VFEST Roll Call

I'm in.  Really only psyched to see Weezer and Franz, but it should be a good day nonetheless.

i'm looking forward to going to a festival with no big expectations and few must-sees.  i plan on walking around a lot, taking in the atmosphere and hanging with friends.  for once the info booths and vendors might get more than a once-over.

In as well…

i'm in as well, just for the dance tent + public enemy

Smokin….

i"ll be there. want to see national and public enemy. also think i may be entertained for a few minutes watching the book the band winner, if i make it there that early

neverwhere: if decide to bus it and come into dc, you are free catch a ride with me the fest 

I'm going too, but bummed I won't be getting there til about 4pm, due to an event the in-laws have scheduled on the same afternoon (without bothering to consult). So guess I'll miss St Vincent. Mainly going to see the Weeze, though, so I'll get to see them I expect. And Hold Steady and Girl Talk.

very excited.
hope to see
girl talk
holy fuck
bravery
mates of state
….
miss the race track. i loved that place.
didn't check the weather
of course it would be beautiful all week..then rain on sunday
boo

Time to get our geek on…

What shall we use as the forum Twitter hashtag? 

I'm thinking #forumvfest

Any other thoughts?

that works for me. i'll be tweeting f0 sho
@nici

I'll be there +1.  I'll certainly be checking out Franz…most of the rest of the time just wandering about and listening to whatever seems cool. 

Will be there +1, absolutely will not miss Franz and would like to see Public Enemy and Weezer, assuming the lineup works out where some combo of all of those aren't on at the same time - guess we'll see tomorrow.

hopefully seth won't screw things up and do that with the schedule letting conflicts galore happen.  Instead he will charge 20 dollar beers  ;D

I'm giving Shi a ride to V fest on sunday :)

Anyway a buddy of mine picked up his tickets today and they told him that the pavilion and pit was general admission, no wristbands or anything like that…first come, first serve.

and for double plus geekiness, include the #freefest tag,

weird schedule still isn't out, must be busy pricing the beer  ;D
