Episode #58 of Scottify is below. (Also, follow Scottify on Facebook.)
Today’s episode is entirely dedicated to the recently announced Best Friends Forever Fest, taking place Oct. 11-13 in Las Vegas. This is my When We Were Young, folks (even down to the same city, and only a weekend prior to boot). I am absolutely flabbergasted at the strength and consistency of this lineup, which means it will probably be a failure and never happen again (see also: the 2011 Krazy Fest reboot, Camp Punk In Drublic, et al).
While Vegas is a pretty bizarre place to stage this (and seeing as how they have just announced individual-day lineups and are going to start selling single-day tickets a whopping seven months in advance, which tells me their first week of sales absolutely did not go as planned), I already shelled out $300 for a three-day VIP pass like a sucker, so I’m pot committed — maybe I’ll see you there?
