The whole point is being stranded out in the Catskills and being forced to watch bands and Criterion movies and hang out with your friends and drink for three days. I'm your friend now, Gary, you can hang out with me! Also, the main stage in Kutchers is seriously one of the best venues I've ever been in for sightlines. Even when it's at capacity (3,000 people) , you can stand anywhere in that room and see the band perfectly. And it doesn't sound like stuffing dogshit in your ears like Terminal 5 does.

No Age with Bob Mould doing Husker Du could be good, even though I don't like No Age. Still, Bob Mould is playing with his own band in October. He played Husker Du songs during the acoustic set he played at Joe's Pub some months back, and promised to play more with that band. Suicide is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I see them pretty much every time Marty and Alan play in NYC. To be honest, that's the only thing that may get me to ATP, and if so then just on a day pass. My main point is that I can see pretty much all of the bands on this bill at some point in NYC and sleep in my own bed afterwards.

But they've already picked the mighty BOREDOMS in a 9-drummer lineup, the always-exceptional Deerhoof and a No Age set where they're only playing Husker Du songs with a not-so-secret "special guest vocalist." That's pretty win, duder. Cough up the money and come party with us! Haha. Believe me, I had my doubts.

It skews about 10 years older, usually getting a nice mix of clean-smelling indie-rock quasi-yuppies and friendly Europeans. Also if you don't go, you are FUCKING UP.
