And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
The Schedule is announced... but not in schedule form, kind of annoying i saw all the times by high lighting all the artists and checking the stages and times. Perhaps the apps has a better way to visualize this.

I have a wedding Sunday on Walnut Street. Wedding ends at 6:30, skipping the reception and heading straight to the festival in full suit if I have to to see QOTSA and NIN. Told the bride and groom I have "prior engagements," just didn't tell them what they were.
I'm watching this thing on webcast...holy sh*t Flanz, you were going to attend this f*cking thing? I just saw some creature called "Mord Fustang" playing derivative Deadmau5-esque beats while a crowd of brodicks fistpumps in furious fashion.
Not sure if sarcastic or not, but MIA was very well organized last year when I attended (via free tickets won from a local radio station). As for the crowd, it was the most diverse festival crowd I had ever seen.
I'm assuming Sahara? At least Coachella has the decency to segregate this sh*t off, doesn't MIA only have two stages?
4 stages this year. All the EDM acts were segregated to the EDM stage aside from Calvin Harris and Deadmau5. And last night most of the douchie fist pumping EDM bros left after Calvin Harris allowing me and my friends to get extremely close to QOTSA and NIN.

Overall the fest seemed to run smoothly. The few instances I did see someone go down people were helpful and medics were on site quickly. It was a hot weekend and alot of people relied on those water refill stations a little more then they should of. Lines were ridiculous and people were just bum rushing the watertents until security arrived. They ended up taking the hose from on of the misting tents and just using it for refills. A little more then enough shirtless sweaty backed rave bros were on hand sure but stayed at the Freedom Stage for the most part. One thing that struck me was lack of security. They didnt search anybody I was with or seen going through. Only personal bags. Went into the backpack line both days and they said go ahead without checking pockets/waist line. Didnt check water bottles, camel bags, etc. The music was fantastic and a great turnout overall. Alot of diversity in the crowd both days. Highly recommended if you want to spend a weekend in the City of Brotherly Love.
Heres my opinion on how the shows were if ya couldnt make it out to Philly this year.
NIN- Bonnaroo 2014 What Stage Please. They made alot of fans that night from crowd chatter I overherd. Deadmau5- Was typical and a little on the darker side which he can do sometimes. (BTW alot of the drunk fistbumpers had NO idea what deadmau5 was and were waiting a very long hour for a bassdrop. Calvin Harris- Fantastic experience and set. My personal weekend making set. Porter and Wolfgang - Both epic in their own right and I like Wolfgang a little more on tape. But live Porter killed it. GTA and TJR - Both surprisingly good. They both played mixes on top of their own material. But TJR I will see everytime he comes around. Mrs. Carter- Fantastic voice, dance routines, the band was great. She is great at what she does. Philly girls ages 5 to 65 were out Sat. night for her. (Majority of guys I seen were either A] Stuck boyfriends or B} Knew that Jay Z was coming out.) Mord Fustang- First show of the weekend cant complain. Not the dubstep dubstep dubstep DJ I thought he was. Feed Me- He started great. Started getting dubstepy. People Moshed. See what the dubstep brings...tisk tisk Rudimental- Impressive live set. Full band had the crowd going.
Next on the agenda, Pretty Lights. Playlist activated.
From the sounds of it, this is an electronic festival with mainstream acts too? I thought Queens of the Stone Age and Phoenix and Public Enemy and Empire of the Sun played? Anyone catch them any of them?

NIN was awesome, it was my first time seeing them although I've been in to them for years. (I'm pretty young, and back when they were touring in '09 I was pretty sure my parents would NOT allow me to see NIN at like 15/16 years old lol) They completely blew my mind. I can't wait to see them next month again!!! Hopefully they get a LN what stage performance!! I would be so stoked. I completely agree with what you said about Deadmau5... so many bro's and drunk bitches were there, like you said, waiting for the bassdrop. Haha. Before he started I was next to this couple arguing for a half hour because the girlfriend wanted her man to touch/play with her, and he wouldn't because too many people were around. Definitely an interesting crowd haha
"That guy's a kook, you know," Josh Homme said. "He has his security frisking the bands on the way in."
When security asked to look through his bag, Homme threatened not to play the festival. "No one's ever done that," he said of his previous festival experiences. Then, of Jay Z, he said, "You shouldn't frisk my guys, you should fuck off."
He also said that Jay gave the band a bottle of his champagne and asked if they would take a picture with it. "I was like, 'That's not a gift-- that's a marketing tool.' I destroyed it, 'cause I thought it was rude overall."

Considering that barely any festival attendies got patted down this is a little nuts. But if they just got their bags checked I dont see what the big deal is. That just sounds like security protocal. To be fair QOTSA dosnt really live the rich and lavish life like Hov does and I could see the two clashing personality wise. Im sure they were there moreso for the budweiser then Jay Zs friendship.
