Fest 11!

Peej confirmed its gonna be October 26th-28th so its offically not-too-early to start talking about it.

Is the hotdog going to be returning Colin or are you going to surprize us with something else this year?

I've got some tricks up my sleeve for this year...But I'll be donning the hotdog again come October. Hopefully people are down for what I'm trying to pull.

In fact, I was thinking about breaking it out for the BtMI/Classics of Love mega show at the Church. But I don't think it would be right.

What are some bands you want to be there Drew? I'm hoping for (trying not to repeat any from last year) :

CSTVT
Joyce Manor
Direct Hit!
Lifetime
Hard Skin
Candy Hearts
Fakey P's
Street Smart Cyclist
Murder City Devils - Headliner
Seaweed
The Lawrence Arms - Headliner
Crucial Dudes
Hostage Calm
End of a Year
I Am The Avalanche

As soon as I posted that I remembered some more...gah I'm excited

If I don't make any major summer trips than I'm hands down going to this.

Family Reunion time fuckers!

Ceremony
Balance and Composure
Gods and Queens
Rival Schools
Title Fight
Fucked Up
Have Nots
Defect Defect
Pissed Jeans
Daylight


Now to hop aboard the outrageous reunion/never gonna happen train:
Jawbreaker
Quicksand
The Observers
Refused (haha, I even feel stupid writing it)

Dude never to early to start making plans

Fakey Ps and Franky Ts would both certainly go a long way towards making me go back (don't wanna commit to it before seeing the lineup =P)

Loved Ones and/or Larry Arms (lets say and) would be awesome as well.

Lots of bands that played last year I'd love to see again (Flatliners, Menzingers, Banquets, BLR, Junior Battles, Mixtapes...). There were a bunch i'd enjoy seeing I missed due to conflicts. Most of the bands in the scene that I was familiar with actually played last year, so there are not a ton of others I'd really love to see. Probably just means I should check out moar bands =P

If we're talking bands that no way will ever fucking happen, Descendents would be sick.

Flatliners/Menzingers and Dead Landlord/Banner Pilot scheduling sucked last year. But there are so many good bands it really doesn't matter where you go.

Descendents would be sick. They were pretty good at Riot Fest, PJ and Tony don't have that kind of money though.

Speaking of Banner Pilot and Fest just got back from of a show of their's with Broadway Calls. Hadn't actually listened to a ton of their stuff before but I had nothing better to do, liked the stuff I had heard and like Broadway Calls.

no Fakey Ps or Menzingers currently, but those could have just been missed. Awesome to see Frank Turner back on there too.

Now we just need Tony to confirm the lineup and give us a date we can expect tickets to go on sale =D

lame

You're still planning on going, right Colin? Wanna help me kidnap Sanam the day before?

Planning on it! For both accounts

Official fest announcement is up! http://www.thefestfl.com/fest11/news

Registration is goanna start on April 20th. I'm busy that weekend, so hopefully the hotel rooms won't sell out by Monday. Let me know if your interested and if you wanna do Friday-Sat-Sun or add Thursday as well. (Apparently there are gonna be some pre-fest shows in Gainsville proper this year rather than Tampa. Plus early registration. But it might be cheaper to find a motel on Thursday... and only use holiday inn for Fest proper)

Yeah I'll let you know whats up with me. Prob figure everything out by summer

fuck so who got their ticket already?

I'm def going to try. I do not want to upset @JADEDPUNKHULK on twitter.

I'm planning on going to chicago this summer but if that falls through. Fest 11 is the plan.

Wow they sold 1,500 passes in one day and the holiday inn sold out in 45 minutes. This thing is getting to be huge.

Bummer that Holiday Inn is already sold out... now I donno if I should wait and see if some more spots open up and I can grab them or just pick some other one (and if so... where). Like, not too disappointed to miss out on the holiday inn festitives, but I imagine others going would be. I'm honestly content to have a place I can sleep and store my stuff without it getting stolen.

Tickets bought. At the rate they are going I certainly didn't want to wait on that. Now that the Menzingers and Front Bottoms got added the lineup is even more stacked. Still needs some Fake Problems/Banquests/Sharks but there are already going to be some painful collisions. Those three would just make it worse.

why is no one talking about Titus being added to the line!?

He's honestly not a favorite of mine. I'll see him if it fits in my schedule, but won't go out of my way to do so.

I really don't like titus andronicus.... not my favorite live band either.

I'm officially going! First Fest ever...super excited for this.

Dunno if I can go this year because of student teaching. It was honestly the best 3 days of life though. Shit got real, real quick.
