We'll shoot for Ben Folds, ZZ Top, and M83, with a dinner/roaming break during Alabama Shakes.

Sounds pretty much like my schedule.  I'll give a shoutout if I see you.

James, don't let her see Future Islands…. hahaha

What is wrong with Future Islands?  They have great music, and have been fun the two or three times that I have seen them.

Nothing wrong with them (i like them too)…singer just might be too scary for a kid.

My daughter has boldly proclaimed that she isn't afraid of anything. But I'm still not stretching the day any longer than it is already, so won't be going early to se them.

rain, rain, go away…

First person to PM can have them. Please send me your email address in the PM.

from facebook:

BIG NEWS! Virgin Mobile Live is releasing over 1,000 special one-day only $20 'Karma Tickets' TOMORROW! Proceeds go to The Re*Generation House, our new homeless youth shelter built on the donations of prior FreeFests!

Why? Because we want to raise enough money for this new shelter that they won't have to worry about funding for at least 2 years!

Tix will be available at the Merriweather Post Pavilion SOUTH box office and the 9:30 Club box office from 12PM -6PM, or until they run out. Two ticket limit!

thank you, seth/IMP/virgin/concert gods, for staggering the end of the festival.  jack white ends at 10:20 while the other stages will go on until 10:50.  this should spread out the rush to exit the parking lots.  cool.

Are we going to be allowed to park in the Columbia Mall parking lot?  That's always my preferred spot for MPP shows, but I presume the numbers will be much greater tomorrow and so they might have different rules/enforcement over there.

you're so rock and roll!

;D

Everyone make sure to catch Jack White.  I thought he was the top performance at Lolla by far this year.  Also if your in the pit take a million pics and video of him and see if he goes on a tirade
;D

and smoke pot . . . so the people who are on their tenth beer in less than an hour can look down at you.

yes yes, that too
;D

They let people park in two small lots (I think one is by a bank?)….not sure about the main lot…they usually have signs saying not to park there on sold out shows.
