I started a Spotify playlist for this so I can investigate some of the artists I don't know anything about. Didn't include everything by all the listed artists -- Cale, Reich, Hecker et al would make it pretty unwieldy -- but it'll be a jumping off point for more digging.

Getting pretty stoked -- friends from London and Amsterdam are making "I might come to this" noises.

Dang, the London pal already booked flight and hotel, he's not kidding around.

i am within inches of making a decision about this, but i have a question that may determine whether or not this is worthwhile for me --
are they going to save john cale for sunday night? do they put big headliners in the middle or at the end (like most festivals ime) of the weekend? if it's at the end, i would have to miss JC and that would be terrible. if there is evidence that they may put him in the middle, i could live with missing jonny greenwood or w/e.

Wish I had any wisdom, but the festival is so new I can't see many trends in past scheduling.

Johnny Greenwood is playing a Steve Reich piece. I mean, I'm def in the LOL RADOIHEAD ATEASE camp too, but he's not gonna be bloppin out "fake plastic trees" or somethin
― lisa 龜 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 5 January 2014 19:47 (ten years ago) link
I figured as much, I just have a solo 8 hour drive to budget for and I'm wondering if I can live with missing Sunday night.

take monday off work
― lisa 龜 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 5 January 2014 20:43 (ten years ago) link
as tempting as reich-bloppin is, my job doesn't really let me take a day off whenever i want, plus i would have to be gone on friday as well. anyway, i'll figure it out. just wanted to see if someone had insight about the schedule.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Sunday, 5 January 2014 20:52 (ten years ago) link
when terry reilly was a headliner he played on more than one day iirc? vastly different sets tho, one was an organ concert

also come to this and lets hang out!
i really want to! maybe if i just buy the ticket, everything else will slowly come together.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Monday, 6 January 2014 22:10 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, Riley played 4 different concerts over the 3 days.
― oldbowie (WilliamC), Monday, 6 January 2014 23:07 (ten years ago) link
ok, ticket has been purchased. when should i start worrying about arranging lodging?

I still need to book a hotel room too :/
― Mmm yes hello (crüt), Monday, 6 January 2014 23:42 (ten years ago) link
Fwiw we have an upstairs bedroom with its own bathroom that a couple ppl can crash in if you want. There's a bed and air mattress. Email if you want -- jmaysh4rk AT gee mail. (That 4 shd be an a, obv.) We're just outside downtown.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Monday, 6 January 2014 23:53 (ten years ago) link
iiiiiinteresting!! is downtown where we want to be staying? last time i was in knoxville we stayed in a cabin near the park (what a bummer to go all the way there and not go hiking but i doubt there will be time for that, unless there is!)
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 00:42 (ten years ago) link
to clarify -- last time i went there specifically to go hiking; this time, no (or maybe?)
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 00:43 (ten years ago) link
All the Big Ears stuff is downtown. Hiking stuff not so much, though there are some nice trails not far across the river.

this fest is like one act from getting me to go. Like, if they announce Matana Roberts or Ben Frost or Laurel Halo or something, I'll take it as a sign than I can spare the $150. But that's a lotta money esp when you factor in travel, accommodations, food, etc
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 10 January 2014 23:05 (ten years ago) link
i'd have somewhere to stay, but I can't take off work. :(

― Esa-Pekka Merkerson (get bent), Saturday, 11 January 2014 06:19 (ten years ago) link
Checked the website last night and there are still some $150 passes left before they move up to the $175 passes. Nowhere near selling out completely, unless they're only selling a half dozen $175 passes.

The normal rules do not apply to World's Fair structures. They have an inherent and timeless cool factor. If they stuck a Chili's in the Tower of the Americas I would eat there.

naw its like 1000 times less cool than a chili's because it's a very "cool" place

perhaps if I go on a Tuesday at 4pm
