If the city gets it's shit straightened out, put in the Dome.
But seriously, it was a great, affordable fest. I understand if they want to make it bigger (ie. bigger acts) they need to start charging more money, but I heard quite a few people commenting how they enjoyed the size of the festival. You could hear a great band form a great vantage point for very little money. Compare that with other ACL/Pitchfork style festivals and you can see how this could be an elite festival.
I am also a fancy pants pass holder and I waited in that line. Yeah, it sucked, particularly after being let in and being told I had to go back outside to get my vouchers and wrist band (waited 1+ hour and missed The Sword). However, in FPH Houston's defense, most of the people in line seemed to be able to recall the first ACL, which was one big clusterfuck. They ran out of water, long lines to get in (though not as bad as Summerfest) and a general disorganization. I've got faith the FPH will get their act together for next year.
