You thought the RHCP show was dead? I was on the front row of the railing right behind the pit. I don't know what show you saw or if I was really fricked up, but I say you're crazy if you think that show was dead. Yeah I thought Anthony could have definitely been more into it, but overall it was a damn good show with great energy

it's too "mainstream"
I noticed the crowd had a frat feel, but I really think that's because they sold 80K tickets. This is sorta a 'shite in one hand and wish in the other' situation, because at $280 a ticket, they're gonna sell as many as they can.
The line-up to me, was a homerun. I didn't have the time or energy to see everyone I wanted to.

another issue I had was with how they set up camping
Camping was crowded, but again that goes back to ticket sales, and it helped with the walk to centeroo.

FOOD situation must be fixed
Treat centeroo food like a luxury, not a need. I ate two meals a day outside, and just paid for something that looked good inside.

I think they need to take down how many tickets are sold and book better bands.
I think this is the cause of every one of your complaints. Not so much the book better bands part, but just the fact that thousands of cheap tickets were sitting around in the last month, to where everybody's bros and their frick buddy could hop on board at the last minute. If it went back to selling out months in advance, the experience would be better for the people who really want to be there, but given the money at stake, it just ain't gonna happen.
I brought my own food, had no trouble finding drugs, camped light, made sure I was really early for every show I really wanted to be close for, and as a result I will definitely be going back.

Yet another issue I had was with how they set up camping. This is the second year in a row I get there within hours of opening, and they stick me in Jaws or Wooderson with huge fields super close to Centeroo wide open.
yeah this was total bs. Got in Wednesday evening and they sent us way out to that secluded lot... don't remember the name... and they weren't letting people leave the area until sunrise. We had to walk to the RV we were sleeping at and only after 15 minutes of convincing were we allowed to leave the lot. Pretty messed up that they decide where to put you, park you as far from Centeroo as possible, and then say you can't leave to go sleep in the RV you paid for.

Were there not people selling French bread pizzas, garlic grilled cheese, or Jerry rolls?

That's how I felt at Hangout Fest.
He needs to start doing some uppers again

Once JF left it was a different band. I really didn't expect much out of them, therefore I wasn't disappointed. Radiohead killed that shite tho.

Also, Skrillex was a hell of a time, even if that makes me lame.
No it doesn't. I don't really listen to that genre and I had a blast watching him at Hangout Music Fest.

we all had fun.
