- drinks are usually a huge ripoff, but people still pay the full freight anyway. $3 for a bottle of diet coke or water. Say WHAT?!?
- Food is also a ripoff and not nearly as good as it might be if you were sitting comfortably at a table savoring the item instead of crouching on a curb trying to balance a small paper bowl on your lap.
- Port-a-potties? Ick; luckily last night, it was so hot that I think I sweated out all of the soda and champagne and I was drinking.
- Fashion victims abound - this year, likely the most offensive was the cheap maxi-dress that most users wore with flip flops but did not bother to hem the damn dress, thus stepping all over it as they walked with their overpriced plastic cups of beer and ethnic-kabob munchables in hand.
- Ladies: tube tops are ALWAYS a bad idea! This is an outdoor music and food fest, not the set of Three*s Company.
The bands we saw last night were, overall, quite good. I was disappointed that UO did a number of very dull, quasi-jam tunes that no one knew (they said it was new material) and that they only played 2 songs from Supersonic Storybook.
Other than that, we had great weather and it was an enjoyable - if not expensive - evening out in Chicago with my daughter.
