Yea if I didn't have a camelbak I would have been fuckkkked, plus there was no rain most of the fest and dusty as all hell. Gotta have at least 5 water outposts if you got 80,000 people walking around, damn.
I buy water at festivals. Not exclusively but whenever I see huge complaints about water stations and things I always think "It was worth the $3 for that bottle instead of waiting 40 minutes for warm, slightly off-tasting water."
I could see myself grabbing 1 in a dire situation but the water provided is quite cold to begin with, and it's not like suffer water at roo either. I have a 3 liter reservoir so I could go close to half the day without a refill, I'd only ever get refills on my off times where I wasn't doing anything.
Honestly didn't find the lines horrible at firefly but I did see a couple times where things got crazy when I didn't need water. Would seriously consider a water reservoir and a sawyer water filter on the end, you can drink from streams its that good a filter, and only 20 bucks.
Not trying to to make endorsements over here but it seems like some of you peeps aren't using the safest of methods... smellycat
They are giving away 10 free a day now because of all the complainers. Way to go guys. Because of this garbage thread and all of the social media hate, we're getting free stuff !!!!!!
Recently saw modest mouse at FFF and the show was unbelievable with great energy. Top 10 show for me personally. Granted that was my only time to see them but that was just last Nov. So hopefully they keep it up
hmmmm wow my thought on that show were the opposite. it didnt suck but i didnt find it to be all that good and i never saw them before either
*Was close to rail, and let's just say sugar isn't poison, but sugar can trip you the fuck out.

Don't even pretend it's because of people complaining on social media. It's because they said it would come this week and it didn't. Even if it was because of people complaining, they were complaining because they said it was coming this week.

the wine rack is the greatest thing I've owned. all of my friends at roo, pitchfork, and any other outdoor event I've attended in the last year would agree. I snuck it into a vikings game this year. it was the best.
and pitchfork was an exception. I drink a shit load of water at roo - those lines aren't usually bad at all. actually, that's kind of a lie. it was so nice this year on thursday & friday at roo that I neglected to drink much water - I was so sick and dehydrated saturday morning. anyway... buy a wine rack or a beer belly. it'll be worth it.
I got my best friend a wine rack and it works wonders! Honestly though it was insanely easy sneaking in water bottles filled with whiskey last year. You just wrap them in a shirt or something and put it in your backpack. I had no problems. Also the water refill stations were never a problem for me, much more efficient than in 2013. I maybe waited in line for like 5-10 minutes.

Agreed. Its pretty obvious that RedFrog realizes they're screwing up and is trying to save face however they can.

I've learned something throughout all this: if something doesn't happen the way you want, just keep complaining and you'll get free stuff!

Well good on them. They could easily just say nothing and release it when they want. Giving away free tickets is a good move for this annoyance.

but what's more fun to say?
"here, have some whiskey from a water bottle" or "suckle off my tit wine, bitch"
I'm just glad they finally said something in an official statement and not Facebook comments. All a lot of people really wanted was them to say "It's not coming today, you can get off the computer."
pitchfork only has 1 water station. it would have definitely been at least an hour wait every time. it's a good thing it's not a camping festival.
It's not even a water station. It's 2 water fountains that are a permanent part of the park. Like any other shitty water fountain in a park, it is gross and the water barely shoots out. I have never and will never wait in that line. I buy water and beer when I'm there.
it's so bad. I never even attempted to stand in the line.
"hmm... stand in line for an hour or drink some goose island?" goose island. every time.
Logistically they're not very good. They screwed up volunteering so bad last year that they completely scrapped the program all together this year. You can commit to 20 hours of work and get a pass for $139 - or you can work the entire fest. That's it.
They screwed up a volunteering program in the festivals 3rd year. They were probably still learning some things. Looking briefly at their Wiki page makes it seem like they don't do a lot of festivals so I'd cut them some slack. Bonnaroo just fixed some logistical problems that only took them 10 years to address.
The lineup release of a festival is tricky and maybe they shouldn't have said "next week" if they weren't certain they'd be ready but I still think people are overreacting.
It was really bad for the volunteers. I remember reading the below last year and was amazed. Lack of communication is a consistent theme.

Don't get me wrong, those sound like choice stealth items, especially for something like coach. Just don't want to get the kids thinkin they will survive exclusively off their wine rack all weekend.
Yea roo was so pleasant last year, nice and cloudy! I actually found Sunday to be the hottest for me. The cooler weather can trick you into thinking your good on hydrating, glad you didn't become a Bonnaroo statistic!

maybe those kids should suck it up and work on their drinking game. only the champs survive.

I was referring more to drink water kids, than quality of wine rack leaves much to be desired! I'm not a drinker but I agree, #100ManFireFlyBeerPong
Do you guys think McCartney dropping out is a legit possibility?
I'm betting if they threw that much money at him they probably had a pretty binding contract hammered out long ago and that he'd be pretty much locked in. I don't see any way he'd be dropping out
Do you guys think McCartney dropping out is a legit possibility?
I wouldn't say its impossible, and nothing official has been released, so yeah it is a legit possibility. For all we know he is not even going to be at at the festival to begin with, because nothing has been released by Firefly.
I'm assuming the poeple getting the tickets are the ones leaving the "thank you" posts Mike G instructed right? Haha.
Haha I thought the exact same thing - they def aren't giving any free tix away to the people who were making fun of their pong tourneys and poor PR. Only the ones that gave them freshly baked cyber cookies!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Wait wtf, they just gave a free ticket away to the guy who wrote "the only people coming are bastille, 4 days of only bastille." I stand corrected... I guess they like the sass.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
