I have a question for everybody...What is your favorite type of venue to see a show? For the most part, here is mine: 1. Club 2. Theater 3. Amphitheater 4. Festival 5. Arena
I have never been to a city fest that utilizes clubs and theaters. That might be the winning combination.

I'd rank my favorite type of venues the same as you except I'd put fests ahead of amphitheater. Most of my favorite shows from this year are based on the intimacy of a small club crowd. I've really grown to enjoy theater shows over the past few years due to the comfort and good sound. I haven't been to an arena show in years before Yeezy and I might put that above amphitheaters also. Even when I was in the upper level the view, sound, and relaxation of having a seat was great. City fests that take place in the surrounding clubs and theaters have disadvantages in that you have to keep moving to different locations. That is not much different than an outdoor fest except what you're trying to go to next may have reached capacity or have a long line for entrance. An advantage to those type of fests, for me, is once again the intimacy. My favorite thing at SxSW was being in a place with only a hundred other people, if that. The band and crowd really connect. Just like with the aftershows at FFF. Seeing Thurston Moore playing two feet in front of you on a slightly elevated club stage is much different than looking up at him on a fest stage with a barricade separating the crowd.
I love them all really. It's hard to pick since there are certain clubs I'd choose over certain theaters and vice versa, plus fest settings I'd rather not see a show at and other fest sites that can make the show rememberable.
I was going to do 1 day, but I had trouble getting out of town and didn't make it. Reality bites.
Sorry, dude, that sucks. Hopscotch really uses the theaters well. They even have a church where they book drone bands, because a church is clearly the best place to see drone bands.
FFF runs until 10, and then there are a bunch of official club aftershows that are included with your festival wristband.
What is FFF like? Is it stages with night club shows?
The fest is on three stages. It's not packed until the headliners, especially on the Orange. I walked right up to the front of Blue expecting to only see a few songs of Ice-T and ended up staying the whole time. I went to Orange before Snoop started but never got within sight range it was so crowded. Black Stage never got too packed and I got a good view arriving late for Slayer the night they played Orange. The comedy tent was ridiculous. The last time I went they had it on a stage. I'm not sure if this is the first time it's been in a tent or if they did it last year. For acts like Tenacious D or Sarah Silverman that thing was overflowing from every entry. I went to see Bill Callahan in that comedy tent however and there was maybe 10 people for the band before him allowing me to get on the rail. He drew a good crowd, but the space of that tent and the quality of his performance helped make that one of my favorites of the fest.
After the fest closes, there are aftershows sprinkled around about a dozen clubs in the city that are all free for festival wristband holders. None of the ones I've been to have ever been too packed and they have some real quality bands playing.
So, FFF is a typical field stage setup, get there early early for big names ( as ususal), and party late in the city. That sounds great. Somewhat related: I just read an article about the Walkmen planning to go watch Thee Oh Sees afterparty after their set, but after a lackluster set, just calling it a night. Then they broke up. I would like to think that that witnessing Thee Oh Sees would have sparked them to stay together. They were a great band. I never knew which way their songs would go, but they always surprised me.
The Walkmen were so good live. Maybe we should write letters to let em know. Saw em at a weirdo one-off fest at Red Rocks called Monolith and they blew me away. Better than the records, which is saying a lot.

I'm just excited to see someone else besides me mentioned Paper Route.
I've loved those guys for years. I was in a band with one of them while in college.
I'm loved Absence when it came out, but wasn't that big on their latest album. Their live show though, was worthy of a theatre stage, not a small bar stage.
