let's make a pact
to never let weird, silly mainstream rave/club culture infiltrate our fest.
Skrillex at ACL? That shit is so weird to me. Although I guess they had DeadMau5, which was also ridic in my humble opinion.
Also, I don't dislike hula hooping in general, but shit girls, do that in your back yard or on a sunny afternoon in the park, not at a music festival which is inhabited by thousands of people. I hate trying to walk through an area and these chicks are fucking hula hooping and not paying attention to that huge ass hoop theyre swaying around. Its like dodging landmines, or at least I'd imagine so.
I sincerely hope hula hoops are not allowed at funfest. Doesn't really seem their aesthetic anyways, but you never know with some of the more electronic-based blue stage artists. I.e. was listening to some purity ring last night and suddenly had an awful vision of hybrid hippie ravers hula hooping to it. Can we please make a pact to collective snub these people? Okay, maybe that's a bit far, but geez louise I just really hope security points and laughs and bans anyone trying to bring a hoop in the shore.
Gawsh I'm such a bitch sometimes. But I really do love you all, well most of you. One of you I really just wish would go away, but not in a violent kind of way. I just really dislike having to be scared of where I am walking because I get zoned out on the music and my destination and it turns totally Donnie Darko where there is some crazy tube leading me where I am supposed to go. Hula hoops disrupt this tube. Its just science, ask Roberta Sparrow.
Back when I was a raver, well, more like junglist who just gave the "raver" kids weird looks, but those kids had glowsticks. Yeah if they put them on strings and swung them around, those bad boys could be lethal, but hula hoops are just not funfunfunfest friendly and that's that. I decided.
On a positive note. My hair is looking and feeling and smelling awesome today. Its also Thursday which is always followed by Friday and that gives me hope for the future.

So young, so angry....but I'm with you. Although I do like Burial and James Blake...they're dubstep, right? No hula hoops though. Hula Hoops, no. Hooligans, yes. I don't know.

I'd really prefer that FFF didn't grow much bigger as it is, we have enough fests bringing huge mainstream headliners year round, i always found this to be the better fest for obscure punk/metal/indie music. Hell even last year seemed more like warped tour than FFF. My biggest fear is the fest losing touch with its roots, and going the way of ACL.
But yeah, the day that techno garbage comes into FFF is the day I move on.

I've never done it myself, but I've heard that ecstasy + raving = a lot of fun, so I think the hula girls are probably just on a whole other level

Whenever you go through one of these tubes, do you hear "Under The Milky Way" by the Church?
As for this new rave/club culture, it's quite awful and I could live without it. I could also live without people wearing shirts or hats that say Dubstep. Oh dubsteppy....

I think you should make a hula hoop with some retractable blades and destroy all the other hula hoopers that may or may not show up at the fest. There can be only one.

In. I'm weirded out by how much kids love Skrillex, Bassnectar, and Pretty Lights.
However, I'm also all about Fun Fest selling tickets and becoming even bigger. As long as most of the roster is comprised of solid bands (Murder City Devils, Kid Dynamite, Neon Indian, etc), it's not a big deal if there are bands I don't like that are bringing shit loads of people.
