We went to the Virgin Music Fest yesterday at Toronto Island. The weather was great and it was a good list of performers, but we decided not to go again today because it was difficult and tiring.
When we got to the ferry terminal at the harbor, there were thousands of people in line. So we began the day of frustrating waits. Waiting to get on the ferry, waiting to get off the ferry, waiting for bag check, waiting to get carded at the beer tents, waiting for tickets to buy drinks, waiting to buy the drink. Once we got a drink, we couldn't drink it anywhere near the stage. That is the nature of drinking in Ontario. Bummer.
It was a beautiful day and we caught some really good shows, including M.I.A (which we almost missed because of the painfully long line and wait for the ferry), Mute Math and Bjork.
We wanted to go today to see Stars and Metric, but for 2 sets totaling 2 hours we'd spend double that time in travel and are just too wiped to do it. Would I go next year? I don't think so. It just wasn't worth all the effort. I may change my mind if the line-up is really good though.
