[Ardentbiscuit]

This looks great for a free festival! Wow!

even if they're on different days, what's stopping you from going both days? it's free. even if there's just one band you want to see each day, you can show up just for them.

also:

[aphrael]

I look forward to the slam dancing in GGP ...

[dorkfish]

MC Hammer and Elvis Costello were added today

[unitedwestand]

holy crap. those r some NICE additions. I might have to go to this

[dorkfish]

gee, I wonder if Pegi Young will bring out her husband?

[Backwater]

If you go don't miss Iron and Wine, Ricky Skaggs, and Jerry Douglas.

This fest is really fun and since it's in golden gate park and is free it's pretty easy bringing in whatever you want (booze, food, water etc). LAst year was a lot of fun.

[zenidogx]

grr. same weekend as detour!

[Backwater]

I'm going to Sunset Junction, then Hardley Strictly. I'll save so much money instead of OSL - Detour and still see so many great bands.

[bballarl]

Nick Lowe? Rad. I might be home this weekend to see Sigur Ros...if that is the case, I am definitely going to check out this fest.

i'm going back to school Aug 25 and have to move in the week before, so i'll miss sunset junction and go to OSL since i'm closer. Detour has a great lineup and Oct 5 i'm going to be baptizin', so i'm back down here.

otherwise, i'd join you in getting the most quality out of a buck.

[rage patton]

I can't believe this is free. I am extremely jelous.

[Backwater]

MC Hammer, at a bluegrass festival? Is that some kind of joke? I really like bluegrass and I think this lineup is actually better than Detour, although this lineup is much bigger so it's hard to compare.

[PassiveTheory]

Might be seeing Gogol for the first time at this... yeehaw!

[zenidogx]

two coachellas and no gogol? are you mad, man?!

[jigsaw]

damn, san fran has it going on.

[PassiveTheory]

two coachellas and no gogol? are you mad, man?!

I know... I fucked up. In 07', Faithless (by fat the best performance of the weekend) took all my energy from out of me, so by the time I stumbled into the Gogol tent, all the energy I could muster was to take a blurry shot of Eugene from a'far before finding some place to sit down. And in 08' I had to see fucking Swervedriver instead because I wanted a good spot for Spiritualized.

[shakermaker113]

mc hammer? are you kidding?

I hope he plays sunday. I will definitely be going sunday. saturday I'm not sure, as it conflicts with love fest.

[unitedwestand]

WTF

[chiapet]

I work from home on Fridays (and live in the richmond), so I'm considering going for hammer time :P

[shakermaker113]

take pictures! and/or video!

[Backwater]

I'm also considering going, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he doesn't show up.

[PassiveTheory]

I'm going Sunday, I think.

[theburiedlife]

That's right you are.

[Geno_g]

I could probably only go Friday, oh well, if any one is going Saturday catch Asleep at the Wheel, I like them, also sunday looks the best, Gorgol, oh well this week is MBV any ways...

[TomAz]

shit. I wish I could go to this. It's be worth is for Mark Olson & Gary Louris alone. I had no idea Olson had re-joined the Jayhawks.

Iris Dement is awesome. Truly exceptional.


Elvis Costello. Steve Earle. Jon Langford. holy shit. Dave Alvin. Nick Lowe. Richard Thompson. Emmylou Harris.
