I used to go to block party every year. Missed it last year and will probably skip it again, depends if my friends are up for it or not. I just tend to prefer regular shows to festivals and I always spend a lot of time seeing Seattle bands when I'm there and I can see those bands all the time anyway.

There's definitely some good bands on the list so far though and if you're from out of town a lot of the Good to Die bands are cool.

If I end up going I'm totally down to meet up with any ILF folks

This, except I'm actually probably going to go. Chromatics are pretty much my favorite band.

I mean, I literally saw three of those bands at one show just last week.

'09 was a really good year for it. Not super crowded and the Cha Cha was fairly empty most of the time and serving cheap beer.

I think I was there that year! I had to keep walking back and forth from Akimbo, and Chromeo because they were playing at the same time.

I'd like to see Sandrider, but could probably see them on a headlining gig

[FancyMike]

Sandrider is cool.

One of the best moments from Block Party in 2011 was Akimbo in the Cha Cha.

I thought this thread was going to be about Washington DC.... I have not been to the block party in years.
