Well, well the Gov’s Ball –which rock nyc went to last year and includes every damn caveat you’ve ever heard about Festival, and a piece of free advise (buy the VIP tix or take a pass) is back again this year. The pre-sale tix, without a band being announced, sold out, and as for me? I promised to never set foot at damn Festival whatever the line up might be but…. Kanye West? He really killed at 12-12-12. It is awful tempting….

- Ok, sorry the fonts are all over the place but if you can get over it, what do you think? I saw Thievery Corporation open for Massive Attack a coupla years ago and was very impressed… what else?
I mean what makes it worth the hastle? From the hastle (and remain, these won't even be on the same day)
Kanye, KOL , Feist Kendrick Best Coast…. remember this is me and I am not so excited to be seeing XX again though you might be.
Tickets go on sale Friday January 25th, the three day fest is June 7th, 8th and 9th of June and give this is at Randall's Island they are asking for rain and plenty of it but I might go for the Kanye night… MAYBE… They won't say whether they will release one day passes, and the three day pass is a coupla hundred bucks but it requires a lot more stick to it than I have to get a good line of vision. The VIP is $500 and the super VIP tix is an eyecatching $1500. I might go $500 for a one day Super VIP… MIGHT…
