It was like walking through a big commercial. Next year I plan on the round-up, Blu, and the race. I will pass on fan fest.

Actually Fan Fest wasn't geared enough toward locals. And from what I heard yes, it was too commercial. A lot of people were commenting how few Austinites seemed to be going to Fan Fest. A lot of the downtown businesses had their worst weekends in many years, supposedly because so few Austin regulars went downtown that weekend. I didn't go either, but not because I didn't want to. I had do other things, otherwise I would have. And when it came time for the free concerts, I was too tired to go.
