third stage with local bands: not that i've heard of.
there is a third "venue" for "music", the dance tent… now this i just don't understand. methinks that the audience interested in those DJs probably wouldn't pay $97.50+ to see them - therefore the dance tent won't sell many additional tickets on its own. might influence a few people on the fence ("dude, the killers AND tiesto?!? now i gotta go!"), but probably not enough to justify the crazy amounts of money that tent will require in artists' fees. thoughts?
V Fest Schedule now open for discussion
cool, thanks for the input on the dance tent's popularity. i doubt i'll spend much time there, but good to know that it wasn't the questionable idea i thought it might be.
also: on the VFest "Artists" page, there's a handy-dandy PDF version of the day's schedule, suitable for printing. looking at it made it much easier to plan my day.

What does that tell you about the diversity of your friendships?

I go to Birchmere for the food.
Neko Case was with the New Pronos at the Austin City Limits show, but I can't find any mention for her being with the band for V fest.
ugh, I don't like the schedule either. Matching Tiesto against the Lips sucks, they are the two acts I want to see most, and then of course I can't see any RHCP if I try to do the other 2. First part of the day is a lot easier for me, except I wish Digweed weren't at the same time as Braz Girls and Thievery…want to catch all 3 of them.
here's where my maple leaf ass will be all day..
12pm - 12:50 - Kasabian
1:35pm - 230pm - New Pornos

4pm - 5:15pm - ummm, 75 minutes of rest!
5:15pm - 6:15pm - the killers
6:45pm - 7:45pm - the Who

Just got back from austin city limits and Nko Case did perform with the Pornos…

Whoa…if Neko plays with the Porns then methinks the decisions are going to be tough for many.
After seeing the VFest in Toronto, I would make a strong recommendation to catch Wolfmother, if only for 10-15 minutes. Really fun to watch and I don't think they'll be doing any headlining DC area shows.

Originally posted by Lane:Just saw that too. His illness sounds pretty awful, hope he recovers. Very cool that Carl Cox and Digweed get to play extended sets, should be tight.
