I'm going to be flying down from Michigan the Thursday before The Fest and am looking for anybody willing to help me get to the shows and back and hang out for the weekend, whatever's good.

Just go to tampa for pre-fest and i'm sure one of us can help you out there!

My flight's supposed to be coming in at 8:45 at night though so I don't know if I would make anything of the pre-fest? Unless, I just haven't seen anything about it yet.

Pre-fest will probably be (if they did it like last year) normally wednesday and thursday before the Fest. It's always a good time, and a very drunken time.

Do you think I'd be able to catch anything after 8:45? I know a group of people from here coming down I'm just trying to figure out a way to get to Gainesville and back to the airport before the weekend is up and if that means hang out in Tampa I'd completely be down.

I just remember the pre-fest shows lasting really really really late last year. You'd probably be able to catch a lot because i believe the thursday show lasted till about 4am. So, i'm sure you'll still have way to many hours of fun. I mean it is awesometown after all.

Well, if I can find a ride from Orlando to Tampa for this after I land I would love to go to this.

haha last year the prefest show (thursday) lasted until 4 a.m.

i was passing out drunk on the couch while too many daves played by that time.

haha, too many daves at 4am was perfect!

How much am I going to miss if I head home at 9:30 pm on Sunday night? I'm new to the Fest

Not too much. All official shows must be over by 11pm on Sunday. It's just the law in Gainesville.

last year you would have missed Seaweed
just saying

i'm coming into orlando around 7:30 AM on friday! anyone wanna give me a ride up?

What are you flying that gets you there that early? I'd love to have an early flight home on Monday but nothings coming up for me.

Go to Tampa, it may kill you but you'll die smiling.
