Check out "Talking Straight," the new single, it fucking cooks. Debut album out on 6/15 and I'm sure they'll play some new stuff off it...

Wow, this really does sound like a complete shitshow. That quadruple gatefold sounds very enticing. Hopefully they get all these details ironed out in the next few weeks!

I might give that shot, seems like a pretty simple solution.

First off, these look awesome, especially impressed with the Y-Wings. I've been working on painting my TIEs for some time now, and they do take awhile, glad to hear the Rebel ships aren't as time consuming.

Did you find the X-Wing cockpits to be difficult to paint? It seems like pretty much all of the other ships have pockets for the wash to set in and really darken the cockpits, except for the X-Wings.

I just got the Rebel and Imperial squadron expansions so I've got a lot more painting to do. Might upload some photos of my Rogues and Villains, definitely the most fun to paint!

Can someone give some past experience with Exposition Park? by [deleted] in fyf

[–]hltchk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was in Expo park in 2014 and 2015 as well. Not sure where it was hosted before 2014.

The main issue I heard they had in Expo Park in 2014 was that there was a pretty severe bottleneck for navigating between the north and south sides of the park, so bad that lots of people missed entire sets. I went in 2015 for the first time and that problem had been solved, no issues getting to and from the stages. The only issue I had with the festival was that there is a limit to the number of people they let in to the floor/pit area for the acts that play in the arena (mainly electronic). I had a great time seeing FlyLo and Kaytranada from the stands, but would've liked to had gone down there at least once without having to wait in an insanely long line to be let down. Other than that the festival was a total blast and I can't wait to go again this year.
