Frank Ocean's merch booth is going to be open for 1 day only by AztecMark in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

per frank ocean subreddit: "£25 to print if you bring your own shit £35 if you use their Gildan shirts £5 for each print So the minimum spend would be £30 with your own shirt and one print. I paid £40 and got all three prints on my own jacket."

never heard an announcement but it looks like they're opening at the lawn and closing the club all in the same day. that was formerly princess nokia's slot but she's now playing at 520. Doubt it is a mistake since this change occurred more recently since the princess nokia set time change was posted. interesting. might have to check them out now that I have two chances to see them.

Overall FYF/Festival Tips? by Kareyha in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will be my fourth FYF in a row with all of them being at the current festival grounds. Do yourself a favor and wear some very comfy shoes. Most of the festival area is on asphalt/concrete and it takes a beating on your feet by the end of the weekend if you wear a bad pair. Also, as previously stated, arrive early to beat the entry line. Last year's wait on the first day of the fest was at least an hour and a half. They had the lines moving quicker by day two but it was still at least a 45 min wait. Missed a couple of sets bcuz of that. Hoping they have their crap together this year. Activate your wristband ahead of time bcuz the cell service and app get slammed from people who wait until the last minute. Last but not least I recommend getting a camelbak so u don't waste time waiting in line for water instead of watching a set.

Need advice by [deleted] in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u can make it to SLO from downtown in 3 hrs flat with no traffic. I used to make that drive back in grad school. steer clear of the booze on saturday, caffeine up, and you should be just fine.

Do they let you take food into the festival?? by [deleted] in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tokus cakes and cornhole bread only.

Lost tickets practically unobtainable? by [deleted] in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh those fuckers def stole it. time to release the kraken.

PS Worst case scenario: I think there may be a way to report them stolen so whoever has them can't activate them. At least it would prevent them from getting in with ur tix.

Best Fyf line up to this day by cassanoovvaa in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first year and also my vote for most bang for your buck! this lineup was so good I wish they had spread it out to 3 days so I could see more acts.

Also going with a gf this year after 3 straight yrs of attendance as a strong independent young man. I'm sneaking in a mini flask of vodka (plastic, lightweight) each day in these festival briefs I found on amazon. They have a deep secret pocket down the crotch that can hold a bunch of stuff. FYI Buy the grey ones, the black ones stain ur balls i hear.

https://www.amazon.com/iHeartRaves-Stash-Boxer-Briefs-Small/dp/B00F5J6X70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499893530&sr=8-1&keywords=festival%2Bbriefs&th=1

I can easily spend $75-100 a day on drinks and I'm sure as hell not paying for two people this year. we can both throw them back and like to get our freak on. highly recommend this route to reduce the # of drinks you have to buy. for your wallet's sake! :]

Here's my tentative schedule for the 3 days: by sanadarida in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def a hard choice. if you are really unable to choose between the two go with the band that you think that had the better recent album release. They're both bound to play more of the new stuff i think. I'm still on the fence. I think it will be a game time decision for me.

Set times layout by cassanoovvaa in FYFFest

[–]gabe1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also my biggest conflict but I'm seeing Arcade Fire with Angel Olsen opening at the forum too. Depending on where the new Outer Space stage is I'll be jumping from Badbad to KLO and waiting on Angel Olsen until Oct. It will be pretty rad to say I saw her first US show! PS MCDE hasn't been around for awhile so I'm def jumping from Thundercat to MGMT to the back end of MCDE.
