In years past how much have you spent on merchandise at The Fest? Was most of your merchandise money spent at the flea market or the actual shows?

the only merch i bought last year was the gatorface 10'' and the monikers/delay 'monikers suck!' split 7''. bought the gatorface 10'' before their set, the monikers/delay split at the flea market while i was tablesitting for KoD.


they had a truck to keep merch and stuff in for only like $5 for the whole day (pay it each day you think you'd need it) by common grounds.


i traded a lot of koozies for stuff though. i got a used kids shirt for 5 koozies. haha

In the two I've been to I haven't really bought anything at the flea market, just at the actual gigs. Oh and in Wayward, a lot. And I've tried and failed to spend money at the yard sale two years running. I guess maybe $100 over the whole weekend, like, a couple of tshirts and a dozen albums?

I actually am always too busy at the Fest to even look at merch. :(

I guess around 70-80$ ,bought 2-3 records at the fleamarket, the rest at the shows.. could have been even more if some bands where I planned to buy something would have had nicer designs - especially none more black

You could probably spend a nearly limitless amount just at the Flea Market on records, CD's, posters etc!!

Fest 6 I came back with about 15 t-shirts or hoodies, probably the same amount of CD's and a couple of vinyl. Fest 7 I came back with a similar amount but with a few more vinyl!

I spend as much as I take with me!!

I would say I spent close to $80. I can't remember all that I bought off hand, but at least a couple cds, a shirt, falcon hoodie and some 7"s.

I guess I'm bored but this is what I spent/got

ate out at least twice a day and drank lots of pbr.. probably at least 30 bucks a day...

and bought this...

holy mountain shirt

vinyl:
pygmy lush - mount hope
suicide note - empty rooms
forensics/ textbook traitors split
the holy mountain - entrails
pg. 99 - doc 8
small brown bike - dead reckoning
the khayembii communique/ the vidablue
who calls so loud - s/t
al stewart - time passages
worn in red/ benard
forensics/ kelly osborne
mehkago n.t./ religious as fuck
cloak dagger - kamikazies
brainworms/tubers split
Sotatila 7"
the swarm - old blue eyes is dead

and that was around 150-200 bucks
and what's really sad... I haven't listened to barely any of those...
life needs to slow down so I can rock out more...

so this year less shopping!

I spent between $200 and $250 last year. About $100 at Wayward Council on Thursday night. About $100 at the No Idea yard sale. Then another $50 or so from random bands.

I never meant to spend so much. It just turns out that all the records I had been meaning to buy where available there.

I bought almost no merch at Fest 6, and only a little at Fest 7.

Cheap Girls LP, couple Screaming Females CDs, a shirt from the guy at wayward. Maybe something else I am forgetting.
