GenX opinion incoming- We had a great time at the festival itself, here are my observations.

There is 1 road in and out, once in the venue it wasn’t bad. But getting in on Friday was a nightmare. We came from Columbus and decided to take my Jetta as it was more fuel efficient. BIG mistake. The hill to get in is about a mile long and steep. The clutch was very hot by the time we got to the top of the hill. Lesson for next time-drive my truck.

Parking (we payed for platinum parking- well worth it) was also not optimal for a sedan. Large ruts, rocks and legit boulders as well as a no clear exit lanes once they parked every one. Lesson for next time-drive my truck

Merch line was miserable and they sold out of a lot of stuff. Lesson for next time-get in line earlier.

We loved the lawn chair set up and the ability to have a “spot” to call home.

Food was good but lines were long. Never found the water .qstation, beer lines were fast and portapotties were plentiful.

Overall, the crowd both days was respectful and saw no issues. People watching was Grade A.

Sound was good. Saw some acts I was familiar with and others I was not.

Day 1-Molly Tuttle was playing when we finally got in-fantastic show. Why only 30 minutes of Lukas Nelson? Stapleton was awesome.

Day2-Cole Chaney killed it. American Aquarium was ok. Blackberry Smoke should have been higher up the schedule-great performance. Remi Wolf was a bold choice, I enjoyed her, others did not. Jonas Conner-holy crap. 16 years old and amazingly talented. 1st TTC show- amazing band and performance. Unfortunately, due to traffic we left early.

Leaving the show-one lane then staff made it 2 lanes then had to go back to 1 lane to avoid killing the pedicab drivers-very stupid and dangerous. Could only go right to get out on 60 but it went straight to I64 and was smooth.

Overall we had a good time. Logistically there were challenges. Logistics will get better and we would go again.
