The crowd was, as always, about a 100 times more graceful and community minded than the Comfest crowd. I can't tell you how much I love the vibe at this fest compared to every single other one the city. Its really representative of my neighborhood, and has much more of a family and friends, laid back air about it.<br /> At the same time, the main stage performers absolutely tore it up this year, and my highlight was a maybe 5yr old little girl wailing on a mic with Descendre.</p> <p>The smaller stage, however, was a travesty of programming today. Yesterday, the day wound down with some great performers on the "Woodlands Tavern Stage" that I missed (Happy Chichester, for one), but today was damn near embarrassing. I mean BAD... really bad.<br /> What's the deal with Woodlands running a stage for Hot Times, anyway?<br /> If any bar should be approached for it, shouldn't it be Carabar?<br /> At least you'd get booking that'd rival the main stage, but be completely different...</p> <p>Ah well, it doesn't matter anyway... wasn't like I was all that motivated to walk away from the main stage's music, blueberry lemonade vodka, and BBQ tents if I didn't have to... </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/hot-times-fesrival-2011#post-391778 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 06:05:20 +0000 Walker 391778@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>KingLincolnUrbanEnthusiast <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/hot-times-2011-in-olde-towne#post-391777">said</a>:</cite><br /> The annual Hot Times Festival will be held September 9-11 at Main and Parsons in the Health Department lawn.
