ditch the greed, it's not the same anymore. I went to 06 and last year... 06 in watts was dope. peaceful gathering of music lovers.

Last year a guy was clocked for saying obama sucks, another guy was dragged off by the pigs after the crowd turned on him for heckling z-trips obama shit. you guys need to get control of your show back. the sense of unity and community was gone last year.

there was too much time inbetween sets filled by a asshole talking about the new world order. 06 had idigenous culture last year had a corporate feel.

Get out to all southern California radio stations and advertise the event. Have them give away some tickets. Create a profile on popular social networking sites (myspace, facebook, twitter, etc.) and request people with similar interests in the socal area, then post bulletins about the event like CRAZY.

The holidays are around the corner, so people are getting a lil' stingy with their cash. It's also getting a little chilly, which (personally) would keep me from going to an outdoors festival. Moving it to an earlier time in the year (spring-fall) would be better. I would avoid mid May thru the middle of June, though, since those are finals weeks for many students.

And lastly, the line-up this year was a little out of whack. Two HUGE punk bands... and pretty much everything else was hip-hop (with a few exceptions.) Work on getting bands from all genres- that will attract more people. More reggae, more punk, some indie, hip-hop, even acoustic and spoken-word artists (Jello Biafra!)

whether it be the line-up, because its "outside", because the promoters "dont work hard enough",because it's "too expensive" and so on and so on. Yet many of you don't know all the hard work and trouble it takes to book bands and acts for an event such as this. All of you are greedy for wanting better acts but i'm sure if prices were 60+ even with "more __ acts" you'd still be complaining !!!! Keep in mind all the effort that goes into booking a certain act and all you guys can do is complain. This isnt just about a certain band being there but its about MUSIC, ARTS and CULTURAL so it probably didnt do as well because of crybabies like all of you!!!
