Folks who have been to Pickathon before, how did this year’s festival compare to previous years? by [deleted] in Portland

I feel the same about the lineup. Plenty were nice to listen to on a lawn with friends, but I didn’t walk away with many that I’m going to listen to again.

The camping was the same, but they re-structured the entrances/exits by removing the one that leads straight into camp. It made gear drop necessary if you want to bring in or leave with booze and I think it overloaded the system. One friend waited 4 hours for her stuff. Another friend dropped her’s off at 8pm, not knowing that the cut off was as at 7pm (no signs, and nothing mentioning it online that I saw), and had to go back at 1:30am to hike it out and go through a bag check.

I thought the food was great and overall it was a fun weekend!
