I do like that song Todd. Thanks. I totally don't hate them, but I feel like they aren't quite deserving of the accolades yet in their live performance (besides the messaging).
Like I said, there's no chance I'm going to miss Deftones to see them, but if scheduling allows me to get a chance to split Chvrches with something else besides Deftones, I'd do that keying in on the second half of the Chvrches set.
How you gonna see Deftones if you're going weeknd two? I thought you were doing the second week since a lot of the acts you listed as wanting to catch are exclusive to that weekend.
As much as I want to go, because I am still broken I am definitely out. I want to cry. This is only the second year I have missed since I started going and the first time was because of my festie bestie having breast cancer. Fucking fragile bodies.
Not sure what is feasible for you, but have you looked into ADA accommodations?
I looked into it and we talked about going, but my next checkup is on Sept 6, which is about a week longer than my short-term disability is supposed to end. Which means they start using my PTO for my 1/2 day disability pay. I have a big vacation at the end of the year booked and days locked up for that and really can't afford to spend PTO or work without pay due to fact that my medical bills that have already started rolling in ($638, $430, $230 and $48). Also, I am supposed to be in Physical Therapy by then and I was highly recommended by my doctor to not make any plans, like a music festival, until I see how my wrist is doing and what all PT will entail.
I don't have any basic mobility in my wrist right now. Little to no up, down, side to side motion at all even with doing the exercises six times a day. So, because of ALL of that, if I do go, it will be a total last minute decision.

Man, hope you're feeling much better by vacation time and are not too inconvenienced when returning to the job.
Also, Arcuse/Chandler noted that Two Feet survived an attempt on his own life. I'm not sure he'll be there anymore.
Was Two Feet ever on the lineup? If so, he did cancel the rest of his shows back mid June (put it out there during weekend 1 of Electric Forest) due to mental health issues

Thanks! Me too. I have been working since basically a week after the break because of the lack of PTO time. I miss days due to pain and sometimes can't get very much done. I am only working 4hrs/day but after working Mon and Tues this week, I almost called in today and took 1/2 a Percocet to go to sleep (which didn't happen either). I have almost all the mobility back in my fingers but my pinkie and ring finger still aren't 100% and have weird numbness due to the nerve damage and the way the tendons were pulled in the break.
I did a fucking number. I have never injured myself this bad before and I hope I never do again. I am pretty tired of being broken.

My bad. I think he was on Lollapalooza's lineup. Live Nation tricks me out sometimes.

Friday is TOO stacked, and of course it's on the same day as Macca. Meanwhile Saturday for me only has like 4 people I wanna see, and also the headliner I'm least interested in. Ah well still hype for this.

I agree that their live performance needs to improve. If you know lyrics it's a fun and energetic set, but both times I've seen them they have had issues with microphone level mixing. Almost every single song you miss quarter to a half of a verse because the guys' mic is basically muted.
Just saw them at Mopop this past weekend and they have been retooling songs (adding in random Kanye samples that don't seem to jive, for example) to their own detriment, in my opinion.

i heard this a fair amount on the coachella stream, but i just figured it was a streaming issue
Here, I'm editing the clashfinder btw to what I think the schedule is gonna look like. Don't shoot the goddamn messenger. clashfinder.com/s/aclfest2018

Coachella was actually the other place I saw them. Same issue.
Not sure yet if i’ll volunteer for the third year in a row or use one of my w3 security shirts to slyly sneak in but i’ll be there for weekend 1.
What's volunteering for this festival like?
It’s chill - lots of different teams, with priority usually given to previous volunteers. When I’ve done it, there have been 3 shifts each day, and you’re usually on a different shift each day. So, for example, I worked evening to close on Friday one year, Gates to midaday Saturday, and then the mid-day to early evening shift Sunday. IIRC, though, it was limited to greater Austin residents. Haven’t volunteered for a couple years though, so not sure if it’s still the case.
