    I went to the last Buzzed Bake Sale a few years back when Cage the Elephant was on the third stage. It is refreshing to see indie/prog bands back in South Florida. While I love to drive to Orlando to go to the House of Blues for the new bands, it is refreshing to know I can go down the street this time. It's my birthday and I will chose Coral Sky Amphitheater, Of all the names this venue has had (Coral Sky,MARS, Sound Advice,Cruzan)  I like the original. It's like saying Joe Robbie Stadium. People know you are from here.
    Enough of my diatribe.
    I love to eat from food trucks and stay until the last band has played. I will be there rain or shine.

    There is no better way to spend a Sunday than rocking out to Julian Casablancas, dancing to Bombay Bicycle Club and crying with City of Colour while drinking the finest craft beer... I can feel my feet moving already!!!

    I have been trying to see City and Colour for years with many unsuccessful attempts. Yesterday, I found out about this event and literally was planning on buying tickets today for it, but saw this thread.  This would be a great pre birthday kickoff seeing on of my favorite artists.  And who wouldn't want to spend the day drinking beer, eating and listening to good music ?

    Some of the bands playing such as Cage the Elephant and  Julian Casablancas have impacted my life in various ways.  Bands like Wild Cub and City and Colour helped me get through my junior year of High School. Listening to Bleachers on the bus ride home  reminds me  that life is a roller coaster. Listening to Bombay Bicycle Club  allows me to ponder over life. Tokyo Police Club make me feel like I'm part of something more  with their eclectic sounds . Some of these bands have helped me throughout the years and I'm grateful to have developed such a wide taste in music. Winning a pair  of tickets to this amazing festival will help me reach this peak in my life where I can just sit back and enjoy my life to the fullest while listening to the soundtrack of my life stand before me. I can picture myself having the most fun I've had in many years while finally  attending an already acclaimed festival. Please consider! Thanks!

    Where to begin? I've been anticipating this concert since it was announced. Its three components are everything that fuels me with passion (even beer). At the peak of my quarter-life crisis where I tap at a computer in the center of Corporate America, I NEED to feel something beautiful and DO something spontaneous. Before I reside back to my rolling desk chair, I'd like to leave you with this: 1) I can recite every Bombay Bicycle Club lyric by heart. 2) I love every band on this list and think it's a superb lineup. 3) From the Louvre to Wynwood, I'm an art fanatic. In high school and college, I lived in the art studios of my school. Art doesn't pay the bills, but I still try to surround myself with creativity when I can. 4) I'm the happiest, friendliest and most delightful drinker to be around. If you give me tickets to Coral Skies, it's free hugs for everyone. 5) It would mean the world to me. Thanks for reading and for the consideration!

    I haven't been to a concert since my dad took me to see Cyndi Lauper in the early 2000's. I have lots of great memories because of music: singing in choir, making friends through expanding each other's music tastes, sharing playlists, blasting our favorite songs in the car when we hang out, and playing a mix CD one last time on our way to prom. Now I've graduated and I'm strapped for cash, my friends scattered throughout the state doing great things on their own. I'd love to not just be able to see some of these artists in person, but to again be able to share moments and make memories with people who love music as much as I do.

    I've been trying to see Cage the Elephant live for years now ever since my friend Brock Butler started covering Ain't No Rest for the Wicked. The Hold Steady has also been on my list for quite some time now and not to mention the 15 delish food trucks (Ms. Cheezious, Curbside Gourmet, and my favorite -- HipPops!) plus all my favorite local breweries like Buddha, Saltwater, Due South & Tequesta). Please pick me!
