I doubt that's not gonna work, man. Each venue will have lines out the door. Your plan to leave and jump from one venue to the other will mean you'll have to wait in those lines and risk missing an entire band's set. So you'll be spending most of your time running between venues and standing in lines than actually seeing the bands... and this is regardless of the fact that, well, this is live rock'n'roll, and when has a live rock'n'roll show EVER gone according to schedule right down to the minute? I'm speaking as a long-time showgoer as well as a promoter. Shows start late, bands play too long, take too long to changeover, sets get cut short, etc. Again, if this were all happening at one venue it wouldn't be such a big deal, but we're talking about a couple dozen bands at FOUR different venues... those scheduled times need to be taken with a huge grain of salt. And how these things work is to gain entrance at any other venue you'll have to wait until someone leaves... with free shows they'll be at capacity all day long. I just don't see it happening. So I'm planning on picking ONE venue to go to and stay there all day.

Unless someone can prove to me that I'm full of shit and that what I just wrote won't be the case at all. Anyone?

I'm still going, but I'm definitely a lot LESS enthused about this than I was originally. While there are a ton of great bands playing (and, hell, it's FREE), the thing is, you're not going to see most of them. Take the headliners at each venue as an example... you'll be able to catch one, but that's it. No way you're going to be able to leave, say, King Khan and get in to see the Oblivians. It just ain't happenin'. Same w/ the Gories. Go to see them and then leave and try to get in at the Granada or Liberty Hall for one of the other shows? Good luck!
But even so, it's FREE, and I'm sure it'll be fun just to be hanging around downtown Larryville with all the garage freaks and bands and stuff. Should be pretty wild.

True, but after this week I won't have a data plan on my phone anymore :( so I will be at the mercy of those who would be willing to text Recordgrooves said:

That is where twitter would be a benefit.

Ruby Soleil said:

Those of us who are going should all friend one another, exchange phone numbers so that we can text each other at the fest. That way we would know in advance of walking over whether or not we stood a chance at gaining entry. What do you guys think?

WOW!! Great lineup. Won't make it there but WOW!!!!!!!!!! kopper said:

Yeah, my wife and I used to live in Lawrence. I miss that town!

How did they handle the free admission thing last year in Portland? I'm just curious how they're going to make this work w/ free admission and a ton of bands all playing on the same day...

Alex Patton said:

God Damn! I went to last years in Portland and it was a real good time. Lawrence KS is a cool town too.

If anyone drifts into Lawrence a night early looking for something to do, The Replay is hosting a rockin' pre-party. Not that anyone here is into, y;know, going to rock shows or anything, heh heh.

This babe, right here Slymenstra Hymen

I do like one thing by them when they teamed with Motorhead to do this Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover, but this could have easily been done by the Pandoras, Brood, or Runaways as well.

Ask Jeff Jarema, he compiled and wrote the liner notes for both volumes (I think! The 1st for sure). He may be on facebook.
