LA Weekly Detour Festival
 

Is next Saturday and set times are available

Hehehe, i don't know any of these bands .... so my planned itinerary for the day is to accept the recommentations of the swankers we'll be in pleasant company with.

I don't know the whole day yet, but this will be part of it:

♪♪ City Hall - Stage A ♪♪
The Mae Shi 2:55 PM 3:40 PM

♫♫ Hall of Justice - Stage C ♫♫
Bitter:Sweet 4:55 PM 5:45 PM

♥♥Triforium - Stage B ♥♥
Gogol Bordello 6:30 PM 8:30 PM

Maybe I'll have some time this week to check out some of the other band's My Space pages

uh-oh, two bands besides Gogol posted, and already one's a conflict with the Gogol Bordello show (I can't imagine being able to catch Bitter:Sweet at quarter to six and have a remotely good place to see Gogol Bordello at six-thirty.)

Chris' itinerary is my cuppa tea. Those three are the reasons I purchased the tickets. May need to leave after Gogol to go to a cocktail and dessert party at my aunt's place, but I haven't committed to that, yet. May play it by ear depending on how E and I are feeling later in the evening.

I don't know Bitter:Sweet, but I'll take anyone's word for it they're a band to see (er, hear). But how can we see them at 5:45 and also see Gogol Bordello on a different stage at 6:30?


(I was also thinking of leaving after Gogol, because I want to take public transportation into Downtown ... but then I'd miss the other headliner, Mars Volta ... though I don't know squat about them. A heard a song by them a week or so ago. Neither floored nor disgusted. I'd certainly give them a shot, but not if it means getting stuck downtown after the trains stop running. How's everyone else planning on transport???)

I am planning on dragging NM onto the Metro kicking and screaming. If he'll let me. Heh. :)

At a multi-stage festival, 45 minutes between sets is a luxury. That's beyond enough time to get over to the other stage, more often you're lucky to have 15 or 20 minutes, and usually have to bail on a set early just to get THAT much time.

Would that I could go, but we'll be at Dodger Stadium that evening, hopefully watching the Dodgers crush the Cubs.

We're taking the Metro in. I may stick around for Mars Volta, but we'll see how wiped I am from the day. Actually, its more of the previous week that I'm worried about killing me.

The Mai Shi is crazy, energetic, insane fun. Bitter:Sweet is pure chill. And, we all know GB. GD's right, the time between sets is a luxury.

Oh Gosh, I'm sorry. I read 5:45 as the START time, not the end time. D'uh. Ok, chill time with Bitter:Sweet it is. Perhaps we'll need some before Sweat Bath Time with Gogol Bordello.
