I'm S0 FUCKING (like how I avoided that autocorrect?) swamped in festival expenditures right now that my glow stick purchases will have to be made next month at some point. I will be attending with at least 2000 in hand though

Last time I saw Bassnectar I waited to get glowticks until about three seconds after he started and then bent over and picked up about 20 glowsticks off the ground. It was great.

1000 glow sticks per person x 200 people = 200,000 glow sticks. Oh my god what have we done?! 2012 is going to come much earlier than predicted.

Maybe we should stay and help clean up...

I don't want to sound like a douche but that is definitely a lot of garbage. I am not saying that I don't want to see 200,000 glow sticks flying around but I still feel really guilty

I feel the same. That's why I might stay and help clean up... if I can, ya know?

Proposed word : 'glowstick' ---> 'Canadian cigarette'

You're the man, and you have really great intentions as well, but no matter what all that plastic is going to end up in a landfill. I'll stay and help though....I think I will be intoxicated enough that staying to help will actually be a privilege and not a chore.

Switch - Your sig makes me happy. Hey guys, at least Live Nation can earn a few carbon credits by turning off the night-lighting for the clean up crew. The grounds will be lit by free and green (and yellow, red, purple, blue, orange) illumination!

Is Bassnectar really playing during Death Cab? Right after? I think I might have to skip Death Cab just to get a good spot for the party.

I'm assuming that most every spot will be a good spot. And I already saw Death cab in 08, and all they've done since then is release more material I don't like, so unless they say they're playing a Something about Airplanes/WHTFAWVY/Photo Album set, I probably won't be there.

That lawn gets fucking CRAZY. I prefer being not in the middle of it.

Last year My Morning Jacket started at 10 and Deadmau5 didn't start until 11:30 so I was able to get in more than enough MMJ before heading to the Bigfoot stage. I would assume it will be a similar time situation this year.

How long do these "late night" sets go? And there are only late nights on Saturday and Sunday?

Post by Pea on Mar 2, 2011 12:54:29 GMT -8
Uhhh I think until 1am or so? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. And so far it only appears that the late night sets will be on Sat/Sun again.

And, I'm sorry Ratatatatatat, you're cool and all, but the idea of them spending an entire late night set on you is fucking lame.

Totally agree, I would much rather have a sexy night time Chromeo dance party. Or Robyn for that matter. Or Major Lazer. Anyone really.
I've tried, but I just don't get Ratatat. Maybe I have to see them live I guess.
