FFFFest is so much....wait for it....FUN! I've been going since '08' I was living in Dallas at the time. Made the trip down and had a blast. Since then, I have resided in Austin, loving it and still attend the festival. I already have my ticket for this year, still not knowing who will perform. Judging from the last few years, I know I will not be disappointed. I do have mixed feelings about the new location for the festival. Don't get me wrong, Auditorium Shores is great, but there isn't that much tree coverage for shade. On the plus side, the grounds are flat, no more climbing up steep hills to use the port-a-john. What I did like about Waterloo, just a few blocks away were all the great venues on Red River that had all the great after parties/shows. But I am looking forward to this years fest and can't wait to have...wait for it....FUN!!!

    Another plus is that it will not be as hot as August Texas weather.

    @Bonnie I lived in Dallas for 2 years, I liked it for the most part. I kept coming down to Austin for shows and visiting family so I decided to move here. And I love it here! And you know when November comes, it won't be as sunny out, maybe bring a hat :)

    @inkboy, yea I don't really mind walking, but after 2 days of being on your feet, you need a little break. And yea the cabs aren't much at all, especially driving in town.

    How long did you live up here in the Big D? I'm still kicking myself for missing so many FFFFests. Last year was my cherry poppin' year and I plan to make it a tradition. Thanks for a heads up on the shade situation. My pale self doesn't do so well in the sun.

    sweet i have been going since '08 as well! I have no mixed feelings about the venue change (because i've never been to Ausitorium shores maybe?) so long as the music experience is equally awesome as previous years. but yea it does suck that the afterparty venues are so far away now! But i figure i'll just take a cab or something, they're pretty cheep
