I put little booze bottles in my waist band each day. They definitely felt it and didn’t care at all. I didn’t see them confiscate anything but umbrellas. 


The umbrellas thing is so stupid. I have a pair of mini (Longhorns no less) ones that clip onto my chair, they’re great for when we can’t find a good shaded spot.

They tried to take mine last year.  I was so pissed I pulled it out and threw it as far as I could chunk it.  It's the stupidest goddam thing. Hopefully someone else got it on the way out.  I got in...umbrellas everywhere.

damn sucks that Greta Van Fleet are not playing weekend 2 they fucking rocked it.  Paul was badass and certainly an experience.  Residente on Saturday is a good show too although its in Spanish but they still jam.  Metallica was awesome as well.  For me seeing Paul and Metallica was worth the price of admission.

 

As far as security goes: was half-assedly patted down on both days.  First day the lady patting down literally just ran a ruler around my stomach area and waist.  Security was definitely not as strict as last year.  Took plenty of joints with me and my dab pen.  Twas a good time.

Picked up a pair of VIP tickets for Saturday off of VividSeats.com and an empty UPS envelope was delivered today. I was ready to fucking rage on someone but with no discussion they replaced the wristbands and shipped them out overnight for delivery by 10:30AM on Friday.  I was on the phone with their customer service for maybe 90 seconds total.  Great customer service if anybody is on the fence for using them for tickets.

Are you bringing a Dirt Bike flag?

Saw a great flag on Saturday evening between HomeAway and AmEx stages.  It was simple gray rectangle.  It read:

"This is my flag

There are many others like it

But this one is mine."

Update on my replacement VIP wristbands.

UPS guy showed up and delivered the replacement wristbands. He then hands me another envelope...It's been torn open and has a single general admission wristband in it.

So somehow, I know have 3 wristbands but only paid for 2.

No idea what the fuck is going on but oh well.

Now have heard multiple people in the beer tent praise last week’s show from the revolution.

definitely going tomorrow to see them.  His songs stand the test of time.  I'm sure they put some passion into the show that a normal "tribute" band wouldn't and yes, I know they aren't a traditional tribute band.

Snuck into the VIP tent with my staff band for Metallica.

View wise, and bar wise the VIP pass is the way to go. Too bad it was filled with doichenozzles who wanted to talk the whole time.

Who was the asshole who tried to put on Dodgers/Brewers pregame while the Ags were playing? I’ve never seen so many sheep fuckers jump up and march off to the bar in righteous indignation so fast. I was laughing so hard. That guy was the most hated man in aggyland for the five minutes the aggy game wasn’t on. Hi. Larious.

A few more of Macca from Week 1, since we're singing his praises (which we cannot do nearly enough, even if we started today and didn't stop until we each kicked the bucket):

In order, they're:
Opening (A Hard Day's Night)
Let Me Roll With It
Blackbird (sublime doesn't even describe a shitty description of this performance)
Let It Be (people should be forced to watch this once a day; society would immediately become perfect)

Hahahaha

That was the manager.

That said, I was the one they were bitching at - big bearded guy. You wouldn’t believe the shit I heard.

“How come you have the tu game on”

“Aggy is more important than playoff baseball”

And seriously....

“We are in the sec”


I also had a pair of Georgia fans offer me $100 to put on GA/LSU. While they were standing there talking to me (and I was seriously considering it) the 15th aggy came up to me and asked me to change it.

GA fan to aggy —- “no one cares about your games”.

I seriously chortled.

Aggy lady’s mouth dropped open.

At which point she tried another tactic/“power.move”. She said she was offended that we scanned the guide and they she saw a lesbian porn title. Said she will call C3 and it will “cost me my job”.

Seriously.


I suppose I should post this on the tell me about aggy page also...

Sounds from down here at Barton Skyway that Travis Scott started late and ended about 15 minutes early.  Was that due to weather (I don't feel the cold front quite yet) or because he sucks?

You hit up the production after-party?  Don't know if they still do that, but you posting at this hour made me think you were.  It's like 2:01a at a regular bar there with all the groupies still trying to hook up with somebody, anybody in a band.  

Anyway, great festival as always.  On to next year...

Yes. Well not sure if by production party you mean the VIP party. But...yes.


Festival was outstanding. Will work again.
