Voting out of a pool of bands who've requested slots, I kind of like the idea but the not as well-known bands will get screwed, and how many of today's favorites were once unknown by most of us? Every year we have a Lung or a Motherfucker where we're like "whoa, where have they been?" That's gonna be a delicate balance. Maybe put x number of slots to a vote? The other upshot is, how many people will realistically buy a pre-sale ticket 4-5 months in advance so they can vote? Aren't we usually urging people to buy their tickets up until days before?J.

At the expense of not everyone gets to play it makes it less of an endurance test for the audienceOh, so much this. Thundersnow and the Campout are like this and I love it. So many of our events feel more like 12-hour shows than social gatherings, and that's a special kind of grind when you feel like even a 3-band bill is a challenge to get through, which is something I hear more and more from people.
