9/25/2010 11:16:40 AM

maybe

9/25/2010 11:21:16 AM

a beer garden where you can only get 8 6oz samples for 20 bucks.

9/25/2010 11:24:33 AM

Oh, that is less than exciting

9/25/2010 11:25:17 AM

looks lame

but i will be working on Hills St til 6 so i guess i'm a part of it

9/25/2010 11:25:44 AM

beer garden was $9 if you bought through groupon

9/25/2010 11:28:46 AM

which I did. I wouldn't have paid 20 bucks for it though.

9/25/2010 11:38:36 AM

What happened to Holy Ghost Tent Revival. They were listed in the TWW ad but now they aren't listed on the website.

9/25/2010 11:50:31 AM

Qntmfred and I will be there with Maya.

9/25/2010 12:11:20 PM

Baby maya and pregnant punchmonk are reason enough to go out

9/25/2010 12:52:40 PM

wow what a waste of fucking money

9/25/2010 1:46:33 PM

So, today during the football game?

Smart planning, Hillsboro Street.

9/25/2010 1:47:44 PM

They are showing the game on a big screen.

9/25/2010 1:50:45 PM

two stages

12+ hours of set time

and not one decent band

9/25/2010 2:12:54 PM

lolz

9/25/2010 2:14:08 PM

not as lolz as the rosebuds opening for a band of wakefield sophomores at bugfest, but still

apparently it's broken

9/25/2010 2:27:16 PM

this festival has fail written all over it

who plans these things?

the only thing that could possibly redeem this for me is if theres facepainting. if theres facepainting i'm going to be mad i didn't go

9/25/2010 3:31:17 PM

I'm gonna head out later tonight to the Amore's afterparty

9/25/2010 3:35:42 PM

I hope 'GetDownSon Ent' gets huge one day so they can go public and have MSNBC hosts talking about their modest gains at the nyse for the quarter

9/25/2010 4:17:53 PM

i am too tired for the beer garden

Well then be ready to get mad!

jk...no face painting

This was a poorly executed event for sure.
Except for the PR...dunno how long this extended outdoor drinking is gonna be, but it works

9/25/2010 6:37:36 PM

yea the drinking outside in the street part is cool for sure. i don't know why but being able to drink outside in the street always makes things better haha. i'm sad no facepainting. i almost came out but...without balloon animals and facepainting i just couldn't bring myself to do it

9/25/2010 6:40:15 PM

They needed better food vendors and better bands, but I did get into the beer garden for free (and really you could get as many samples as you wanted) so I still had a good time.

9/25/2010 6:42:54 PM

Oops! Dp

Drinkin' in the street (drinkin' in the street!)

Plus brina likes it here

9/25/2010 6:44:55 PM

also, free doughnuts.

9/25/2010 6:45:47 PM

i went and enjoyed the 2nd half of the football game, the beer garden. makes me all nostalgic walking around campus

9/25/2010 7:15:31 PM

not worth the traffic problems it caused. but it's only like the 2nd or 3rd year they've tried this. there's definitely some room for it to become a moderately significant event in Raleigh.

9/25/2010 10:27:09 PM

Brina at PR

9/25/2010 10:29:58 PM

Maybe one yr it'll be like rhythm & roots reunion. Or probably not.

9/25/2010 10:33:52 PM

Support our street drink skeet

9/26/2010 3:50:23 AM

I dont care what any of yall haters say- it was fun out there . And the vendors at the beer garden hooked it up for us. I had probably 10~ samples, left and walked down the street to sober up some, came back and had 10 more (and im sure I could have gotten more if I wanted but I felt.terrific at that point)

9/26/2010 7:47:01 AM

dude... the beer garden was well worth the 9 bucks. i got shitfaced.

9/26/2010 8:16:13 AM

If you had to be at the beer garden to enjoy the whole event then it was a fail. Raleigh Wide Open has a beer garden, but they have great vendors, more activities and better bands.

We enjoyed ourselves, yes. But the event as a whole was 5.5/10.

9/26/2010 9:43:59 AM

I got poopfaced at the bier garten

yep, definitely didn't limit anybody's samples. we had 20+ each

i loved the event!

yeah it's always like that...as opposed to the misinformation in the 3rd post of this thread

lol poopfaced

that sucks

The beer garden is the only reason I went- I bought tickets to it before I even knew about the whole festival. Like I mentioned, we did go wandering around the streets though, and check out some of the bands, vendors, etc... I'm pissed that I never registered to vote though- that was something I fully intended to do. But I gotta admit, 9 bucks for all you can drink was quite the good deal, and we fully took advantage of it

9/26/2010 10:55:00 AM

Hopefully there will be more festivities of this nature downtown soon

9/26/2010 10:55:57 AM

I wanted to check out raleigh wide open, I was just under the weather- if they do anything like that again downtown, i'll definitely go check it out (especially if they do it when it isn't 95 degrees again)

9/26/2010 10:58:51 AM

wearing a long-sleeved shirt yesterday proved to be a bad idea

the pits still haven't fully dried...

9/26/2010 11:15:42 AM

lol hope you weren't drinking milk, to boot

9/26/2010 11:16:23 AM

this was the 5th year of raleigh wide open; and i recall it being very pleasant when we went. but i do remember you being under the weather and sad you missed out on wrestling (which was awesome!)

but what i like about these types of things, aside from beer gardens and street drinking--cause I DO like that; hell I have a pulse , are the vendors. i like seeing what's going on around our area and meeting or learning about new artists and businesses. at RWO I picked up a number of cards of local shops and artists that make jewelry, clothes, and other products. i also like the music, but aside from the band doing covers down by PR at 6:30 I was meh on the music.

so from that aspect, this wasn't a good one for me. you and I just like different things at our festivals...

9/26/2010 11:19:51 AM

good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best

Open container was only "allowed" in the beer garden.
This was not an open container event. Had it been, it would've instantly become half as lame.
