Langerado Schedule Released
Langerado Schedule Released - Many Personal Conflicts AriseLast night I received the long-awaited e-mail announcing the schedule for the Langerado Music Festival, held in (pretty much) my hometown. I've been talking this festival up since before it existed, as it is has been promoted by my good buddy Ethan (a.k.a. South Florida Jams), the man (almost) single-handedly responsible for the explosion of national touring acts visiting us here in South Florida.
Seeing as how we're pretty good friends, I knew for a few weeks that there would be at least one major conflict for me at the festival. Sets from the Disco Biscuits and the Flaming Lips were going to overlap, and there was nothing I, or anyone else, could do about it. I had resigned myself to acceptance. I was going to see the Biscuits twice in two days before the festival, so if I missed part of their set, I wouldn't cry about it. I've never seen the Lips, and have heard nothing but praise for their live show, so I made the decision to spend the early evening on Saturday, March 11 with Wayne and the furry-freaky stage show that accompanies the Oklahoma-based group.
And then I see the lineup. And the freakin' Meters are playing at the same exact time as the Flaming Lips. Complete and total overlap!
Grrrrrrrrrrrr...
Two bands that I've never seen before playing at the same time...what is a music loving freak to do? Needless to say, I'm completely undecided, and will probably make a last-minute, game time decision.
And that is only the conflict with major acts...I have a ton more with the smaller groups:
Wilco vs. Keller Williams
It looks like the entire day Sunday is gonna be full of tough decisions for me. I guess I'm gonna make those decisions based upon which bands I've never seen before, as I tend to find hidden gems at festivals.
Not since the first Bonnaroo have I had this problem. I guess it is a testament to the strength of the lineup to have such overlap between good acts. If most of the bands at the festival sucked, I wouldn't have this problem.
So I guess it isn't really much of a problem at all.
