Actually Dave there was one, wherever The Future Now played because my friend is a huge fan and he couldn't go to see them cause he was 20.

Also, I'm Nick. I'm from Miami,FL and this is gonna be my 3rd Fest. Fest 8 was awesome but last year was just incredible with all the amazing bands and the amazing people I got hang out with. I'll be driving up as usual but I don't think i'll be able to pick anyone up this year like I have the past 2 since I think I already have a full car. Also, I'm gonna need to find a hotel for the first time :( my sister is moving from Gainesville to Memphis in April so no more free lodging. Oh well more time to hang with new people!

P.s. Is it too early to start the social network thread like I did last year? Met a lot of awesome people because of it..


If Circle Takes The Square plays at that venue I'm going to be unbelievably upset.

I feel like I'm chatting to much on here.

I thought Durty Nelly's was the only 21 and up venue from Fest 8, but they were not used last year. I could be wrong! I don't think it is too early for the social networking thread! I'd start it now if posting from my phone wasn't a pain in the ass.

Hello! I'm Kevin, I'm 18 (19 when Fest happens) I'm from Calgary, which is far away from Gainesville. I'm thinking I'll spend the money and go. I'll be missing a few days of university though, that shouldn't be too hard to catch up, just labs and shit. Super stoked on the lineup, I'm still sad I didn't go last year. I've never been to Fest before.

I'm Jeremy, 27 years of age, and live in the Fest's hometown of Gainesville. I was at last year's Fest and it may've been the best yet. Getting to see guys like Strike Anywhere, Suicide Machines, Coffee Project, Mehkago NT, Municipal Waste, and so on as well as pleasant surprises such as Hard Skin and the No BS Brass Band...I mean, those were some good times. I definitely hope the Fest this year will be just as good.

Hi, I'm Corinne, currently living in Birmingham UK, but from Maidstone (not a Brummie!). This will be my second Fest. Last year I went not knowing anyone, had the most amazing weekend ever and met a load of awesome people. This year, I'm still travelling by myself (more than likely), but I look forward to hanging with friends and familiar faces once i'm there :D

My names Calder. I'm a first year college student studying Chemistry in PA. If I can figure out how to get out of classes, there will be nothing stopping me from coming. Feel free to follow me on twitter or stalk my Facebook page!

The only 21+ venue last year was The Top.
Not sure if we'll be doing shows there again this year yet. There were some noise complaints last year and the shows were shut down and moved.

I stayed at the Days Inn for Fest 8. I think it was about $240 for 4 nights. Staying on SW 13th is only good if you have a car(atleast if you're lazy like myself and dont enjoy 35+ minute walks in both directions).


Well I plan on cramming 5 people into one room for 3 nights and it turned out to be under $200 according to travelocity. My group will probably end up switching between walking and driving anyway.

This is probably to early to ask but based on past Fests, I know that there's all ages and 18+ venues but are there also any 21+ venues?

Ah, wondered why they ended up in Market St. Is Market St back in the game this year?

I hope so. Market Street is definitely my favourite venue.

You forgot to mention how much of a fan you are of Jason Segel's junk in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".
