Be The Riottt

So yesterday was the Be The Riottt concert. ehh.... They had three stages with about 10 bands playing in each stage, a different one going on every hour. It cost us $35 and I really don't think it was worth it. First let me cover the good parts:
+ Explosions In The Sky played some of their new stuff
+ Sage Francis was amazing
+ The Presets were pretty good
+ Ran into some friends

Now let's take a good look at the bad parts:
- It was 'all ages,' hence the 11-teens EVERYWHERE. You could tell who was really young by their cups. If it was clear and filled with beer, it's all good. If it was a Pepsi cup with water, STAY AWAY!
- All drinks: AT LEAST $7... and that's just for one regular bottle of beer.
- All other shows, excluding the ones mentioned above, blew ass holes.
- All the shows were badly scheduled, so between the good ones you had to wait about 2 hours in the hallways drinking expensive MGD or Pale Ale.
- The entire show was a huge marketing scam. They had Scion signs EVERYWHERE. On the stage, in the hallways... They were even selling cell phones near the main stage.
- DJ's between the bands were really bad. Couldn't blend songs to save their lives.

Overall we had OK fun, cause we just kept drinking... but it was NOT worth the $35.

On another note.... I'm learning Hungarian:
Az útlevelét, legyen szíves! <----- Your passport, please!
