Do you guys have any complaints about the festival/anything you'd like to see changed and improved?

I think it is a very well managed festival. Overall I would love it if they got new porta potties in the campgrounds--those antique portas are often horrible, broken door locks and perma-stains!
I think that is more of a Soo Pass Ranch issue rather than a festival issue though. Same with the fences in the venue. Some fences are ok but in some ways they block the energy I think. Again that is more of a Soo Pass issue.

I agree that the campground porta-potties are very old. They could use some updated ones. Our's were always kept very clean though.. and our locks worked. On one occasion we had to walk a couple sites down and the lock got jammed on one of them but the people were tending them so much, we actually found them and told them, then they fixed it right away! You have to remember that Soo Pass Ranch is only used two weeks out of the year though, the rest of the time that area is like a nature reserve.
I don't like the fences in the concert bowl either. But they use those for We Fest because they set up chairs for those shows and need everything sectioned off... We Fest has been around for a very long time too, since 1983 I think!

the potties being old didn't bug me at all... the most important thing about them was that they were pretty much spotless and there were plenty of them
also.. people seemed to do a pretty good job of using the urinal part and keeping the TP dry
I was surprised about how well maintained they were by the staff and the people using them
only thing I was bummed about was the lack of permanent bathrooms in VIP... or my ability to find them.. for some reason I thought there was some
the showers for VIP were less than ideal for the men also.. as I remarked several times over the weekend... they were jail showers
no curtains, no dividers... 5 or 6 heads sticking out of the wall that you had to hold on the whole time or jam on with a rock
...and there was hardly enough room to put your stuff down in the tiny area all this was in
only plus side was that nobody lingered in them so there was hardly any wait

another drawback to saturday only tickets was that in VIP it was pretty much impossible to get a beer in a decent amount of time that day because of all the extra people using their food cards to buy them
there were an insane number of people in the beer line all day long.. many more than the most busy times the other 3 days
