Sioux Falls Downtown Live • My two-cents

“Hi. I went to the DT Live show, did you?”

For the most part I had fun. As a person who lives DT, I am always in my element at any event DT. I realize this was the first year of this event, and I hope they continue. For the most part, it went off without a hitch, some of the things I enjoyed about the event were;

• Economical. The ticket price was $10 for three local acts and a national headliner.

• Location. Since nobody is snagging up that Phillips to the Falls land anytime soon, it is a good place to put on an outdoor concert.

But If I was handed a survey on what to improve on, this is what I would say;

• A few more porta potties, but no a major problem.

• Make the event all day, more local bands.

• Better sound quality. It seemed it was too distorted and the sound quality could have been better.

• SUPPLY BIKE RACKS. Please supply a bike valet.

• More food vendors. (even though Uncle Ed’s pork sandwiches are fucking delicious) we need more.

AND MY BIGGEST BITCHES ARE SIMPLE;

• If you advertise a ‘Beer Garden’  – Have a beer garden. Having a tent just over the beer vendors IS NOT a beer garden. Have a covered place for people to drink beer.

• Have more volunteers who know what they are doing when selling beer. Lines are stupid. That is why I create my own lines at these kind of events.

• Too many yuppies. While I cannot probably change this, I will say, that if I see one more pressed Tommy Bahama shirt or pleated shorts this week, I will freaking puke.
