Yo!

Man, I hope this shit doesn't fill up by tomorrow morning by some freakish act of a spiteful god...a god that lets Warped Tour continue to prosper.

Is this place notoriously strict?

I had no problems with anything there last year and i partied pretty hardy

It's unpleasantly strict I thought. Being told it's too late to have a cigarette and it's time to go to your room by a man with a gun is not how I would expect any paying customer to be spoken to!

One of the many reasons I would never pay that kind or any kind of money to stay there.

Having said that Fest 6 weekend there was fucking awesome fun! I understand why they now bring in security but I think it should be a case of anything goes if you have a wristband, assuming you're not breaking shit of course. In reality however it feels more like a school trip with the teachers watching and waiting for an excuse to send you home!

Where are you staying Josh?

I always stay with Spanish Gamble.

hi guys. are u talking about the holiday inn? im a first timer from uk and just booked a room for the Fest weekend but sounds a little strict. is there somewhere better/cheaper in town thats not to far from stuff that u guys know of?

cheers guys.

Rush Lake Motel is the jam if you need to stay in a hotel of some kind.

I wouls also like to know some places to look around town besides the Holiday Inn. It seems rather pricey and I am not adverse to driving an extra10,15,or 20 miles if I have to to save some money.

Also, I like my hotel room to be somewhere I can relax from the craziness. what other places should I be looking at to stay at?

You could do the Paramount, Howard Johnson's, Days Inn, and The Rush Lake if distance isn't an issue.

cheers gully. is that pretty central still then?

Paramount is nice and not far at all if you have a car. I stayed there for a couple of night pre-Fest 6 and it was just about walkable but we moved to the HI for the actual weekend. Nice hotel though and much cheaper!
