Can someone explain to me the attraction of the Lumni Lounge? I see folks on FB talking about it like it was the best thing since sliced bread but I don't get it. It was a small tent, in the back, with limited seating space in the shade, with a bar. Oh and you got a 50 cent button, which they were out of. Maybe I need to lower my expectations but I didn't see the attraction...

The beer line was shorter? I went in it solely for the purpose of going in it. The part I found amusing was how jealously it was gaurded. She MADE SURE I had a Lumni band on. Exclusivity RAWKS!!!!!

I did one little walk around looking for it and couldn't find it so I never went in. Looks like I didn't miss out on anything though.

Got a beer while charging my phone next door. Took 3 days for me to find the tent. No button or anything. Jolly fellow checked my nasty sweat-soaked Lumni wristband. Would I be correct in saying the L1 bottle opener has been the finest of gifts so far...

Yes, as well as being most comical since we are not "allowed" to bring in beer that our mighty fine lumni opener would actually, well, open.Would I be correct in saying the L1 bottle opener has been the finest of gifts so far...

Not that exclusive. My buddy asked her if she could give him a wristband. She said she would if he got her a Bold Rock. He did and wahlah, hes 'lumni. BTW, they had a manifest that they checked if you didnt get a wristband in the mail. The tent was actually useful Thursday night because the beer lines were so long due to people having to show ID. Friday night on, all the tents had short lines so never used 'lumni after that.The beer line was shorter? I went in it solely for the purpose of going in it. The part I found amusing was how jealously it was gaurded. She MADE SURE I had a Lumni band on. Exclusivity RAWKS!!!!!

Exclusivity RAWKS!!!!! may be the most sarcastically intended thing I have ever said on this board. No that was.
Friends went and got theirs from the gate lady as well and then were pissed that it was on their wrist. Many lost them almost immediately. That is why I was somewhat shocked when we finally went on Sun that she was so vigilant about making sure I had a wristband on.

the fb group was running the lounge, so they may be a little biased as to how great it was. i never made it over, so i have no opinion on the topic

I really liked the lounge!met a bunch of great folks and hung out in the shade during the heat of the day.my friends didn't really like it,but I thought it was great.a nice perk for buying your ticket early.no beer line,nice chairs,etc...saw Andie bee one night,several other friends,just a nice meet up place.

We enjoyed it and used it frequently. Shade, comfortable chairs, short lines. What really drove us there is the fact that the VIP viewing areas were just about useless. We were not willing to stand there without a defibrillator and a competent operator handy. Who thought it was a good idea to put old people in front of speakers like that? WTF !!!

I though this same thing as well. In all fairness last year both GA sections were in front of the speakers. Not sure what the solution is...Who thought it was a good idea to put old people in front of speakers like that? WTF !!!

I had no idea what the tent and area was, but the line looked short so I walked right in Thursday and Friday with no problems - ordering beers, ice and the usual stuff, then out of nowhere on Saturday these arrogant prick gatekeepers scolded me for 'trying' to sneak in with no credentials. I thought they were kidding, but they weren't laughing. I asked them where they'd been the previous 2 days because this had been my go-to oasis in the concert grounds with no hassle at all. Anyways, when I told them this was my first Lockn, they literally shoooed me away like a stray dog refusing to answer my questions I had about getting a proper wristband.

So when you saw the short beer lines in comparison to all the ungodly long lines at the other beer vendors on Thursday, and then looked up at the big 'lumni sign on the tent, you didnt say hmmm, maybe there is a reason for this short line? The "pricks" were just doing their jobs. Also, by Saturday, the other lines were just as short (or shorter) than 'lumni.

My memory is not what it used to be, so I could have missed it, but I don't recall the speaker boxes at ground level in year's past. We spent a fair amount of time at L1 in the corner wedge, at least while Furthur played. I don't recall it being painful. Wearing ear plugs didn't help. It felt like chest compressions and made me uncomfortable. At the time I blamed it on the rotating stage. Staff unable to fix the speakers at a level above the heads of those on the rail. I could be off here too but was grasping for something different about this year that could account for the set-up.
For what it's worth - I thought the sound quality at the back of the venue was better this year. I kind of linked that too, not to the rotating stage, but to the single stage set-up.

Hit the 'Lumni tent in the previous year, no big deal. Stopped in, said hi and left.
