Hopefully, the douchebags do the typical douchebaggy thing and only go see Eminem and Lil Wayne. If not, whatever, can't be much worse than a typical NYC crowd.  ;D

Yeah, now that my initial outrage has subsided...I'd like to go. I just have too many reservations.

What were they thinking. My friend said "they won't draw their usual crowd". Well, if that's the case, what's the point? What's the appeal? WHO are they trying to draw in.

I don't have a problem with hip hop, or even something too main stream (Kayne, for example). But that's just the wrong side of hip hop. That's "shorties in da club" and "I'm a homophobic 40 year old pretending to be an angry teenager".

The rest of that is very festie friendly, even the heavier stuff.

Also, no tickets - RFID wristbands. I'm not sure how this will affect the secondary market

I'm right there with you.

Wakarusa- not the same line up but better crowd/prices/environment.
Roo- some good bands, not so good anything else. More friends going.

And NOW I find out that some form of Roth is happening this year. Shit.
