How is New Order not exclusive?

[stupka32]

Ripoff is beyond amazing and it's in my backyard. Just take my money and make this happen.

[nizzle]

Another festival has New Order, too.

I absolutely hate when a festival has a schedule that literally has NOTHING going on for any amount of time. Like silence, no acts playing. I noticed that Revival Ripoff does it three times, and one of those is for 45 minutes. (The other ones are for 30 and 15.) I do not like that at all.

And I think I said last time that Revival Ripoff could use a few more acts too. Holy Ghost, Battles, Danny Brown, and Fuck Buttons are playing partially unopposed sets. Options are always good. It helps with crowd control. I like that the capacity is small, but if everyone is going to be at one act, it might feel a lot like an 80,000 capacity with two or three options.

I really, really like the lineup for Revival Ripoff, but I'm going to vote for Rocky Mountain, which has crap I would never see like U2, The Avett Brothers, and Foo Fighters, but who cares because I would have the option to see Leonard Cohen, Faith No More, & Chemical Brothers instead. (The schedule worked out pretty well for me this year, nice job Rocky Mountain!)

We forgot to hire proofers. If we were allowed to fix it we would (are we?)

Nizzle, voting should be public. It's how we defeat cheaters. If you can remember the Alamo, you can remember that too.

[nizzle]

The poll options are irreversible. Sorry, I make mistakes.

[fan o gano]

It's okay!!

[carligula]

What's Alice Cooper going to do for 2+ hours?

[nizzle]

Have dinner.

[RockyMtnFestival]

What's Alice Cooper going to do for 2+ hours?

supposed to be 8:45. Sorry! It's correct on the grid to the left though.

[Krentistthedentist]

I wish I understood why Beck is playing with EC and why Danzig is playing acoustic.

[PulpAffliction]

Tremendously terrible time-table aside, I still have to give it to Revival.

[Krentistthedentist]

Oh wow pulp and I both voted for eddie vedder.

[concertgoer]

The conflicts would be brutal, but I still had to go with Rocky Mountain.

Revival might have some of the more impressive acts, but Rocky Mountain is cheaper and did their schedule much, much better. A lot more bang for the buck, and I wouldn't have any dead time whatsoever.

I vote Rocky Mountain.

I LOVE Saturday at Revival, but Friday and Sunday has gaps in the afternoon where there's nothing I'd care to see.

Ripoff has a lot of acts I like, but a lot of them I have already seen, and not much different going on from the average US festival. Though, Justin Timberlake, Justice -> M83, and Avetts -> Fleet Foxes -> MMJ make for a great time.
