors. Only let someone in when someone comes out.
TW is all seating, except for a small space up by the stage for standing. I believe it is VIP.
yes, shoot me your number everyone if you want to be included and i will add you.
(fyi in case you weren't sure, group me is a texting service that responds to everyone on the list. we used one at bonnaroo and it really helped on the trip there and meeting up for stuff. luckily we will be able to charge our phones at night so it should be even more helpful during moog.)
so, Abra just left my house on the way back from Counterpoint...and she was doing the hard sell for me coming to Moog. Honestly, last year I swore I would do it, then the poop hit the fan, so it became a near impossibility, or so I thought. Let's just say that I am considering it. I will have to work some things out, but I am going to consider it a lot more seriously.
We would love to have you at Moog. Good to know Abra is working on it.
Also, about the phone tree, make sure you bring your phone charger and maybe an extra battery. Between tweets from Moogfest/Spaceman for secret shows and Groupme. My battery took a beating last year.
Found this Groupon today...if you have an iPhone 4/4s, its a pretty sweet deal on a battery case. Got good reviews as well. Ill be purchasing one today.

I don't remember the TWA ever reaching capacity the first year. It only was a problem last year when the overall capacity of the festival was larger. I wouldn't be too concerned.

St. Vincent, Flying Lotus, and Battles all hit capacity last year. I know the overall capacity was higher, but I'd still be careful with the bigger acts.

This statement makes me really wish this fest was on my radar last year.
yeah but these did not stay at capacity. i think disco biscuits did the same thing these did. change between acts in the acc caused a capacity for a moment. once the acc act went on, the twa opened up some for flying lotus, st. vincient, and battles plus disco biscuits the year before. actually it was as alex b was playing, but you get the point.

Amount of day doesn't matter. First year I believe it was around 4,500 and last year it was closer to 8,000. Big difference. This year is supposed to be a return to 2010 numbers.
