damn. you'll be on the move. i'm more into watching the entire set list.

not sure what i'm doing early each of the days, but i have:

alabama shakes
arctic monkeys
passion pit (1/2)
iggy pop
calvin harris


dawes
of monsters and men
tv on the radio
bassnectar

I just saw bassnectar at hangout and it was electric, so i plan on hitting of monsters and men, moving up a little after for tv on the radio, then moving all the way up when they finish for bassnectar. pumped

I move a lot depending on if I'm not real interested in seeing an act but am just going because they're there (a la Paul Wall, 2 Chainz) and also if I've seen the band before (Passion Pit, TV on the Radio).

I've seen TVOTR 2 times before, but not since their bass player died. i think they'll bring the heat.

I think Passion Pit -> Calvin Harris is what I will be doing...same stage and if they have the stages set up anything similar to what they had last year getting from one main stage to the other is a complete clusterfrick.

I had to sell my tickets the week before last year's Free Press due to unforeseen circumstances; was the stage setup different than past years?

Plan on parking at my uncle's condo on West Gray.

Maybe it wasn't the stage setup as much as them having more big names so going back in forth between stages was a lot more common versus 2011 where the majority of the bigger acts were at one stage (ween, cut copy, yeasayer, chromeo, beirut were all on the same stage I think). The only route between stages is pretty much the 4 lanes of Allen Parkway so it can get a little crammed at times.
