Whartscape 2010

yep, rain or shine.  they have tarps over the stages (although if its a downpour, those tarps are going to be  holding serious amounts of water, heh)

went tonight but didn't stay around for the stuff at the h&h….was so hot outside.  lil b (the headliner for tonight since spankrock dropped out) was god awful.

Javelin, Height, and Get em Mamis were the highlight for me today.  If you bring beer you need to put it in cup or cover the beer up.  If you don't some security dude will tell you to throw it in the trash can.

My first day wasnt too shabby.  I watched Ed Schrader, Double Dagger, Ponytail, and the Dan Deacon Ensemble. The venue was bad ass, just an area between some buildings in Baltimore.  It was way too hot to do all day, and it is supposed to rain today.  Guess  I will have to get wet, cause I am not missing anyone from 3 to 10:30 pm.

luckily i only live 4 blocks from where it is taking place…so i'm back in my apartment - not getting wet, i knew the ghetto tarps they had set up would not hold up.  wonder what the schedule will be like for the rest of the day

Rain has stopped … sun's shining…. will update…

Did you sell my ticket?

mad i missed this. just saw a friend of mine post pictures from it on FB.

I thought today was handled badly.  It stopped raining after an hour and no bands??  Really?  I mean couldn't they have made a real stage.  Or Baltimore City has those portable stages like the one they used for Station North Festival.  I got there at 3 today.  Left at 10 saw 3 bands whole sets (Lower Dens, Wye Oak, and Deakin) Saw the creepers do a couple songs and Celebration do a couple songs.

I skipped yesterday because of the heat and not feeling well. 

With Xiu Xiu and Spank Rock canceling and the terrible weather I would say this festival was sort of disappointing. 

Lower Dens, Wye Oak, Deakin, Celebration, Health and Beach House played Sonar.

Beach House was asked by the fire department to stop playing around midnight when they were about to start their 5th song…unbelievable. There were fire trucks outside Sonar. Not sure what happened.

Anyway, I really enjoyed Lower Dens and Wye Oak.  Deakin/Celebration/Health - not my thing.

Lightning Bolt and No Age were both great I thought. LB played Colossus (full version) unlike the DC9 show. I think I prefer them outdoors than indoors. I need to start listening to No Age again.
