Honestly I didn't bother getting tickets myself because I'm not massively into the black keys, but its something fun to do on a Friday (or is it Saturday)... I'm actually more excited to see the arctic monkeys.

My friend just convinced me to get X-fest tickets....I guess $50 is worth it. I'll sit outside and drink beer all day to watch Linkin Park and Incubus.
Although I am super pumped to see Joy Formidable and Silversun Pickups. Especially since I'll be missing them at Sasquatch. Good times!

Tickets are only 50 bucks? X-fest was fun enough last year, and I feel like its my duty to support anything that brings bands to Calgary.

Sorry, $60 with fees. I guess they learned from last year when they had to sell half price tickets the week of the show.

I got super cheap tickets on a groupon last year for x-fest. Thats what I'm counting on this year.

I thought Black Keys put on a very tight show the first time I saw 'em but once I learned they put on the same show every night I lost any desire to see them again. Maybe in a few years when they have some different material to work with. Still, you'll have fun Sarah.
Womp- why will you be missing Silversun and Joy Formidable again? Conflicts or were you leaving early?

Yeah, the Black Keys are a very "professional" rock band. They are very good at what they do, but there is very little spontaneity or creativity in their show. I have seen them three times, and I really enjoyed the first time, but the two shows after that were the exact same thing.
KY - I have to leave on Monday to get back for work Tuesday. Really, really sucks. Missing Beck, Joy Formidable and Silversun is going to blow.

My work is very deadline based, and I am extremely lucky to be able to get the two and a half days previous off. If I were to call in sick Tuesday without a doctors note, I likely would not have a job afterward.
So I guess I will just have to break a major limb and then stick around for Beck. Any suggestions as to what I should break?

Just leapfrog over the pit fence and hope for the best, or worst, depending on how you look at it.

Break your arm. Breaking anything lower body sucks ass.

I recommend against ribs and collarbone.

Definitely isn't worth losing your job, but that's rough missing what's a pretty awesome Monday lineup. It's debatable but that's probably the best Sasquatch stage lineup of the whole weekend.
