Bring your earplugs for Jay Farrar if he's playing an electric set - super loud (in my experience)

They've made changes to the site layout which will definitely be for the better (in theory, hopefully in practice).

Early bird tickets on sale now - $40 gets you access to every event.

http://www.arboretumfestival.com/

And the fees don't make up any part of the ticket price - they're in addition to that.

But anyways.

FolkFest just said they'll credit people who got dinged multiple times on the same order so that's good to see.

23% but the point is the same. (22.50/96.50)*100 QED

I said 30.4% of the ticket price (22.50/74)*100. Your math was 23% of the total purchase price.

:whistle:

This is where I ask if we can both be right.

23% but the point is the same. (22.50/96.50)*100 QED

They always manage to f something up with online orders. Would love to know where all those fees go. Like, actually audit service charges across the industry.

A savings of $25!

$14 fee

$3.50 order charge

$5 mailing fee

Note that if you apply the $25 credit from last year to the early bird $99 tickets tomorrow morning you can attend this festival for $74 + fees.

Gaslight Anthem confirmed

Seems like Gaslight Anthem is a safer bet than The National given the clue.

Sept 10-14

They're releasing teasers like they did for Bluesfest.

So far they've "announced:"

Lorde

Neutral Milk Hotel

Sgt Pidcock wrote the press release.

RSD was a mild success for me.

Do anything else fun? Any major life milestones?

I totally understand and respect record collecting but please, it's not "a vinyl."

Wonder if Colbert will continue in character or be himself ... (Spoiler alert)

You mean Phoorbsie

It's a good venue in town, people who saw that Zappa thing a few months ago will likely agree. Show's presented by Spectrasonic, I doubt Algonquin's student council has anything to do with it.

Article says Molson is a big corporate sponsor. Is this new? If so, does this mean no more Mill St? Anyone know?

I asked Mill St and they confirmed they will not be at Bluesfest.
