Word on the streets (at least among my friends who range from 21 to 32 years old) is that tix are overpriced. Many point to Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party, where an arguably better lineup can be had for $18 per day, as opposed to the Broadway Bloc Party's $30 per day ($50 two-day). Well, quit your whining Oregon college students and college grads! Odds are you just picked up a fat $600 check from the gov, plus this is, like, the perfect example of what we want happening in Eugene, plus it's a freakin' benefit for KWVA campus radio. So get your butts downtown, people.

i really do hope that it comes back bigger and better (and cheaper) next year. you are right, eugene does need this sort of thing-- but there is one thing that you absolutely need to know BEFORE booking an event like this: people in eugene are fucking cheap. that will NEVER change!
