<p dir="ltr">2) I ate a pulled pork sandwich and fried from Julian's and felt full for hours. I probably gained weight. The food should have come with a warning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3) Some of the lyrics sounded muddled. Sound engineers at Gillette Stadium have figured out how to produce an outdoor concert. Aren't we entitled to the same high quality? </p>
<p dir="ltr">4) Most importantly, it was unbearably hot in front of the stage and I was forced to set up my chair in the shade. You'd think the organizers would have thought to arrange for some additional clouds in the sky.</p>

There was plenty of space far from the stage to shield sensitive ears. And I agree - daytime joyful noise should hardly be a basis for complaint, even if the music wasn't your cup of tea (and my only complaint was that the Mighty Good Boys weren't loud *enough* - solution: move closer!)<br>
<br>
Well done to the organizers and sponsors. Can't wait for next year!<br>

> I agree that the event was fantastic but do think the music was a little too loud especially as they had face painting and so it made it seem like the event would be kid friendly. Both my kids complained it was too loud and it also was for me. Also I do think that the playground needs repair. The hanging poles with seats are supposed to be chained to the ground and kids are supposed to walk from one to another. Instead two of them are completely gone and the last one has been ripped out of the ground so kids are swinging on it with the chain flying up hitting other kids. I saw two kids hit with the chain at the event. So I guess it does make me think about park priorities. That being said, congrats to the planning committee as I do think it was a wonderful event.<br>

> By nature, I hate loud music and crowds, and live close enough to Lippitt Park to the music. Also close enough to the Brown Stadium to hear football games. And the Hope Street festivals as well. (I am really sensitive to sound!) Nevertheless, it is in my interest to live in a neighborhood where people get together and have fun, make friends, socialize, rock out now and then, play outside as families, sing and dance together. I think it’s a great use of public space, I’m grateful to the people who organize and support it, and I am glad no one presses me to take part. We have a wonderful neighborhood. So I support this use of Lippitt Park! One of the kids on our block got a really fabulous face painting. What fun!<br>
