Did anybody complete the survey they sent out yesterday? I dont recall getting this in the past but maybe I just didn't notice it. Anyway, I appreciate the fact they sent it and that they gave multiple lines for some of the questions (i.e. top 5 bands you want to see on the bill next year, things you want to see improved on, etc..).

Yep, I got it too and completed it. With the way Dave spoke about the evolution of the property, I feel like they will listen to the fans.

Yep, I filled mine out.
I told them to make the venue one big bowl, instead of 2. So they have a challenge...

Me too. If you were in the food vendor area (specifically the rear one near VIP entrance) or half of BRB, you couldn't see or barely hear anything on main stage. Yep, I filled mine out.

I filled it out yesterday and my #5 band that I want to see is
5) Not Phil & Friends... please! And not Phil with any other band really. He has been the least exciting act the last several years.
I'm totally not kidding. I'm not sure why they let you answer with so many letters but they do.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

I just took the VIP survey from CID.
I suggested more chairs in the area outside the VIP lounge and on the overlook, coffee in the VIP lounge (even just available for me to buy), and a shuttle back and forth from the far end of the VIP campground to the VIP entrance.
(first world problems, I know)
Oh and don't switch out the merch at the last minute, I didn't get what I paid for in that regard.

The VIP lounge and viewing area were nice but it needs to be right beside the main stage. Not near it, right beside it. I want to be able to walk out of the lounge and right into the viewing area in front of the stage.I just took the VIP survey from CID.

There was some exclusive area near the front, 'the hang' or something I remember seeing. That might not be the actual name, but it was something like that.The VIP lounge and viewing area were nice but it needs to be right beside the main stage. Not near it, right beside it.

Turn that into VIP and flip the VIP viewing area to the other side of the stage.
Was 'the hang' a lounge SVIP only? Or what was behind that gate?

The Hang was a side stage bar hangout that was only for the elite, super-exclusive folks like NCLockn. I mean I'm VIP and I wasn't even allowed to look in that direction and had to avert my eyes anytime I got near...There was some exclusive area near the front, 'the hang' or something I remember seeing.

The Hang was for the inner circle.
I met a guy outside the door, and had to walk backwards bowing and doing the circling hands thing.
It was the backstage access point.

I took the survey and suggested they look around here for informed and well-reasoned commentary evaluating the event.
Suggest you do the same.

I was torn on the question of whether I would be returning. I mean if you say no, do they just disregard your other answers? And if you say yes, do they feel compelled not to do anything since your coming back anyway?
Im guessing TTB and JRAD were in everybodys top 5 for returning?

Well they say that they are making improvements based on patrons input. They moved the venue so that there would be less dust, that didn't work. They said that they would provide more shade, they didn't. I saw two small sails that maybe covered fifty people, about the same as last year. Anyway hope that you decide to returnI was torn on the question of whether I would be returning. I mean if you say no, do they just disregard your other answers?

I wasnt really torn on going but torn on how to answer the question do you plan on returning. Filled out twice, one saying i was returning, the other not returning

With that being said, if they dont lose the phil sets, or relegate them to earlier on the relix stage, all bets are off.

I think they trot out Phil every year because he seems to be reliable and committed, and then he is a legitimate link to the real Grateful Dead. Bob Weir would have more pull in that regard but he's not as reliable.
So they need him to maintain the "dead-centric" brand they started with, stumbled last year and tried to recapture this year. Remember L2 with Bob and Furhur and how it almost collapsed when Bob did?
But I agree that they are betting on the wrong horse. When I first got involved in this place, I commented along the lines of "Big deal. He's just the bass player" and got all kinds of attacks as if I had been unkind about Jerry Himself.
