   Who is going? I’m thinking of riding my bike over there tomorow — check out the scene.

   Maybe there will be some hippie chicks there with some shrooms or something…

   I was think of doing the exact same thing. Would we be able to access the parking lot if we don’t gave tickets?

   I was able to ride my bike within 300 yards of the stage. They did not shut down the path along the river, so my lady and I just kind of hung out there for a few mins. Took in a couple of acts, then biked ourselves over to the Sand Bar to have some fried seafood and corona’s. Easily could have made a day of it and just put a blanket down on the grass right outside the fence.

   The festival seemed kind of lame. Lame in the sense that there was not a lot ot explore. The area was kind of small, the stages were right on top of each other (although I did notice that there was no cross music noise from stage to stage). I really dont think it would have been worth 90 bucks. Festivals should be like 50 tops, concidering you have to buy everything you want (food, booze, water, pills)

   I went on Friday and Radiohead was amazing. They saved the festival. I go to a lot of festivals and overall this one was poorly planned. The layout could have been better and set times longer. I guess they had restrictions with liquor and time contraints too. The beer gardens could have been strategically placed where you could see the stages better. The 5 beer max also sucked when you got there at 2. Luckily I knew somebody working the fest and they were able to hook me up with more beer. You could have also washed the mark off your hand and got another wrist band.

   Radiohead was just downright sick. I was at the bonnaroo 06 show and i thought this comparable.

   Not if you bypassed the line, crossed to the other platform, boarded the Hoboken train and stood precisely where the door stopped so you could get on first and grab a seat…like me. Otherwise, yes, I would imagine it was insane (tee-hee-hee!)

   Yeh that’s what we did, too, but the light rail was still insane, nevertheless.

   It was funny when the Transit police figured out people were doing that.

   Contrast this post with the standard “Everyone is so selfish! No one has any manners!” threads on here. This is how it works, right - I complain about lack of civility, etc… until it benefits me to do as I please, then, well, everybody breaks the rules sometimes, right? Everyone else is doing it, why not me? Can’t I get a pass this one time?

   Exactly. I read those posts and thought about the a-holes that do this on the path and how much I dislike them.

   What we did, walking to the opposite side of the platform, was no different than if we took the train south and got off and got on a northbound train.

   Not my fault the hipsters from the city didn’t know how the light rail works.

   Not my fault the hipsters from the city didn’t know how to think they’re more important than everyone else and therefore shouldn’t have to wait in line.

   Fixed.
