Was it worth the money? It was for me. Seeing RTJ, Tame Impala, a great Bassnectar show, Bun B, Lil Wayne and some other cool shit for $150 was a decent bargain. Amenities were lacking, but it was only a 2 day thing so even though they really didn't service the port-o-johns after Sunday am, you could deal with it.
RTJ breaking out 36" Chain, Sea Legs, Panther Like a Panther and Blockbuster Night was great.
All the bassheads I ran into were really cool. Last time I saw Bassnectar in Texas, it was pretty much the same.
A few people passed out, including this football player dude from Mississippi who was with us. Apparently he walked in and didn't last 10 minutes before dropping. He didn't get an IV and was okay after 2 waters. He told me later, "I thought the heat in Mississippi was bad, but..."
I saw one guy getting led out by the cops. Except for the river, they mostly just stood around and didn't mess with anyone. However, they had some shirtless dude in cuffs at one of the stages (inside the performer area). I don't know if he jumped the fence from VIP to the stage or what he might have pulled. He looked pretty haggardly, so he may have been having a bad reaction to something? I don't know.
Air pollution was like being in China. I watched some clips last night on YouTube, and those are dust particles in the air at most of the shows, not smoke.
Tame was a very interesting set for me. Since I'm pretty green on that project, I was an observer. But the audio and visuals were both top notch. That's a cool band that I'd like to see again in the next couple of years.
We all had fun. Most of us said we wouldn't go back to Float Fest just to go back. But if there is another lineup like this one next year, I'd be willing to make a return. San Marcos is about the same difference to Manchester, TN or Live Oak, FL. So it's doable if the bands and price are right.

well im back. the trip went almost flawlessly until last night when we decided to skip Grayson Highlands state Park on the way back and just try and drive through the night so we could get back to Philly by the morning. Of course at 3:15 we got a flat and triple A left us stranded for about 4 hours after many calls and fuck ups on their end. a cop ended up getting us someone to help us out. finally back in my bed, after 9 days of not showering, and can say i had a pretty fantastic time. Lake Claytor was really fun, the Smokeys were absolutely breathtaking, until we hiked up way too high for sunset and were kind of panicking about bears on the hour and a half walk back down the mountain in the dark. Float Fest was about what I expected, pretty low budget, not much to get excited about when it comes to the fest, but the Floating was so damn fun and just spending the entire day in the river high as fuck with my friends while we waited for the few acts we actually cared for at night was pretty amazing. Food was good, but sound was kind of all over the place. Couldn't hear a word Snoop or Lil Wayne said but Nectar was great and of course Tame was absolutely stellar. Heat was pretty damn rough, getting a personal spray fan was pretty essential for surviving those thick crowds with the dust. Overall it was a great time and would go again if they got someone i cared about as much as Tame again. Now im gonna sleep in a bed and shower for the first time in 9 days.
