The blue stage was my fav. Why has no one been talking about The Cool Kids set on Saturday night? They absolutley destroyed that crowd. I wish they would’ve gone on for another hour. DJ NuMark and Kid Sister were also show stoppers.
Major Loser of FFF? Car Stereo (Wars). That guy put on the worst, most boring show of the fest and perhaps the year. He was even out classed by the nachos and beer.
All in all though, a stellar fest.

That’s funny. I was born in Austin, and I remember smoking pot when I was 14 back in 94. Maybe now I just think most people need to get a life, and do something productive…it’s just an opinion.

“why do all these people selling glass pipes to ridiculous fools who still smoke pot get the front spot.”

when did you move to austin? yesterday? 90 percent of the people that live in this town are stoners, including all your favorite bands and the people that book their shows. you sound like somebody’s uptight grandma.

Exactly, but a lot of the bands I wanted to see were on the Yellow, such as Harlem, Strange Boys, Destroyer, King Khan, Metallagher. And, I really could hear the Black Stage during half the shows at the Orange Stage. Not sure if this was the Black Stage’s fault, or the Orange’s.

The only stage I feel that was screwed was the yellow stage. While I only went to see a couple of performers over there they probably could’ve been placed in a more secluded location. I think they would’ve switched the Yellow and Blue Stages the sound would’ve evened out a bit more.

I agree the Black Stage was too loud. Trying to hear Todd Barry over 7 Seconds was impossible.

But other than that I will choose not to complain.
