1. We genuinely like Eleanor Tinsley park and think it's a great place for a music festival. Ok, so it doesn't have a whole lot of shade, but neither does Zilker Park, and that doesn't stop anyone from going to ACL Fest.

3. Did I say "ACL Fest?" Ha, yes, I guess I did. Thing is: Houston could do with an indie music festival. Everyone else has one for years. If you don't go, you're just confirming that we don't deserve one. Don't do that.

6. Free Press' Omar Afra is saying there's going to be free water. I don't know what kind of magic that dude has up his sleeve, but it must be serious.

10. You're agoraphobic and don't like dark clubs. Completely understandable.

17. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Project Row Houses.
18. Southern Backtones

20. There's a recycling program in place. How many times have you thrown away a water bottle at iFest and cringed because you would have rather recycled it? Who is with me? We need responsible festivals in this city.

23. A two-day "fancy pants" pass only costs $45, which gets you $20 in food and drink vouchers and cooling stations and whatnot. I mean, really. That's just silly.

27. You're a complete newbie to the Houston indie-music scene and want to know what it's all about. This festival was MADE FOR YOU.
