Who Made the Scene in Ocean Beach?
First, as a paying customer ($60/2ppl), I felt it was poor planning to have Gallagher's as one of the venues. We showed up to see Bonerama before they started and there was a line around the corner - it was at capacity. (and was all day) Thank goodness Bonerama got added to the 'Community' stage. BUT - that stage was FREE! We walked straight to the Harp which, to our disappointment, was also at capacity but had a shorter line. Also, I'm surprised to not hear mention of Maceo Parker in this article. He is a jedi master and got the dancing crowd on their feet & heading to the front of the stage! The party officially started. In turn, however, the folks sitting complained and security caused a very large distraction because 'views were obstructed by dancers'. Maceo even said on stage, "i like them dancing up here!" Other honorable mention: Charlie Hunter- He was rockin! Great festie overall, but there were logistical issues. 1 - plan crowd draw & venue capacity accordingly and 2 - create a VIP section for non-dancers so it does not ruin the experience for every other paying customer just trying to have fun. Thanks for putting it all together- it was a great time!— September 16, 2010 11:58 a.m.
