Outside Lands debacle

Aug 23, 2008 17:22

Last night was...a bit of a disaster.

It was the Outside Lands Festival in Golden Gate Park, and I was going solely to see Beck and Radiohead.

likin' that set list, despite all the other $#!+ that went on. :(

Yeah, I thought it was a great setlist. I was expecially happy to hear Talk Show Host.

you poor creature! i hate festivals. so. much. but it sounds like you had a particularly terrifying experience. i chose not to go, but i'm sad, because i think it means that my rock and roll days are pretty much over. too much of the shy. :(

I feel like I would have had a good time if I hadn't lost Jason, and if it had been more organized overall. :\

You're totally still rock and roll, Lindsay!

clearly that means you should come down to la to see them play! radiohead tomorrow and monday! beck AND spoon on sept 20!!

i'm personally not a big fan of huge all day festivals, though the one large festival i went to was over 4 days, and despite many pitfalls, i ended up having a blast.

Oh man, I wish.

I would like to go to at least one festival where I actually get to see more than one band. Then I'm sure I'll be okay with not going to one again.

This story made me laugh until I cried...or maybe it just made me cry. The laundry list of things that went horribly wrong is nothing short of appalling...I'm really sorry your festival experience sucked so much!

Re: Epic Fail girloclock August 24 2008, 19:18:54 UTC

Yeah, I think we all found the whole thing to be pretty hilarious and ridiculous by the end of the night, too. Like, what else could possibly happen? The only other thing that would have made this story perfect was if one of our cars had broken down. Although I think then I might have just cried.

Which speaker stand, right or left? (facing stage)

girloclock August 27 2008, 03:52:04 UTC

Right.
