I've never heard of this movie. Is it a black-and-white documentary about last year's No Fun Fest?

And by meaning heading back home I mean back to my car haha. Because I'll be coming from Charlottesville, VA and my car will be at the Baltimore train station. From there I'll head to vfest or maybe get a hotel room haven't decided yet.

personally, i'd get a hotel room in jersey and get a full & proper night's sleep. the alternative is waiting 2-3 hours in a train station, then 1.5 hours sleep on the train, then a subsequent 4-5 in a hotel
in b'more.

Yeah, I'm being a cheapo and don't feel like looking into hotel prices and what not. I think this will be my plan unless something changes.

He has to get his own APW ticket, but I'll pay his share of the bus fee. Confirming he's real would be worth the extra $50.

Pick me up too and what the hell Prince was added to Coachella????? Hey Seth what you got planned??????

i'm not certain what your plan is, but just to be clear: if it does include a hotel/motel, i'd recommend getting one in NJ and returning to b'more the next day, instead of a night of short broken sleep as you prepare yourself for another 2 days of festival fun.

Must say the Calgary lineup is eh, however I like the ticket prices. How about it Seth? 125 bucks for two days instead of over 200 bucks.

you could always take the last bus back to dc. it leaves ny at 1am if you dont want a hotel room.

i'm always up for a carpool, but it's hard getting people to commit to it.

what are the chances the black angels will play vfest? seth i hope they're on that list of yours.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to train it and see what happens.

I hear a rumor that Vampire Weekend, Serj Tankian, Metric, Saul Williams, and The Breeders will be added to the lineup. Is that true Seth??? I can see Saul Williams because he is pretty good friends of Trent Reznor and toured with him before. Come on lineup!!!

Thats a hell of a freaking lineup. All the oversea festvials are always better then the stateside ones. But this lineup blows Lolla and Coachella out of the water.

i cant wait to see Main Stage

i hope they are at V-fest.

Nearly 85% of Lolla's lineup doesn't interest in the slightest this year.

My guess/latest prediction is Hot Chip. Since during Friday's show they said they'd be back later this year.

Rodrigo y Gabriela added.
