I'd guess that's what it stands for. Sean started using Fuck Yeah Fest as a catchall for his promotions around LA, so now there are shows labeled Fuck Yeah Fest presents. I guess it's his company now.

Lightning Bolt makes this thread win!

[woogie846]

Aww man, if NIN at the Wiltern wasn't on the same day I'd totally be there.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

this is a very awesome lineup! Really surprised to see both Converge and Lucero on there..where is this park?

[dorkfish]

I hope some of this lineup ends up at ATP New York.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

just looked up the location...strange I'd never heard of this place. Anyhoo, sounds good to me!

I wonder what the capacity is.

[jtovar21]

LIGHTNING BOLT FTW!!

[Ardentbiscuit]

I think the line up is a total win too.

I've been to the park. It was one of the first parks built near the first LA neighborhood (I'm getting this from Huell Hower's special on the park).

It's right next to Chinatown near the Goldline tracks.

They also do other events there like the Cirque Bezerk so it can handle the event.

It's a nice oasis in the middle of the industrial over built city.

EDIT:

Here is a video of the park. This guy ran into Huell Howser while he was doing the special.

Huell left the encounter in his episode! Pretty cool!

And it gives you a good idea what the park looks like.

Wow, I never knew what that was.

Thanks for the info!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

so depending on how late this thing gpoes, we could just take the Metro and not worry about parking over there! Awesome!

Just so everyone is forewarned though, it is going to fucking hot as balls around that time. labor day weekend has been the hottest weekend of the year the last couple years...

[Ardentbiscuit]

The closest station I saw was in Chinatown at the end closest to where you turn up to Dodger Stadium but it's not that far. It's totally walkable.

[pancakespancakes]

This lineup is way too much awesome. Wow. I am excited.





LIGHTNING BOLT!

[bmack86]

it's a five minute walk from the train station to the entrance of the park according to google maps. Totally taking the subway.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Boardie train ride meet up!

[woogie846]

Depending on the set times, maybe I'll stop by for an hour or two before NIN.

[Boourns]

Park looks cool; I have a good feeling about this.

[dorkfish]

Also, you can trade 12-hours of volunteer work for 2 free tickets to FYF Fest

Which I am doing. Helping people = feels good. Not spending $40 = also feels good.

Yeah it's actually the first stop on the Goldline from Union Station. You could probably even walk there from Union Station.

[PassiveTheory]

This is a pretty awesome lineup, shame I'm gonna miss it.

[pancakespancakes]

I'm thinkin I might Amtrak it up from San Diego for this. Depends on how many people come with me though, and it's also lame that there are no trains running at night. But the proximity to Union Station is pretty awesome.

Just go to their Deerhunter event!
