I've only ever seen them used for short people so they can be even with the height of the crowd.

I think that would probably have pissed me off enough to point it out to security. For a kid or someone really height impaired, fine, but if using it impedes someone's "normal" view, that's just a dick move.

rain tho (not as bad as in april apparently) i debated getting one of those hotels in one of the suburbs between the city and the fest so i could go back and forth but that requires driving -- and if im sober enough to drive while in austin, i think im doing austin wrong. Yeah, I think that's the right idea (the not driving). There are also cheap fest-sponsored shuttles to and from Houston and Austin to the fest. But with it ending after midnight, I'm not sure that helps a ton. Although you could probably hang out in Austin and get lunch before hopping on the shuttle each day.

i'm going to Hinterland next saturday and was browsing their food vendors. of 14 vendors, 8 have vegan options but only 3 have corn-free options. this is truly an iowa festival.

I think if they saw the stool being used like that or it was pointed out, they'd ask the person to stop doing that.

Last week's news, but I wanted to share a few thoughts on FYF:
-Staff, crowds, sound and weather were all great.
-Even though there was lots of walking there were plenty of places to relax as well. In general I felt way less rushed than I have at other festivals.
-VIP was helpful in getting decent spots for the headliners without sacrificing much time, which is about all I wanted out of it. I would be interested to hear if anyone in GA felt like they had a tough time getting spots for headliners, and\or how long they waited.
-Saw 22 acts with only 5 repeats. Top three would be Frank, NIN & Bjork. Perfume Genius, TR\ST, Joey Purp and Noname were all terrific as well.
-The Trees stage was probably my favorite. Nice atmosphere and it never felt crowded.
-As others have noted, there were definitely traffic flow issues at times and missing the Blonded merch was disappointing, but other than that I have no complaints. I do hope they invest in the scanners Coachella uses for their wristbands as those seem much more efficient.
Overall it was the best time I’ve had at a festival in several years. I’d highly recommended it. Don’t know if it will completely replace Coachella for me, but I could certainly see myself alternating years.

idk - p4k allows chairs, so.... Ugh. Reminds me of the time people set up their chairs right in front of the stage where Bjork was playing and sat there all day expecting that no one was going to have a problem with it and would just give them room to sit and relax during Bjork's set. They learned.
