Well it's a sad day to admit no Moog this year. After an honest bit of research, we just decided too much techno, not enough words, to say it simplistically. Talking it over, it felt like I was breaking up with Moog. Hopefully we can get back together next year. Hopefully it sells well, so this won't be the last one.

Was looking through the comments on Moog's facebook page and they posted,"We sold more weekend passes in 6 hours than we sold in the first 6 weeks last year."
So, how is the parking in town for this thing usually? Is it worth just getting a cab if your hotel is more than a reasonable walk away?
Almost ALL hotels are a "reasonable walk" from the venues, if you're not averse to walking more than 6-8 blocks.
Downtown Inn (aka "InfoMoog Party Central") is only 0.5mi from the farthest venue (The Orange Peel), so there's really no need to spend $ on a cab unless it's raining cats & dogs...or unless you're staying somewhere else. And if you ARE staying somewhere else: change your reservation & come party w/the rest of us, where you belong.

Cabs were not readily available last year. We were told very early on, at our hotel just outside of Asheville, to order a cab well in advance. This was fine for getting into Asheville during the day but getting home at the end of the night was more of a pain in the ass.
Believe me, I would have preferred the Downtown Inn, I believe I spilled the beans on that place last year on this forum, actually. When we checked for rooms there yesterday, they were all booked up for that night. We ended up getting reservations at a Motel 6 that's about 6.5 miles away from the Orange Peel.
But, if there's some trick to getting a room at Downtown Inn for Friday night that I'm not aware of, I would be more than happy to oblige.
^ bring a sleeping bag or use someone's air mattress! We're all staying there & some of us only have 1 or 2 in our rooms, so there's floor space aplenty to be had! Problem solved.

I have had very good experiences with cabbing in Asheville. We once stumbled into a bar after a show and the bartender asked us if we needed a cab called for us, we told him yes, and one was there 5-10 minutes later. Soo, if you need a cab, ask a bartender - they know best.

We had a great cabin last year and if you stay at the Homewood suites off tunnel road they have a free shuttle that will take you and pick you up. They picked up a few of us even though tronik was their only guest out of the car full and took us across asheville for free!

I'm staying at Homewood. My buddy has points to blow, and they confirmed the shuttle when we booked!
Looks like Wick-It is making a stop at Y2K tonight, Nashville. I haven't heard too many people discuss his being on the lineup, but he's in town and playing for free if you're interested.
Can someone do me a favor and post the artists by day? everytime I click on the link from the moogfest page it loads then crashes before I get to see it. I hate my laptop.

The notion is appreciated, but we actually got our reservation switched to a place closer to the venue, so there should be absolutely no problem with getting around!
You guys, when did the Moogfest iPhone app update last year? I searched it in the store this morning and it's still the 2011 version. I dont want to download if it's just gonna be a separate 2012 app (like Bonnaroo did to us this year.)

MIIKE SNOW!!! ACL 2010 This was taken by a guy LITERALLY standing to my left. Minute 2:09 the blond dude who's head is in the center of frame is my friend Brentan. Pause it and you can see his wife Meghan next to him. and my SUNGLASSES next to her. Round about minute 3:20 you can see my hand in the lower right corner videoing with my olympus. ;D

^ dude, I *loved* dancing w/y'all at that show! Not sure if I'd gone up closer to try to kidnap Ezra Koenig for a better view, but that vid brings back ALLLLL SORTS O' HAPPY MEMORIES!
^^^RIGHT?! I love finding these videos. I kept pausing and looking ahead of the guy, then he spun around an I paused and was looking behind him - all the while thinking, "man, he is really close to us, we HAVE to be in there somewhere..." And turns out RIGHT next to us. I recognized my hand. ;D
That show was so much fun. Even in the sun! In the like, 79degree weather! Ah, ACL '10. Good times.
