I'm considering going to the Download Festival this year, but I'm thinking of going with some different friends.

Anyone considering going as well?

I really want to go but none of my friends are into that stuff and I can't go on my own I'd get lost.

I would, except I live nowhere nearby it, and I'm not paying money for a plane ticket to see Dir en grey just now.

I'm between home in Seattle, and school in Virginia.
Whenever something cool happens nearby One of these places, I'm not there.

But Download festival seems like it has a real kick-ass lineup this year. Hope you enjoy yourself!

That's gotta suck.

Yea, I hope I can go. I went last year and it was awesome.

Just the atmosphere there, one of my female friends actually said that she felt safe walking around the campsite at night on her own coz the people there are so cool.

That looks epic, but unfortunately I live completely across the ocean from the UK.

Hope you enjoy it. =)

Sorry, can't make it. Too busy this year.

Incidentally, I'm only 30 minutes from where they do South by Southwest (I'm just south of Austin, Texas).
