I was so sure that last year's APW festival would be my first and last. It really wasn't a great experience, even with Radiohead. Well damn it they've managed to pull me back in. This year's lineup is much better. I'll probably regret this later but Saturday is a given. It's now just a question of whether its worth going all weekend. Ugh.

Sunday is the day for me Buds: Elbow, Silversun, Coldplay, and of course, Janeane Garofalo. Why?
Yo, it's JQ. They do a great job of attracting acts. They said they are going to expand the beer gardens in order to see the stages, but I think that means there will still be a 5 beer maximum.
Friday looks insane to me. YYYs, National, Fleet Foxes, Q-Tip, Shearwater and I would like to catch Beastie Boys in NYC before they die. APW might suck me back in as well.
14. Will there be alcohol sold at the festival?
Beer will be available to all patrons of legal age for purchase at the festival. Please bring one or two government ID's showing proof of age over 21 if you plan to purchase beer. There will be a SEVEN drink per person per day limit. Alcohol will be served in larger beer gardens with shorter lines, and will feature stage views, shade tents, and food sales.
All I need is to find someone that is over 21 and on the wagon, therefore totaling my drink allowance to 14!!
well, i got some unfortunate news that I'm attending a wedding on saturday so I'm out for Tool. Friday is a done deal. That's a great line up. I may try to go Sunday if a) my Friday experience isn't miserable and b) if i can find a cheap ticket.
this isn't the schdule, it's the line-up. anyone seen the schedule posted anywhere yet? this thing is less than a month away!
We're giving away two 3-day passes!
