You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

Well, to be fair, I haven't been to a lot of others, but for one its in Austin and more laid back crowd wise than ACL. Another plus is that all aftershows are free and they will bring in bands that aren't already on the lineup. The comedy is usually top notch and will be announced soon. There is no line for comedy like at Bonnaroo so I actually catch some of it. They also have fun stuff like Master Pancake Jukebox and National Air Sex Championships. It's just a great time and easy to navigate.

Television is still a performing unit?! I figured this would be a reunion gig but a visit to their wikipedia page tells me they've been active since 2001! I've never seen them on fest lineups or announce tour dates? Hope this is a sign of more to come and same goes for the Replacements Riot Fest gigs.

Man that's like trip hop heaven. XXYYXX, Shlohmo, Bonobo, RJD2, AND Tycho? Jesus if Bonnaroo got even half that list next year I'd be a very happy camper.
Hope we get some good crossovers for Voodoo because I can't afford to do FFF this year. If I lived within a 5 hour drive of Austin, I would be at this fest every year. It really sucks that this is same weekend of Bear Creek this year. Hope it's not like that every year from now on.
I completely blew it on that guess the fest thing. Only got like 2 right...Mac DeMarco and Deerhunter. I thought for sure they'd get Baroness since they couldn't play last year due to accident. Blew it on many others because I got the weekend confused with first weekend of Nov when looking at tour dates. Can't believe they got Slayer again. Hopefully they won't play a the same time as Jurassic 5.

Yeah, it was called PIP last year and it included 10 beers a day (beers could be subbed for red bull, water etc and beer selection was terrible), free lunch and dinner (food was meh), and there was an elevated viewing platform near the back area of black stage that we really never used. They did have two PIP areas on opposite sides of festival that were shaded and was a good chilling spot to down beers, drop a deuce, etc. You could only get your food at the one near the yellow tent though and that area was much bigger than the one near the black stage. Overall, I would still say it was worth it and I would do it again...especially if they made improvements. The custom chrome fanny pack is nice and I have actually used it at other festivals, but the year before they had a custom chrome backpack and it was much more awesome. This year it's called USP:
it doesn't give specifics on whether or not the alcohol/food is free and how much you can get, but I would imagine they would but maybe not as much considering it's cocktails and craft beer this time. $325 is cheap for VIP though compared to all other festivals and if you don;t have anywhere to go and stay inside the fest the whole time like we did, I would definitely recommend it.
