Just figured i'd start a thread for this year's festival. I'm already excited to go again this year. last year was a blast. i'm usually turned off by large crowds, but there just seemed to be such a friendly vibe there. this info has been out for a while, but for those not in the know:

I went 2 years ago when radiohead played, it was really a good time. Hopefully that Pearl Jam rumor is true, i guess Jeff said at University of Montana that they were gonna play, i don't know if that story was confirmed or not. Not to mention the Radiohead rumor for Lollapalooza. Might turn out to be a fantastic summer if those happen. But for bonnaroo this year, ill wait to see the lineup. I don't think it was as good last year as it was for the year before.

I will always remember the name of this festival because of the people still believing PJ were going to play this last year even if they were officially confirmed by every possible source to play the day before in Poland. Mighty good laughs.

my buddy wants to rent an rv. i don't. i like to keep things as cheap as possible and i didn't have a problem sleeping at all last year, so i'm just gonna do the tent thing again. i'll definitely make sure to bring a flagpole this year. i couldn't find my tent a couple of times straggling in late and drunk.

no 'cos there's an act we know to be playing & they were faxed the line up for that day in order to state a preference for their show time. LZ were top of the list but there was no mention of Pj or Neil Young but it was just saturdays lineup.
