I'd come again..and again. And the price was VERY nice on the pockets - vickey Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:58:54 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13863 The Picnic was great fun. It was nice to have something like that in Philly. I hate having to travel to NY or anywhere else to experience a cool event like the roots picnic.It's good to see folks come to philly for something cool, instead of the other way around. - polobear Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:44:44 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13789 the picnic was a great time. all the acts were great, and the roots put on one of the best shows i've ever seen. great time, great day all around. - Patrick26 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:43:29 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13749 Shit was bananas, we only got there fro the Roots last set and Gnarls, but shit was well worth it. Would definitely drive up there again. - Josephmurf231984 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:59:38 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13731 The picnic/horsdoeuvers show was a highlight of my summer for sure. It was epic and I hope they do it every year. - Schlegs Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:20:07 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13726 Lots of fun! Would definitely do it again. The heat was horrible though - standing around on unshaded blacktop for 10 hours in June is just a bad idea all around. Please try an alternate venue! - asdgfsdg Tue, 27 Jan 2009 08:41:00 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13688 there have been very few times in my life where i would stand out in the hellish heat reflecting off the more than murky waters of the delaware river, but this day, when the roots shut down the city with an unforgettable, body-moving, ear thumping festival was not long enough. - crumbs08 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:35:15 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-13687 bring back the roots picnic.....was incredible despite the heat. the hor d'oeuvres show was one of my favorite concerts of the year - apa Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:34:11 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/tours/all-webisodes-from-the-roots-picnic-on-okayplayertv-200807276150/#comment-6464 We came up for the weekend from Atlanta - LOVED this festival.
