I like the festivals, but it can get a bit overwhelming at times. I think the big advantage of something like Terrastock over something like Lollapalooza (of which I attended #3 and #5) is that they have 2 stages in 2 separate venues, set up so that you can go back and forth - it makes for even more inundation but at the same time you're relieved of the agonizing boredom of stage breakdown/setup. I know Lollapalooza set up a 2nd stage as well but I never could understand why they made it so that both stages played simultaneously...
Curiously, two of the CDs I'm most looking forward to were ones I didn't even buy at Terrastock itself! One of them was part of this series called "Eccentric Soul" that sounded interesting to me, old obscure soul from this label based in your capital city of Columbus - just finished listening to it this morning and it was great! The other CD I've put on is the Euros Childs CD, which was brought over by my Irish friend who shared the room with me and ikahana. And to be honest, there were a lot less vendors at this one than there were at T5 in Boston, so as bad as I got (I counted it up this morning and it appears I spent a little over $400 on CDs) it could've been worse...
