Ciaran, yeahp, duplicate event. the mezz show is the right one.

Isn't this the same line-up that's supposedly playing at Mezzanine on the same night?

The show ends at 2 AM so I would not really expect the music to start much before 9 PM. It will be a late night I think. Glad to see they added Audrye Sessions. This is actually a damn good lineup. Aaron did a great job signing up bands this year.

Where did you find out that they would be on at 2 AM?

Daniel T said

Not bad at all. I agree with Amy ... not quite 7 pm ... more like the am hours of Thursday.

Jealous. This show kicked ass, no doubt.

Yeah, I really wanted to like this but it was just completely impractical to see the bands I wanted to in any way that made me feel a connection to them, plus the fact that so many irritating meatheads like the same music I do was kind of depressing to me.

On the plus side, biking to and from the event was amazingly smooth. The SFBC deserves huge kudos for their valet bike parking efforts.

transportation/muni nightmare both coming a going. radiohead was great (minus the sound outages). shitty scheduling with too many bands overlapping so that you had to pick and choose whom to see. meh

Yeah, things were in some disarray Friday night and the sound cut-outs were pretty mind-boggling. But otherwise it was awesome. I hope they do it next year. Although at that price, they'll need to have a line-up just as strong to get me in for 3 days.
