    Cloud Nothings, Flying Lotus, and Godspeed were the highlights of Saturday for me. Still don't see what the fuss is about Sleigh Bells though. They seem overly pretentious and more into selling themselves than playing music.

    Araabmuzik, Beach House, and Vampire Weekend were great. Seeing them all in a row was even better.

    Went Saturday only. Pissed I ended up missing grimes, but Flylo and Sleigh Bells were the highlights for me. Wild Flag wasn't bad either. What I heard of Godspeed as I headed out sounded good

    I would be absolutely delighted if some kind soul that is either exceedingly altruistic or unable to go the show would contact me about offering a Saturday ticket. I am able to pay upwards of $50, and I would be floored by this person's generosity. Plus, I could offer my prostituting services for whomever rises to the occaison. Please, contact me. Have a nice life.

    Yeah. I'd recommend printing out multiple copies because I don't like the chances of one sheet of paper making it through all weekend.

    Hey guys, question. Do three-day-passes come in the form of one ticket that you present at the gates for all three days?

    Two ladies and I are coming from Australia for this! We're actually in a little folk ensemble called "We're From Out Of Town And Would Love A Weed Hookup", so if there's any gigs going, hit me up.
