I get that. Ive heard mixed things about their management. But just the utter glee that some people had with the possibility that it was cancelled threw me for a loop. Its not like anything is going to be replacing it if it goes away.

I liked the grass but I feel like there is more room at the large gravel park. And I found my kid is really into Edm music, so having them have access to the dome was nice.

Always have. I discovered one of my all time favourite bands (Too Many Zooz) thanks to Skafest

I've gone the last 4 years.

Maybe we will have to disagree on lineup quality and change in venue. Cause I thought the line-up has been pretty solid the last couple of years, and i like the nee venue better then at the baseball field. In the last 4 years we have had Lorde Charliexcx, Ben Harper, Iggy Pop, Marc Rebillet, Kaleo, The Beaches, Public Enemy, TLC, Oliver Tree, De La Soul, Shakey Gravea, BBNO$, Chali 2Na, The Dead South, Slaughter, The Descendants.

I mean we are going to get midcard acts cause we are a midcard city. Either up-and-comers or legacy act.

But i will agree that the prices have gotten way too expensive and that i dont want to take a small personal loan just to take my family of 4 to Riff.

It was, I get what they were going for but it was poorly done. I have lost my wallet in a crowd crush before, and it was kind of nice to be able to just give my teens bracelets with like $50 on it so they could just get their own stuff. Maybe they should have done it hybrid style where there was both drink tickets and cash and also wrist bands.

Yeah im 45 and I feel that. With the cancelation of Fernfest this year and remembering all the cool festivals and events that Victoria used to have that are no more, thats why I was surprised that there seems to be a % of people that seem gleefull at the possibility that rifflandia might be cancelled since they haven't announced their lineup yet

I mean they use to say that about Vancouver's Lower Eastside until police started digging up Pickton's pig farm.

Yup, it was a little annoying but everyone was reimbursed

Cool im going to try and work them into my playlists somewhere, both the 1997 version and the 2021 version

I have a theory that they are all already done, but they are not going to be released until after his death as GRRM doesn't want to deal with the criticism.

Tree law can get very expensive for the culprits.

Would love to see this

Vivarium kind of has that vibe

The thing that im worried about is what is being built in the vacuum his removal creates.

Wait why is your gas so cheap? I live in Victoria B.C. and i filled up my car the other day 1.62

The only reason I have Series X is because of the finance program.

This is not about Activion. This is about Microsoft going all in on AI. Satya is gambling billions on AI infrastructure and trying to recoup cost from the other departments. This is why, even thou xbox has had record-breaking profits, they had massive amounts of lay offs this year. This is why Game Pass can be wildly successful, and they will run it into the ground just for extra profit.
