For those of you who have been to OLF before, assuming PJ comes on at 8.... how early should I get to the stage to get a decent view/get fairly close to the stage? Also, with Incubus being the other main headliner on Friday, will they put them in the slot before PJ on the main stage? Do they put the other big names playing at 8-10 on other stages? It'd suck to not see Incubus...

I cannot speak to how early you need to be there to get close to the stage, and I'm not really sure what you consider "close to the stage" ... but, this is PJ, so, if you need to be in the first 10-15 rows, I'm guessing you better be at the mainstage all day.
Someone who waited for Radiohead last year might have a better idea.
As for Incubus ... tough to say. Last year, they had Beck scheduled on Friday night as well as the headliner Radiohead. Beck finished at 7:50 at a different stage than Radiohead (scheduled at 8:00), and it was an absolute cluster-fuck for people trying to get back to the mainstage for Radiohead.
Several reasons why I don't think it would be as bad this year if they were at different stages:
1) Last year was year 1 for this festival ... I'm sure they've learned some lessons. (They even made logisitcal changes between day 1 and day 2 last year based on night 1's mess)
2) Radiohead is a bigger draw than PJ
3) Beck is a bigger draw than Incubus
Note for those that hang back ... they do have several large diamond vision screens above the stage.

i will be waiting for the timetable to decide when to make my move. depends on what the crowds are like
yeah ... same here, I got a feeling there is going to be too much talent all over the park for me to hang at one place all day ... Friday has a great lineup.

Thanks for the info.... I figured it would be something like the setup you described with Beck and Radiohead last year. I'm just really glad the Mars Volta play on Saturday and not Friday so I can for sure see them and PJ. I'm pumped!

Good, one less person to push away to get up to the front :twisted:
With all seriousness though, jimed14 summed up the situation last year. One thing I will say, whatever they do, they better not fuck up the sound this year.

if two of The National, Built to Spill and The Duke Spirit are at the main stage as well, I might hang there all day ... but, damn, I've seen PJ nearly 20 times, I got tickets to see a bunch of bands, not just one. Also, i'm planning on taking in a few shows on the west coast tour ..... if it ever gets announced.
It'll be interesting to see of Tom Jones comes on stage with PJ ... that would be a trip.

I'm just hoping for a main stage lineup of the following because I'll be there all day long:
Silversun Pickups
Tom Jones
Incubus
PJ
BTW - I've just sold my 3-day pass, so I'm all set now with just my single day pass.
A couple of things remain:
1) Determine how I'll stay in the front of the crowd all day long at the main stage. Suggestions?
2) Determine how many bagels to bring to the line...and how many smears.

Thanks for the ticket mookie
look forward to eating bagels with you and pearljgirl2010 and the rest of the crew in SF in 2 months
damn, i was all set to do just fri and sat but i'm totallyl digging sunday's line up as well. looks like I'll hav to bit the bullet for the 3-day. either way, totally stoked for some cool ass SF weather and checking out a new fest. hope to see yall there!
Should I not be surprised that single day tickets are not sold out? I probably shouldn't be, but PJ/Incubus etc have very healthy fan bases. Even Saturday is not sold out yet.

couple things...first, i couldnt agree more that the OSL message board is pathetic. secondly I too cannot wait for the mars volta and I'm excited to take a listen to Tom Morello's new gig, Street Sweeper Social Club and Cage the Elaphant. Plus the weather is going to be fantastic, a nice break from the 100 degree heat and humidity of florida:)
festivals are tough to have good mssg boards for ... they are annual, bands change so the same people don't go, etc etc
I think that Bonnaroo has a really good one- lots of support and great info for newcomers

Is anyone getting the bauer shuttle pass that they are selling? Does it get you closer than regular public transportation? I couldn't really tell from the map so I didn't know if that was the way to go. Anyone get one last year?

Yes, it will be cooler than FL. However, will we have 58F, cloudy, and 20 MPH wind or 82F, sun, and no wind? Maybe both?

headliners were scheduled from 8 - 10 last year ...

And for those fellow hip hop fans gotta love atmosphere on sunday, as well as the beasties.
