V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

So you think scalpers will sell the tickets at the show dirt cheap to get rid of them?? I know that was the case last year.

oh hell yeah ;) we wish!

I'd rather like to know a bit about scheduling as well…there's a part of me considering Atlantic City for BRMC the night before, but that would mean driving back the day of the Festival, and I'm only going to the festival for those boys, so it might be a bit much in the driving way if they're playing early in the day…how much longer we gotta wait?

(ewww, my obsessiveness is showing! how disgusting)

This brings up another potentially disturbing conflict - BRMC versus The Stooges. I really hope that one doesn't happen. Iggy would win, but I don't want to miss BRMC.
Hey Seth, is there an ETA on the schedule? Thanks

HELLL YES!
Best show ever
I'm hoping this includes industrial re-workings of Dylan classics
There's no possible musical crime in that
is there?

when you walk in the gate, it'll be handed to you.

anything before that will be a minor miracle.

his fans went ape-shit because he picked up an electric guitar… do you have any idea what they'll do if he goes industrial?!?

walkers and canes thrown everywhere. people storming out… at a very, very slow pace, stopping every 40 feet to catch their breaths.
The reformed Stooges are in their fifth year . . . not sure what the current setlist is . . . but its officially ok to dip into Raw Power . . . in fact, its officially ok to play Raw Power in its entirety. Do it.

Um, I can't tell if my sarcasm went unnoticed or not.

The perils of the internet
The Web site FAQ says it won't be until a week or two before the show. Maybe they're aiming for a lot of last minute ticket sales?

Obviously nobody cares about Book the Band this year, but is Hollywood Undead seriously going to be playing the festival?

nah, i got it. i just wanted to take a dig at dylan's fans. hoping they'd get all upset at the characterization… then again, most of them don't use the internet.
the schedule was released online about 4-5 days before the festival.

I still have the books from last year's festival. If anyone is interested, i'll upload a picture of the schedules for last year, so you can get an idea of how they work.

Ah, I wasn't sure.

As for Dylan's fans, listening to an album like "The Bootleg Series Volume 4" and imagining it being booed mercilessly, is crazy to me.

But I consider myself something of a Dylan freak. An 18 year old Dylan freak. Disproving your characterization. Haha
Last year's schedule was released July 26, 13 days before the festival. The Book the Band winner (Aiden) was revealed two days prior.

In light of Aiden and Hollywood Underground, I would vote that the Book the Band program be canceled.

this has to be rigged.
i'm bumping this in the hopes that I can make this happen.

I just saw a few clips of NIN's rehearsal for the tour, and it was beautiful.

so please please PLEASE don't let NIN conflict with Rabbit in the Moon!! Anyone else on Sunday is fine, just please don't let NIN conflict with RITM!!

please seth, if you're reading, take this into consideration!!

Live
Violent Femmes

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Good Charlotte
Everclear
Harvey Danger

and…of course…

Jimmie's Chicken Shack
Perfect additions. These are bands that you want to hear a few songs from but wouldn't pay the normal club ticket price for. Bravo.
Book the Band winner will be announced tomorrow, according to the VMFest Web site.

Last year, they announced the schedule a couple of days after the Book the Band winner.

Maybe we'll still get a couple of other additions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Seth, a rumored schedule posted online has Cat Power and Bloc Party playing at the same time. Please say it ain't so!
where is this rumored schedule? i would like to see it, whether it be real or not.
Seth is being sarcastic I hope. I mean, save for Violent Femmes, these are sh*tty bands.
