On the music question, you're looking for the festival name, not a band that played the festival? You're also not looking for the year?

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Two
I don't even understand how to begin to go about answering that questions except for the exceedingly obvious one. Do people really remember who played in specific years?govmentchedda wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 3:33 pm On the music question, you're looking for the festival name, not a band that played the festival?

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Two
Yeah, I'm thinking I misread the question too. I just put a festival, not a year (which he did say you didn't need) or band.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Two
It’s like if I asked you to name one of the 15 highest-scoring baseball lineups of all-time but just needed “Blue Jays”. The usual caveats that this is one website’s opinion but don’t make it too hard
And don’t say “Phish”
(Did I even answer your question? Yes, I need the name of a festival where one of those top lineups appeared)

I think I'm being really stupid, but does Q7 mean "name a player named to the HOF who was active from 2010 or later?"

Almost made the funniest typo. Good thing I got a phone call before submitting and took a second look. Would the wrong first name be a wrong answer if no person with that name existed?

I'd like to reframe:
Can we do an expedited Swampcrash while everyone is waiting for The Plague?

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Two
I think Ryan said you have to be able to name one headliner, one on second row of lineup poster, three others from rows 3-20, and a local DJ for it to count.

And yes that festival question was a bit confusing but I suck at this so I'm just out here throwing darts at the wall.
