They hide behind the Punk Rock flag as an excuse for doing a lameass job, which is particularly hard to swallow considering they've been at the business of ripping off bands and fans for over seven years now. Volunteers?! Are you kidding me?! Charge me an extra $5 and get some employees with an ounce of accountability. Perhaps the fact that he wasn't able to get someone to supply an adequate amount of water to a crowd in Downtown LA willing to spend $4 each speaks to his lack of savvy. Send someone out to rent a Ryder truck, go to a warehouse club and fill the thing up! Stop on the way back and buy as much ice as you can find. F Yeah Fest? More like F You Fest!

VIP section - twice as expensice, only open for half the day, 2 food trucks and 4 portapotties for the entire section. Music wise - sequoia stage sucked (had no lights and no visuals), soundwise was not so good (or maybe it was just because no band that played there knows how to sing ie the chick in cold dave, frontman in dolorean). Local natives obviously were great, rapture shouldve been though that stage was so loud... is it that difficult to put on a good festival? have enough bathrooms? access to water? quality food? good bands? panda bear boring as fuck, poor man's jon brion. Not a mini-coachella.... i could put on a better festival in skid row w/ my dad touching himself as the headliner...
