MLB stuff (everyone but like 6 people ignore) - David Aug 2, 14:00
That list was crap, how do they leave Rudy off and have a bunch that are far from tear jerkers like The Italian Job and Nightmare Before Christmas. - Krusty Aug 2, 13:53 3
- Again, to call it a list is just silly since it really was just random submissions by people that the "author" chose to list numerically. - pmb Aug 2, 13:55 1
  - Fair enough. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 13:57
- con_carne I was wrong...I was thinking of Nights in Rodanthe instead of Bridge to Terabithia - amoxy Aug 2, 13:55

        you should be concerned that his numbers are what they are..... - groiny Aug 2, 14:07 3
        
        I'm counting on him pushing West instead of East. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 2, 14:10 2
        
        Stalin? -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 15:00

        It would take something unbelieveable to get me to that place again. I hate that venue. -- nm - pmb Aug 2, 14:02 1
        
        I would go see Zombie in a ratinfested garage. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 14:04
        
        ah...it was here on Saturday -- nm - Remlik Aug 2, 13:53 4
        
        did you go? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 13:54 3
        
        no I had to work. And frankly I think Korn sucks lately. So to go only to see Rob put on half a set was not interesting to me. -- nm - Remlik Aug 2, 13:54 2
        
        I think they put on a pretty good live show.... - groiny Aug 2, 13:55
        
        Especially in this weather. -- nm - Black Rabbit Aug 2, 13:55

      - free beer and air condtioning! -- nm - Remlik Aug 2, 13:53

      - the bitch was that all artist sets were an hour each - groiny Aug 2, 13:51 6
        
        Yeah, I really don't like festivals. The biggest of those rip-offs (to me) was WOMAD. Peter Gabriel was why I was there, and he played only... - Black Rabbit Aug 2, 13:53 5
        
        Womad here in Indy was great. Him, Midnight Oil and Lenny Kravitz. That show was hot. -- nm - Remlik Aug 2, 13:55 3
        
        Tha was it. Was it Midnight Oil or someone like Crowded House? - Black Rabbit Aug 2, 13:56 2
        
        maybe Crowded House. Maybe both of them to be honest. -- nm - Remlik Aug 2, 13:57 1
        
        Ah, I bet Midnight Oil was first. We were late because we were - Black Rabbit Aug 2, 14:00
        
        I went to a Christmas show a few years back, the lineup was stacked - groiny Aug 2, 13:54

  - I will say this isn't like some woodstock thing. You're not out in the middle of nowhere. It's right downtown (I can see it from my office), so you - pmb Aug 2, 13:48 1
    - that's different. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 2, 13:49
- festivals are a young man's game -- nm - chuckles Aug 2, 13:41 2
  - depends on how much trudging around you have to do - Reagen Aug 2, 13:43 1
    - I'd really like to do a day. I think 3 would wear on me. But it's not a huge amount of trudging around, and as I note above, you're not really stuck - pmb Aug 2, 13:49
I wonder if I should have to seven and a halves on the shoes instead of eights. (the like I know how big my feet really are nt.) -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 13:40 2
- keep binding your feet, I'm sure you can get it down to a 7... -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 13:42 1
  - I'm not *that* into Asian culture! -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 13:43
