I'm conflicted

it was a month or two before lockn that they canceled. i think a big thing that hurt ticket sales last year was how late they were to actually put the tickets up for sale. they've recognized that and solved it. from what i remember about the rumors, and I have no official source, was that there were about 25,000 people there. if i had to guess, i'd bet it will go up by 10k this year. tickets are out much earlier, the lineup so far is amazing, and the reviews from last year (apart from some disorganization) were very good. the only other fest i'm even remotely interested in this year besides lockn' is Wanee; they also have one hell of a lineup. most of the other fests seem to be moving toward catering to the rave kids and dubstep crowd. roo's lineup will be out in a month. we'll see if that will be worth it. i just dont like so much of the ticket price going towards paying for shitty bands and groups i have zero interest in seeing. i have met a lot of really cool people there in the past, if you can get past all the kids. one of my favorite parts about lockn' was the maturity of the crowd and their ability to handle their party favors
