    DJ Set?  $22 to listen to what's on LCD Soundsystem guy's ipod?

  • unretrofiedforu

    Don't be mad cuz you're still listening to Faith Hill and Creed on yours. 

  • ganghiscon

    I have so much Dillinger Escape Plan on my ipod.

    But seriously, $22 to listen to someone fucking DJ?  People pay to listen to someone play someone else's music?

    This will be a crowded disaster. The recent and simialr Brooklyn Based event drew thousands more than it could handle and stagnant lines wrapped around the block. Don't believe the hype.

    NIMBYs defeated, then.

  • ummm, it's actually not in my backyard any more, so I'd actually say I won.
