I consider it every year, because I can basically walk to it, but this festival is directed at a very specific crowd, and I am not a folkster. The price has always deterred me. It is more expensive per day than Sasquatch, yet the headliners almost never crack the top 10 billed acts at Sasquatch. Pickathon is a yuppie festival. It is the most overpriced festival I have ever considered going to. They price it high so the yuppies in their 2013 Subaru Outbacks don't have to camp with a bunch of ruffians.

Also, Stamper, if you're interested there is a festival in Houston in June called the Free Press Summer Fest. I will probably be going to that as well. Last years lineup was pretty decent: fpsf.com/learn.php#lineup

Thanks for your help! That was pretty useful. Unfortunately, now comes the irritating process of trying to fi.gure out which specific neighborhood to live in. Yay. Oh shit, Stamper and Cat are moving to Austin? Hell yeah. The outskirts aren't that great but downtown and the university area are pretty awesome. Check out the Spiderhouse when you get there. It's a great place to grab a beer!

I basically gave up on Bonnaroo just because ACL is more my speed, and bar hoping in Austin with Hit The Switch is too tempting. Are we doing hookers and blow this year, or is the wife coming? Dude, are you coming down for ACL? Or are you talking about the Fun Fun Fun Fest? Either way, I look forward to bar hopping with you! Hookers and blow!

When does Outside Lands' lineup get released? I'm thinking of doing another festival this year, and it's the best for timing, ie: not still broke from Sasquatch, not yet broke from Rifflandia. Come to ACL!

I'll be watching whoever is on the other stage at the same time Are you going to ACL this year? If anyone wants to come down to Austin and hang out, I will be going to this festival. It's just not the same without camping though.

The new Cloud Cult album is playing over on the NPR website. I think it's great--some of their best work. Some people might find it sappy but I appreciate the uniqueness of their sound. The full on orchestra makes for some incredibly beautiful music. Sleepwalker and Complicated Creation are damn good songs.

I'm not going--and I say that with tears in my eyes. 5 years in a row and now this. Reading this thread makes things ten times worse. (I want to slap the bag!) I guess I'll just put my big foot forward and start saving for next year. (Sasquatch pun! My sense of humor hasn't been compromised--at least not yeti)

If another mod would like to do it, then I'm just fine with that, but I spent over 6 hours over the course of 2 days editing and tweaking the forum while trying to take everyone's input to make it look as great as possible. The top logo alone went through a dozen re-designs before it reached the current finished product. If the consensus prefers the animated gif then by all means change it out. I've just exhausted my editing efforts for one year. To be fair, I did announce that I was going to be working on the gif for the top before any changes were made. I don't really care though. I think you did a great job Pea and I think the logo looks slick. I think we should keep it as it is. I enjoy making animations so it's not like my efforts went to waste.

So the new website doesn't give me much to work with as far as a new GIF is concerned. I have something in mind though and will work on it this weekend.

But I'm the "best at guessing lineups". I guess the world just isn't ready for SwitchSquatch

(I will say, I do love me a good conspiracy, and how, with enough effort and the right "perspective" on things, you can tie anything to anything else. Except for Prince, dammit.) If you enter a thunder closet high on mushrooms after drinking a 1/2 bottle of absinthe and you improperly shoot your stream into the gray funnel (aka back splash)----you might be seeing Purple Rain.

I grew up attending every Ozzfest at the Gorge. Those were different times, that's for sure. The parking lot was actually a parking lot.
