The bands were incredible, weather was great, only complaint i have on the weekend was the parking guys. went in Thursday, paid the early admittance fee and then was directed to my camp site. they had the cars packed in so tight i ended up with a 10 foot long and 3 foot wide camping spot and i have a 10x13 tent. told the parking guy and he just id have to just deal with it. i ended up hopping back in my car and found my own space. next time they need to give every camper a space the same size.

While the venue staff certainly had it's shit together, it was almost overkill in some aspects...
For one, I really got tired of dodging golf carts constantly everywhere I went. I was like I was trapped in the country club from HELL.
Otherwise, great show, great times, great music and great new friends.
Disappointed that only two board members showed up at my camp.
Also, Primus blew the roof off the dump.

I chose, 4, but it was really 4.5.
Great music, great, kind crowd, minimal wookery, almost no nitrous, and beautiful weather. Asian Sensation Lemonade kicks ass!
Thursday entry delays and not finding the boardie potluck so I could meet some of youse kept it from being Epcot, but it rooled.

Def best Vibes ever, had an absolute blast! Only issue I had was the lack of camping space as well, four grown men in one vehicle with only enough space for one tent did not work at all. Luckily we had great camping neighbors and we were able to fit everyone with a little coordination. But definitly need to give a little more space for people with full cars. Other then that the weather was perfect, the music was great, and the people were wonderful... We will be back next year for sure!!!

we started talking about that sometime on Saturday. so far so good though
definitely my favorite Vibes to date!

I had a great time, and thought everything was run as good as I could hope for.
My sole complaint is the box office.
For the second year in a row, the locals ticket window would shut down while they, "changed out the box". This takes twenty minutes or so. They then sell tickets a set amount of tickets, and then again stall. The sales times are shorter then the changing times.
During this time the line grows exponentially, and they cannot catch up.
This is a terrible system, and whoever designed it is a moron.
I've gone to festivals all over the country and never seen such a thing, where there is a regular complete shutdown of the ticket window over and over.
I cannot comment as to the day ticket and weekend camping lines, but while I was in line they did not appear to be moving any faster than the locals line.

We had a real good time from the start straight through to the end. It was an amazing Vibes and basically blows the last 3 out of the water. I was a bit sad that the Vibes Merch tent didn't carry all of the artists' cd's that performed at Vibes. Still gotta get me some Umphrey's McGee!!

My amp goes to 6. But that wasn't an option, so I chose 5 on the vote.
Every year gets better. And no wet hay!
Wish I met more boardies!
There was a flash of some purple superhero who called himself Captian Good Times and I swore that Hunter S Thompson was following him.
"Are you guys serious?"
I could go on and on...
6 for sure.

Hmmmm.... I wonder if someone was able to catch that legendary sight in a photo? Or it could be like the Loch Ness Monster??

My only complaint was the vuvuzela players...
Awesome vibes. The sun, the music, the food, the booze, the people... Simply fantastic..
Hey, wait a minute! In the family forum you said you didn't have a problem with us.
Which one is it now?

Just a playful jab. I saw you guys on the ballfield between Home plate and pitchers mound on sat? Told you then to keep blowing them. (had no idea it was you until I put 2 and 2 together).
Only problem I had was not taking the extra 5 seconds to walk over and introduce myself...

great weekend, best of the six vibes I've been to...hell, best of any festival I've been to thus far...I'll echo the campsite complaints, when we got to our parking area there was a near riot because there were about five cars with absolutely no space for camping because the row ahead of us already had set up, then a second parking person came along and said we could use the area "over there," pointing to a group of trees, so we booked it up there and had awesome camping...every band brought their A+ game...even with a more visible police presence I felt a vibe as chill as any festi-vibe I've encountered...met cool new people as I always do, though I was in no condition to make the picnic Saturday and I was truly looking forward to meeting some of you on here who seem like my kind of weirdos...already making plans to blow up my camp for next year, improving on the light displays, maybe even picking a theme this time...big thanks to all involved, I really needed this to be great this year and it was

Certainly one of the best Vibes I've attended. It is really hard to find a complaint. Great music, great weather, great people, no hissing nitrous, no problems. I'd argue a better lineup in '05, but I had an incredible time (especially with Primus, have only seen Les in various other incarnations)
It was my girlfriend's first time and despite being nervous initially, she had a great time. My recommendation to everyone is to bust out a bike next year, only way to get around.
Props to the security and police for keeping us safe, but not being crazy. The horse cops might have had more fun than i did, couldn't believe how many high fives i saw!
Thanks for another great year

Everything was perfect weather tunes and scene. I do wish i had gotten up 2 hours later because after waiting in line for hours i got pushed back all the way to the fence like 5153152 million miles from the stage for camping. But i had alot of room despite the blisters. Overall best fest ever:wook:

Bust out the bikes... but remember to lock. Mine got stolen from inside the VIP tent. If anyone has seen it...Giant brand Mt bike, lavender and grey
That SUCKS! I was the one with the flashlight helping you look for it. I was really hoping you'd found it afterward.
