I couldn’t make it. How was it?

Here’s one write-up of day one. The Deli SF has a nice write-up of day two. Wired’s blog even has a write up. Max also has a write-up. It’s looking like people had a good time.

This part of the last one did pique my curiosity:

Admittedly nothing ever happens on Treasure Island, despite it’s downright awesome name, and it is inhabited by less than two thousand people who live among the industrial looking hanger buildings and impressive view of the bay. However Kevin Arnold and Jordan Kurland, the minds behind San Francisco’s Noise Pop Festival, are trying to change that, and bring to San Francisco what has evaded it so long, a real music festival. Noise Pop is set up in the same manner as SXSW with lots of little shows happening over a week, but what San Francisco has never had is a large music festival to call it’s own; Chicago has Lolla, New York has CMJ and The Siren Festival among others, Las Vegas has Vegoose, the list goes on, but we have nothing.

Nothing? Have you been to Noise Pop (or Mission Creek)? They’re awesome. I mean, I’d rather see a bunch of bands in small settings than a bunch of bands in a giant setting where I end up sitting around waiting for a few bands and paying for bands I don’t want to see. I mean, I’ve been to Bumbershoot and I’ve been to Noise Pop and Mission Creek. I’ll take the latter two any day. Maybe I’m taking crazy pills though.

Anyway, back to it…

Here’s yet another write-up. Here’s a short video of MIA and here’s a video of a guy dancing with a weird costumed monster. Finally there are a couple pages with single photos.

Did you go? How was it?
