Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Solution: convert the beer jail to Juvie and lock up all the unrestrained in that cage; let the adults enjoy beer and music together as God intended. I'm 100% with Worf. No one should be allowed to annoy other patrons no matter how young they are. it's the extension of the old saying that the only concert where one should bring an infant is a bagpipe concert. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

Seriously, if you don't get early entry, you can't get anywhere near the stage. I wouldn't care too much, but the sound where we were was...not good. And if you get early entry, you have to get there on Tuesday. I mean, they'll let you in later, but the entire front will be covered with chairs. That will stay there all weekend. Some will never be used. Because they allow that. There is a pit in front of that, I think, but let's face it - the pit isn't for everyone.
There is some shade in the back field, which is nice. An umbrella will block the sun, but it's literally a couple degrees cooler under a tree. Of course, it's also a perfect place for wee ones to play, so not ideal for those of for whom their exuberant little voices are like nails on a chalkboard.
But that can't be helped - during the day. Children and families have as much right to blah blah blah, but I'm accustomed to children going to bed. At some point. But Watermelon Park is Lit For Your Protection (and probably for that cop too, more on that later). For some reason, bright non-amber street lights are left on for the duration of the evening. And while I couldn't give a care that the children are given every manner of light-up doo-dad - no worse than the young adults - tambourines? Really? Cranky, over-stimulated, sugared pre- and elementary school age kids given percussion instruments? In the middle of Stringdusters?
And that security. Like some caricature of police brutality. Porn 'stache and all. Wore his gun outside his pants, for all the honest world to feel.
Now some of you parents and other with nurturing tendencies are probably laughing up your sleeve at me about the kids and the tambourines and stuff, thinking, "Can't you just tune it out?" No, I can't. I seriously can't. If I could, I wouldn't have bothered to type all this. I am, in fact, getting neurological and formal developmental disability testing, in part because of my experience with this fest.
But I'm not the only one who feels this way to some degree. I just want to be clear that it doesn't mean I, or anyone else, hate children or families.
