V-fest was fun... but not fun enough that I didn't dump my 2nd day pass on a scalper when I left after the first night. There was good entertainment. MIA was fun, and Kid Koala cut his set short when his records started to melt on stage. Bjork played a very good set, but it certainly didn't have the buzz and the crowd appreciation that I experienced when I saw her a couple years ago in Montreal. The RoterTable was really cool to watch, and try to guess what sounds it was making/manipulating. Great to see the SoulJazz there, but it was sureal to be in a bar that you couldn't get drinks at... both at 2:30, when the ticket line for refreshments was already about 500m long, and moving SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW... and at 10:00 for their final set of the day, when the bar had been closed for over an hour and a half. The organization was Gestapo like... needing to check your bag all over the place, and having no real official place to do it didn't make me feel too comfortable... And the place stank of one giant commercial. The staff was about as slutty as your ever going to find at a music Festival... Bacardi Girls, Bud Girls, and not one but two Naked news outlets reporting from the site. Considering the festival had a 4 star line up... the overall experience makes me have to down grade that to 3 or 2 and 1/2 stars. Toronto crowds suck... they seem to be sleeping.
