C'mon Monday night Powerball. Sand > snow, pasture, dirt, asphalt, etc. Waaaaooooo Buffalo...feels so good but, too much snow. Come May we'll all have a good laugh about this thread and posts as we suck down Margaritas, peel some shrimp, and build us a couch in the sand to watch Run the Jewels, Flo jumping in Zaj's arms, Zaj's better half smacking him down, Sarah swatting the guys off her, Chick keeping the keg cold, Krisp playing sultan in the sand, and beachbob picking and singing some Jason Isbell tunes by the pool. Forgot to mention Esteban. You in my friend? Leave anybody out?
I thought Snowball was supposed to come back this year? I guess I haven't heard anything about it at all yet though, so yeah probably dead.
That said, Colorado snow > Alabama sand.
This was their 2014 line up which was fanastic to me. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a peep from them.
Oh well.
yeah I think the main problem was they could never secure a location to keep having it cause it was always a pretty perfect lineup for a Colorado festival.
Oh, and Abby! Abby! Abby! So cool to have a hero for the Utes that defies prior bigotry. Gracias.
Hey Esteban, here is another Waka alternative that may have a big year. My friend up in Fayetteville says it has a great vibe and they've dished out a lot of money the atmosphere. The line up was ok last year. Im glad Odesza has already been used up.
While I could maybe understand their points, there's one dude in the comments who is complaining about the sand... at a festival on the beach. THE SAND.
I was expecting some actual stupidity, but it looks like all of those posts from reddit are on point. Including the one guy's post about the sand that you took out of context. His main issue is that there is no access to the water to cool off and get the sand off of you. And you can't tell me that you actually walk down the whole beach to get from the main stage to surf stage? No, you get out and walk on the pavement path because it's waaaaaay faster. Anyone that ever went to DeLuna fest can tell you that having access to the water made the experience 100x better. Walking on the shoreline on wet/hard sand to the other stage was awesome. Walking on dry sand anywhere gets old really fucking quick.

I mostly agree, but a lot of those complaints were people comparing camping festivals that are in east bumquack to the experience in gulf shores...it's just a different animal and there's no point in banging the hangout for not being SOS or other similar venues.
Chattanooga River Bend added Salt n Pepa, Blackberry Smoke, and Brett Eldridge. An hour down the interstate makes this one look good. Week long festival, day tix.
we do have water access though. Unless you mean just in terms of making part of the general site and not gated off for designated use?
I mean real access across the whole shoreline of the fest like they had at DeLuna. Not a gate where you have to give MTV & blu ecigs your name, DoB, email, social security number to be granted 5 minutes of water access within 10 meters of that gate. Where you can't even hear the fucking music and you will be shot by a cop with a sniper rifle for any sporadic movements.

Well, that is why most people go to festivals. To see a bunch of acts for less than what it would cost to see them all at venues. I think you're missing the point about the comparisons though. The different animal in regards to it being a vacation is obvious. Warning people that it is an over-priced, unwelcoming, police state is something everyone should know before deciding to go to this fest.
ive never even seen a cop inside the fest let alone had any trouble. my only run it was last year while playing lasso golf by the water a cop was riding by and gave me shit for a miss so i called him out to take a shot and he did, good times.
The police state seems ridiculously over exaggerated, at least surrounding the grounds. Again, in 4 years, weve had no run ins, weve been caught w flasks n they just dump in, and we played Baggo with one of the cops which was hilarious.
Of course you can get away with more on someone's private ranch during a camping festival. This is taking place in the middle of a city's public beach which they could tell you to go fuck off for.
Does anyone know why DeLuna ceased? I would loved to have had a 2nd option.

lol wow. your tears should cool you down if you're that hot...
What is this new fresh hell of "waiting rooms" for online ticket sales for the popular kids?
Tickets on sale at 10am actually means get in the waiting room by 9am apparently.
I'm guessing that you are referring to the Adele tickets today. For big events with high demand for tickets, there is some shady shit going on right now with ticketmaster. Depending on the show/artist/venue, a certain allotment of tickets are held back and given to different groups to sell. So really only about 10-50% of tickets are actually available to the general public during on sale. And of that percent, the general public is up against people using bot software that allows them to do multiple searches and make multiple purchases with multiple ticketmaster accounts & credit cards at the same time. It's pretty fucked. People that miss out on tickets end up running to stub hub and paying 2-10x cost for a ticket. That's not what you do though. Wait until the week of the show, when they get desperate to offload the ones they couldn't sell. Then you can end up scoring one for face or less.

I've been told there is actually a similar system in use when a new line of Jordans come out. Tickets and sneakers will bankrupt a man.
