Bonnaroo Roll Call

Anybody else making the trek to TN? We are leaving out Weds night at about 6 pm. I can not wait.
I'll be watching in the AT&T Blue Room.

Some of the set starting times are crazy. Someone going on at 3:15 am?

And Drive By Truckers got shafted with a 12:30pm Friday start time.
given the heat, 3 AM set times are not only understandable but desirable. then again, that's also probably the only time one can sleep.
enjoy the cops, the frats, the fields of non-freedom, while you listen to musicians and thousands of other jerks who don't belong at a festival with the spirit bonnoaboob used to have.
who, exactly, "belongs" at a festival?

i didn't realize this was a private club. MEMBERS ONLY.

hippies
I will be there.

I always find it funny when festies complain about a Festival going corporate. The festival was always corporate. The organizers of it always wanted the big bucks. They just had to wait until they were big time enough, and then when they were, they took the money and ran. Only an undergraduate in college would believe it was any other way. Nothing changed, the curtain just got lifted up .

nothing changed? wow, you do belong there.
No, nothing changed. The people who ran the show, always saw in $$$$$$. Once they got in position to cash in, they did. They didn't just wake up one day and start thinking that way. It was all apart of the plan. Every festival date before this one was so they could eventually get to this one. Some people are just stupid enough to fall for it, so they cry when it "all of a sudden" goes capitalism on them. But whatever. Don't go to Bonnaroo. Stay home and vote for Obama.
I will be going to Bonnaroo and voting for Obama.
be sure to check out the postelles. really liked them last night and they mentioned they were headed to bonnaroo.

I'm not going this year, but wow, in looking at the schedule I see SO many conflicts that I'd encounter if I was going.
I am leaving work to go home and head out in about an hour. This is going to be my first time there, and i hope it doesnt dissapoint. I also see a few conflicts, but the main one for me is Tegan and Sara/Minus the Bear. Also Rilo Kiley/Willie Nelson is a hard one as well.
Alas, I have decided to go. I will not leave til Thursday after work though, just going for the 2 days. Coming home Sunday cause Sundays lineup bites it hard.
As far as your first conflict, I'd skip both and head for some place shady.

As far as your second conflict, one is a legend and one will never be. See the legend while you can. That said, his live act seemed to be on the downturn even 10 years ago, so if you have already seen him in your lifetime, you're allowed to go to the other one.

Having seen Rilo Kiley last week I would say to see them unless you feel the need to say you saw Willie. They were very good live and having seen both live before…i would choose Rilo hands down.

just my opinion!
I'm going since I live in Nashville. I'm going for free as a guest of the corporate pigs that are putting the festival.

They are nice guys simply trying to make money like any business. Because it's a festival as opposed to anything else, does that mean it's not ok for them to try and make money? They are no different from someone like Seth.
