To begin with, the City Park grounds are more crowded. The early acts on the big stages donβt play to an entirely empty field. Many people have already camped out on blankets everywhere.
@NickMainieri (2:20 p.m.) β Lots of crusty old rockers walkin round today. #voodoo
A day for crusty rockers.
Voodoo 2010 marked our fifth year covering the Voodoo Experience. This year we enlisted the talents of Grant Ingram, who covered the stage, and Nick Manieri, who covered the ground.

Voodoo Music Experience β 2010 β Day 1
The girls tell me that I suck because I donβt want to buy a weekend pass from them. One is dressed as a windup doll, another a skeleton, and another as something in a pink jumpsuit. They sit on the grass lawn in front of the Museum of Art. They laugh.
I get my wristband and go to the gate. I am the only person going into the festival at the moment. I can hear music pumping, but the crowd is a late arriving one. Inside, dudes are peddling waters and beers out of coolers, and companies have their merchandise tents set up. Very few people otherwise. I feel the odd anxiety that goes along with having told people I will βtweetβ about something.
@NickMainieri (11:17 a.m.) β Guy at check-in: the world is yours bro. have a good experience. #voodoo
