dante3000 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've heard he gets asked every year but he wants too much money, I think if he could be convinced either, A) it'd be good publicity or he'd sell a shit ton of merch it might be possible. I would love to see him at the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see him at the venue. It would be very easy to convince him of both I'd imagine. And C) that it's the best party ever. And we all know his stance on those.

Guest genericinsight Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are the bands getting released on July 1st? I'd say its a fair assumption some bands will be announced when the whole site goes up, but bands always get added afterwards up until the actual Fest too.

I would love to see him at the venue. His asking price is something like $20,000. Well, I shouldn't say "his," it's more like "his booking agent's." It's such a bummer.

I suppose if they book it like a one off, that's possible. Too bad, I think he'd be a great fit and (from all I've seen/heard) he seems like a genuine guy. But no amount of letter writing is dropping $18,000 off that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Who got him to play that show at Emos last July 4th? I'm guessing they didn't pay $20,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest genericinsight Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 So question. Is anyone planning on being there on Thursday? I'm flying down on an awards flight this year and all I was able to get were Thursday flights (Friday only allowed me one at like 9:30pm to leave NY... no way). I wanted to get there a day early since I'm going to be tabling at the flea market on Friday afternoon, give me a chance to set up most likely before the craziness... but I'm stuck there for basically the whole day. Only flight I could get that would coordinate with the Runways shuttle time schedule from Jacksonville airport will now get me into Gainesville at like 1pm that day. I know there's usually a pre-Fest show or shows that go on, but I'm going to be likely all by myself on Thursday for most of the day since all the folks I'm rooming/going with are getting down there the next day. Is there normally more than one pre-show? Any other cool pre-Fest stuff that happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfasspunkshow Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i was told it was and its $170.00 a room this year...this is from a damn reliable source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 wow, that's a lot. I'm going to have to think really hard about staying there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somanycolors Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 As much as I've heard about the official Fest hotels been a lot of fun, that is just too much. A couple friends and I have already found rooms at the Paramount with round trip airfare for under $2,000 for all of us. Are they going to release any band names tomorrow when passes go on sale?

controlthebleeding Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i was told it was and its $170.00 a room this year...this is from a damn reliable source this is pretty much like last year. if you have 4 people with you in a room, it's not so much.

controlthebleeding Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 and to think I could have booked a room earlier for $120-ish... actually i think they block them during fest. you would have been reimbursed or something. i think someone did this last year and thats what happened.

somanycolors Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Quoting Peej over at the Fest board just a heads up guys, tickets aren't going to happen today. The web designer guys had a bad crash and are having some issues.Tickets didn't go on sale last year until August 26th so don't fret, everyone who wants one will get one. You should know by now not to hold us to silly things like "specific dates", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
