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.

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

― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Monday, 6 January 2014 23:40 (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.

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. :(

and jimmywine otm, if i hadn't already seen some of these acts i'd be there in a heartbeat.

plus the money thing, but ya know
― 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.

Kinda dreading the schedule now -- I think there are going to be some hard choices to make.

Just got the emailed version with a few more details: O'Malley/Ambarchi duo will be "performing compositions by Alvin Lucier, Iancu Dumitrescu and more."

Has there ever been an American festival that has pulled off an avant thing of this scale?
― lisa 龜 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 16 January 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link
Maybe Sonic Youth ATP in 2002?

xp -- yeah, at BE#2 I caught up with Ashley Capps and thanked him for a festival that didn't take a day and a half of travel time each way. He said FIMAV was kind of in his mind when he started conceiving BE.
― channel 9's meaty urologist (WilliamC), Thursday, 16 January 2014 20:57 (ten years ago) link
man, one of my dreams is to get together with SASSAS or dublab or some other hub of socal experimental music and assemble a festival like this for los angeles. an anti-coachella.
― Esa-Pekka Merkerson (get bent), Thursday, 16 January 2014 21:02 (ten years ago) link
Ashley rules, glad he's redoubling his efforts on this festival and I wish I could go.
