9/8/2010 12:22:38 PM

311 Blake St. (City Market)

for some reason you can get the regular wristbands today, but the VIPs not until tomorrow

9/8/2010 12:30:25 PM

^ yep

are you dudes going to the VIP deal tomorrow?

9/8/2010 12:33:29 PM

wait, so did you get your regular ones today and you'll get your VIP one tomorrow? i thought you only got one or the other.

also, i'll probably miss the party because tomorrow is INSANE for me

9/8/2010 12:36:05 PM

I picked up my regular one today, but my friend got 2 VIP passes from work so I am giving my roommate my all-day wristband and taking full advantage of the VIP amenities

PS: check out WRAL right now

9/8/2010 12:40:02 PM

PUMPED AS SHIT FOR THIS

9/8/2010 12:52:28 PM

i can't go now and had to give away my vip tickets.

9/8/2010 1:00:24 PM

Thursday: Can't go
Friday: Ryan Gustafson, Sharon Van Etten, Ben Frost, Atlas Sound
Saturday: the whole Motorskills/Tiger City/The Golden Filter/Washed Out show

9/8/2010 6:43:38 PM

i can't believe i missed that Deakin is coming, yessss

first show too

9/8/2010 7:29:33 PM

If anybody has tix to the two main shows they wanna sell "for less than face value", I'm game.

9/8/2010 9:38:34 PM

Hammer No More the Fingers are playing a show at Tir Na Nog from noon-6 on Saturday (...probably not JUST them doing a 6 hour setlist, but their facebook page didn't give me any additional information)... so I'm going to that, assuming that we can get in without event tickets (it's before 8 pm, so I'd expect to be able to...).

Besides that, though, no ticket = no shows for me.

9/8/2010 9:41:15 PM

I've got tomorrow planned, but that's it.

Wait for my lady friend to get in town, go to Lincoln, try to bust ass to get to the Berkley, and fucking profit.

Then I'm winging it; hoping to wake up early enough to plan out all this day party shit for that day.

And I'm thinking the night performances won't be too problematic, since a lot of these bands are pure fucking dogshit for 19 year-olds to love...

9/8/2010 9:45:19 PM

THURS: Gray Young/Cults/Best Coast/Sleepy Sun/Akron/Family (and maybe a little bit of Double Dagger, Deakin, Future Islands, and Ocean depending on how off the showtimes are and how the VIP lines are working)

FRI: The Rosebuds/Broken Social Scene/Panda Bear/Spider Bags/Sharon van Etten/The War on Drugs/Atlas Sound (maybe: Ryan Gustafson, Double Negative, Harlem, Fucked Up--I really wanted to see Fucked Up but am going to Atlas Sound mostly for the chances that he might do "Walkabout" with Panda Bear)

SAT: The Love Language/No Age/PUBLIC FUCKING ENEMY/NOMO/Bear in Heaven/Washed Out (maybe: Dungen, Tortoise--hate missing both these two--, The Golden Filter, The Light Pines)

PUMPED

9/8/2010 10:01:51 PM

if anyone knows of someone looking to sell a club pass, point them in my direction!

9/8/2010 11:14:36 PM

can anyone confirm what time rosebuds go on tomorrow?

9/9/2010 9:43:59 AM

Schedule says 5:30, but you know those things never start on time

9/9/2010 9:49:22 AM

I think that show will definitely start on time. If they start late at all, I don't think it'll be more than a few minutes. The schedule is so tight...At least, this is what I keep telling myself because I don't want to miss some of the awesome club shows because Panda Bear started a half-hour later than scheduled.

9/9/2010 10:10:31 AM

the email I got yesterday said the Rosebuds go on at 6:00

9/9/2010 12:31:37 PM

fuck...im going to have to leave straight from work to the show

9/9/2010 12:41:10 PM

hmm.. the hopscotch iPhone app has sharon van etten going on at 11:30, but the website says 10:30. this is no good.

9/9/2010 1:22:50 PM

9/9/2010 1:22:50 PM

she's playing a day show too if you can't see her at night

9/9/2010 1:35:03 PM

I think I might go to the day show instead of the night

9/9/2010 2:27:42 PM

ditto

9/9/2010 2:29:04 PM

just picked up my wristbands and now my friend doing the festival with me can't get to raleigh until tomorrow. there's no way i could give her bracelet to someone else just for tonight is there?

9/9/2010 2:43:07 PM

could you get it off without scissors?

9/9/2010 2:54:39 PM

^i'm afraid to try.

9/9/2010 2:57:17 PM

still shuffling my schedule around until the last minute

9/9/2010 3:00:31 PM

^^ will be staying as far away from that as possible. you over-21 people dodged a bullet when they announced it'd be a 21+ show. i imagine that wipes out about 75% of the best coast demographic

9/9/2010 3:13:13 PM

my friend went to FYF in LA last week and said Cults were pretty bad live. i'll probably try to catch a little of Best Coast but I imagine it's gonna be crazy packed

9/9/2010 3:42:50 PM

plus kinda wanna rock to javelin cause that is a guaranteed good time

i wanna see some of best coast, though

9/9/2010 4:45:45 PM

I had to refund my wristband and tickets because I have a "SURPRISE FUNERAL" on saturday that I really have to go to, so I'm missing pretty much everything.

I'm debating whether or not to keep my ticket and just hit up the headlining concert on Friday. I just realized today I have no idea how transportation will be, is there going to be an opportunity to park downtown?

9/9/2010 5:04:24 PM

anyone have a club show wristband or vip wristband they aren't using for just tonight???

9/9/2010 6:03:35 PM

So, dumb question, can you buy tickets at The door for individual shows?

9/9/2010 6:36:50 PM

yeah, but quantities will apparently be very limited

9/9/2010 7:09:13 PM

berkeley opens at 830.

9/9/2010 7:56:43 PM

couldn't get in to see Future Islands but the rest of the night was fun.

9/10/2010 2:19:18 AM

^ I had that same issue, but it was a good time otherwise.

9/10/2010 2:20:59 AM

Future Islands were fucking awesome.

I went with Berkeley Cafe all the way.



Allow me to the world's biggest retard for a moment:

are these stupid wrist bands supposed to stay on for 3 fucking days, or are the clasps detachable? I don't want to break the fucker.

[Edited on September 10, 2010 at 2:41 AM. Reason : ...]

9/10/2010 2:34:34 AM

I saw Ear Pwr up front and then was like 'I'll check out Cults!'

got to tir na nog and decided it was too crowded.

went to five star for deakin.

he was the second worst live musician i have ever seen.

went back to berkeley for the rest of the night.

I can only assume that my seeing Double Dagger instead of Best Coast was the best decision of all time.

Future Islands killed it.

But I still want to see Flicker and Flutter, JUST ONCE.

^what do you look like, i assume i saw you/exchanged sweat with you.

[Edited on September 10, 2010 at 3:34 AM. Reason : .]

9/10/2010 3:33:24 AM

All I hope is that I can get into the Tortoise show.

9/10/2010 3:35:46 AM

VIP Party->EAR PWR>Pictureplane (awesome)> Best Coast> Javelin> Future Islands>Akron/Family

night 1=success
