Field Day is supposed to be a mega-concert on the far reaches of Long Island next weekend. The bill is pretty impressive. Beck, Beastie Boys, Sigur Ros and Blur are just some of the highlights.

However it seems that the promoters are ill-prepared to say the least. With less than two weeks until show time Suffolk County is denying their permit because of silly little issues like a police force for the expected 80,000 attendees, infrastructure concerns and environmental impact. They say that they're going to go on with the show but that certainly seems like wishful thinking. Doesn't it seem like they would have planned such a large event in a better manner?
