Hey Gov Ball team. I got a 3-day pass to the festival and am really looking forward to it (I'll be ringing in my birthday with you that weekend). I'll also be getting a 3-day pass to the Panorama music festival when that lineup drops.

I want to ask you about the opposition you've shown to Panorama from its inception -- what's with all the hate?

If Austin can support three major weekends of music in a span of six weeks between ACL and Fun Fun Fun Fest, why can't New York support two? And if you think you can't compete with AEG's new festival and think more people will choose to go to that one, why do you deserve to exist? If festival-goers decide to go to Panorama over Gov Ball, won't that tell you something about the quality of that festival vs. yours?

Sorry for the blunt line of questioning, but I'm just trying to understand your reasoning (though I get that you're trying to protect your economic interests here).

For the record, I want you both to succeed. I'd love to be able to go to two major music festivals in New York every summer.
