The one and only thing I have to snark about is repeats on the same stages. I think it's unfair to other local bands. 2 years in a row for some bands on the same stage isn't cool at all and it should be faux pas and not allowed. C'mon guys WTF?

Other than that Comfest rulz. See u all there yay! Only a few days! WOOOOOOHOOOOO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!1!!!1!!!

HONEST QUESTION FOR THOSE IN THE KNOW

2 cents worth: I wouldn't worry that much about it. With over 50,000 people in the park, unless you're naked, painted purple, and waving a kilo of pot around while standing on the Bozo Stage, I think your odds of getting busted are still pretty slim....?

I'll be wearing a M&M halloween costume with no bottoms and carrying a super soaker full of morphine. Holler. If you post here and want to know where "The Macgruber of Drugs" is hanging come see me. You will have to be able to finish the phrase "Only Neo is me, no Cleo can see my future..."

I will also need a reliable person to bail me out of jail so I can go to work on Monday. I'm partying responsibly this year.

The biggest thing I have heard about ComFest since becoming a local musicicalicialician is "it's cliquey". Then I hear "but it's not, really, it's open to everyone to try out" and "they'll come hear and see bands who try out". Then I hear "this year there will be more new bands they promise'.

What confuses me is that all of these statements are often true and false simultaneously. ComFest changes reality like that. So does rumor mill telephone gaming and a lack of transparency wrapped in a layer of community openness.

I wonder what changes the next few years will bring as the Lumpy Wavy Gravy crowd like Mark F lose influence over the Committee folks.

Also, "new bands" often means "same guys from The Magic Fucknostrils except with a new drummer so they're called Beans A Neck Pillow now". This is partly insularity and cliquishness, partly the fact that the social circles in columbus are terribly overlapping.

On with the show, this is it!

Looks like a regular Comfest schedule.

Tolford closing out Bozo stage on Saturday is a very nice move.

I like the fact that most of the bands that are playing primetime hours at Offramp are bands that actually play out. I like the stretch that starts with Flu Faker on Saturday.

Bozo lineup is always strange but it doesn't matter. Bozo stage is a tourist trap/cooler town/redneck riviera so I usually stay away.

Sunday is the day to take kids. Good spots in the shade by the playground and can still hear offramp.

Bring a poncho if ya got one.

Practice saying the alphabet backwards before you go.

Should be some fun stuff to tape. I will post some shows next week.
