    Yeah, Friday was so packed, we were in line for about 2 hours before getting in because we had got will call. It was so unorganized.

    I think the organizers were really overwhelmed by the turnout. For a first attempt, I think it was a success and next year will be better, organization-wise (hopefully). I spent a good chunk of time in line to get in as well.

    Yeah, I got there about an hour before gates on Saturday's show, so I was at the front of the line. Actually, just waiting the whole other hour after for the Strange Boys to start was much worse.

    Where are you going to find that for less than $20.
    Hats off to Free Press/Summerfest. Well done for a premier festival.

    I was lucky enough to have services requested by EITS.
    Great set...perfect time of the evening for their music.

    Exactly! $20 for two days worth of great shows. Day two was just as worthwhile as day one (How about that Ume! Seemed like everyone who was at Stage 2 for their show was as impressed as I was! They put on a Stage 1 level performance).

    Yeah my friend is a big fan of Ume and was a little disappointed they delayed the times due to the "rain". It was a great festival!

    Hey did you by chance happen to get a look at that weird kid who kept walking around all over the place with his monk-like attire i suppose. He was on something or just really really happy

    Check out that kid haha.

  7. Wow! I would have loved to have seen Explosions in the Sky. Very cool.

    haha that's so crazy because i was looking at the photographer as he was taking that picture. That kid was awesome and so was the read. Thanks! It'd be neat if the ACL had a vibe like that festival, there sure were a lot of things going on.

    All right - So I just want to say that Mountain to Sound from the first show on this set is just AWESOME!!!

    Wasn't able to be at the show (I'm from Pennsylvania), but this whole show is amazing and I'm so glad they made these available to the fans. Just amazing live performances.

    Go Spoon!

    The first night's the best - I think everyone would agree.
