Figured it was too much of a hassle…the parking, having to take a shuttle back to lot at night, up past daughter's bedtime, the crowds, wife has already seen B52's, etc.

Now I have no reason to regret ditching the show…

this is my first time going.  is it that difficult to get around?  hope not.  where should we go to park?  dont mind shuttles here if i have to.  is the festival all in one area?   

I only went once, in 2000. Los Lobos and Jonathan Richman were playing.

I seem to remember it wasn't tooooooo difficult. You park in a big lot and wait for a shuttle. Seem to remember there being lots of shuttles, and it was only a short distance. Very crowded, but that's expected.

All in all, only a minor headache. But headaches are magnified when you have a kid in tow and a wife who doesn't like crowds and isn't a live music fan.

Tonight it's going to rain, so that leaves you with a choice of Third Eye Blind on Saturday or Spin Doctors on Sunday.

Here is a solution to your problems.  Be nice to people so you have friends.  Leave the wife home with the kid and go to show with friend.

See there you go again.  Adding nothing to the conversation. I am offering James Ford solid life-advice.

leave the kids with the wife . . . and go out with your friends?  yeah, that makes a marriage really work.

Better than taking them somewhere they don't want to be.  Trust me on this I am an expert.. I have been married twice.  How many times have you been married?

I thought you didnt have kids Atomic, so how can you be an expert on his situation?

Being married vs being married with kids…

Yeah having kids was his first mistake.  Everyone I know who has kids becomes boring overnight. 

I was boring even before I had a kid.

Good old Walky, always the voice of reason.

I'm not saying everyone is fit to have them but what really is the point of life if you don't have kids?

Really?  That is your point to being alive? 

humans do think that way.  where have you been?  people with kids versus people without kids, is always a fascinating dynamic to watch.

Do my Fur kids count?

Being a good father by far is the most important job I have here on earth.

People with kids look older.  They have to get up all the time to change diapers.  I swear it ages a person 5 years per baby.  I was talking to this guy on just a couple of nights ago who had twins.  He said he was assigned a kid and had to sleep in a room with it so it wouldn't wake up the other kid.  I had not seen him in probably 4 years and he looked beaten down.

Plus people with kids don't like to go out and have fun anymore.  I guess they are too tired.  I guess it made sense back in the 50's to have kids when a man earned enough money to have his wife stay at home and she didn't mind taking care of the kids by herself.  Well it made sense for the man still sucked for the woman.
