Does this FYF layout look as bad as it looks?

I can't tell.
Are the Main and Lawn really a 15 minute walk?
Pretty stoked about the VIP area on the Main though.

Did you get VIP? Boo.
Google Maps approximates a four minute walk from Main to Lawn... Fingers crossed

Does this FYF layout look as bad as it looks? yeah, it sucks that you always have to walk around the colloseum. looks like outer space is where the woods was last year, and the woods is further over toward the lawn. but yeah, main to lawn is easy. it's the other stuff that's a pain. going from the colosseum area to the main area isn't as easy as the map makes it look. that whole bill robertson ln. wasn't just open to cross last year. there were...idk, stands and buildings and stuff i guess that only allowed a couple holes of space in which created some annoying bottlenecks.

Saturday is going to be the day where I'm doing a ton of walking from stage to stage Sunday shouldn't be too bad since from Ty on I will be at the main, lawn and club stages.

getting to the club from anywhere but the trees was a pain tho.
however, the club is an awesome stage that's worth walking to.

The map makes it seem like it will be easier to go from main to club this year.

That stage rules. Really excited for Perfume Genius, the end of Arca, Tr\St and Talobman there.

looks the same as last year, but who knows.
on the plus side, the sound will be great at every stage.

So I bought an Outside Lands ticket on a whim back when they first went onsale because I figured it'd be easy to work out the travel with my job, but then got deeper into the job and realized it rarely ever works like that. So I planned to sell it but I've been lazy and have not yet
aaaaaaaaaaaand somehow my job ended up perfectly working out, I'm in Oakland for an install on the Monday after Outside Lands, meaning I can just tell them fly me out 2-3 days early and basically I have a free flight.
I'm still a bit split. Like just the day before this I decided to make a commitment to actually saving money over the next year, and I was including selling that ticket in my immediate budget plan. And I still have to pay for lodging/food/transport for the weekend (the lodging is what really scares me, that'll be expensive). And also I had tentative plans for that weekend that I'd have to cancel. But at the same time it feels really hard to pass up this opportunity

How many desirable acts are at OSL that you didn't see at Pitchfork, and won't see at ACL, SoS or this fall?

Metallica, The Who, and QotSA is a pretty compelling list tbh

I would imagine securing lodging in San Francisco this close to the fest would be very expensive.

Metallica, The Who, and QotSA is a pretty compelling list tbh Not for like $500-750 extra costs. Even if you add in Fleet Foxes and Lorde. Are you able to get work to pay for a hotel Sunday night? Also, I'm guessing SF has like hostels that are pretty cheap? If you really wanted to make it happen without dropping $500 on hotel for 2-3 nights.

HA. I've been getting ads for that all over the place. I was going to ask if anyone was going a couple of days ago but forgot, like most people probably forgot about that festival when they saw the price.

I was trying to win some tickets to check out a couple things but there was a contest that UIC ran that literally not a single person entered (i had just missed the deadline) and I figured it was probably in trouble.
