Love Friday. Love Saturday. Hate Sunday. Always wanted to see Em 1 time. So am gonna use Sunday to post up early and get 1 good show in and possibly get in a fight with some of his fans.
Then either move on with my life or if it’s great double back at gov ball or firefly
If he did that then what would he have to complain about???
Uh...the sketchy list member who, at worst, leaves me dying in a ditch by the side of the road or, at best, strands me at the venue for shiz and giggles, perhaps?
Well, shit, nobody's gonna offer you a ride with that attitude.
Man, being a grown ass adult complaining that bands don’t cater to your specific vehicular disadvantage is hilarious. Jesus man, use a zipcar if it’s that big a deal.
I drove between the ages of 16-32 and hit around a dozen cars during that time, mainly while pulling in or out of parking spaces. I've got really bad hand-eye coordination, as evidenced by my one year in Little League where I not only didn't get a hit, but didn't even get a foul tip (or catch a ball in right field).
My gift to society is not driving anymore.
Again, it's not about me...it's about the business advantage in catering to thousands of car-free college students in the Boston area.
You keep talking about these car free Boston college students, but nearly all of them have friends with cars, or another way to access a car. My sister went to Boston University, without a car, and never had an issue getting around if she needed to. Yes, I'm sure there are those without any way shape or form to get out there, but it's not a huge contingent.
People aren't going to get to every show they want to. That's just a fact and way of life. Either they don't have the funding, or the means to get there, or it's just unreasonable to bother trying.
Take for example the recently announced Black Angels and Black Lips show at Royale. I'd like to go. But I'm not going to go to some club show in Boston on a Wednesday, leave at Midnight or 1 am, drive down 95 half awake, and then turn around a few hours later to go to work. Could I? Yeah, but it'd be dumb to reckless on my part. You living inside 128 could do those a lot easier than I could, between the T or cabs or whatever.
Some people are bedridden and can't make it to festivals at all, so I really think it's about time that entire festivals take place in the home of each individual who buys a ticket.

Sure, that's part of the dynamic of living in bigger cities with higher rents -- it costs more to live, but you get more cultural opportunities that make life interesting. I grew up in Rochester, NY and pored over the concert/club listings in the Village Voice every week, thinking how great it would be to live in a big city someday where every band played your town.

Some festivals have been doing web simulcasts, but I haven't yet seen a multiple stage fest where multiple web channels were leveraged to show every act on every stage, live. Done right, that could be a great revenue stream for festivals. Charge $9.99 or $12.95 or something in that general vicinity and let people located everywhere get access to all of the music and comedy from the comfort of their homes and at a modest price reflective of the fact that it's not exactly the same thing when experienced via TV/radio/computer/mobile device.

We'll, if you know you can't get to a show or a festival, you're probably not buying tickets in the first place.

Please read this back to yourself and realize this is everyone's point.
Another question for you guys. I’m looking at hotels in Quincy and thinking of taking the red line in. Do the hotels usually rise in price significantly before the festival? Probably won’t have the money until April (although it’s looking pretty likely I end up going to this which is awesome).

Are there no pay when you stay options? Most hotels on booking.com let you book without paying first.

Heads up, there are subway diversions in that area for the next year or so. The website is listing diversion dates only for the next couple of months, but posters in other Red Line stations note that the work will be going into 2019. I'd like to think that they won't be doing this on Memorial Day weekend, but they actually diverted a different portion of the Red Line over Black Friday weekend last November, so you never can tell.

Add Tauk to the list of Boston Calling acts playing local shows within a few months of the festival. In their case, it's actually a few weeks; they're playing Brighton Music Hall in early May.
