it's not that way for me.
the lineup for coachella this year is nowhere near as good as the lineup was last year. i contemplated going, but it just wasn't worth it to me. lollapalooza is going to be much more fun for the money and it's not going to be 100+ degrees in chicago.

i absolutely agree that this year's coachella lineup pales in comparison to 2004…i mean, the cocteau twins?? may as well have booked enya while they're at it.

bauhaus is really the only band i'm bummed about. i'm hoping against hope that they're on lolla too. i was sad to see that peter murphy was coming to the 9:30 by himself. anyway…the e-mail sent yesterday said "diverse load of talent that will bust your mind with some indie stars, classic icons, a reunion or two, mash up, and more". obviously dino jr. counts as a big reunion. maybe bauhaus will be #2.

Let me add, that with a $9 service fee, and a $7 shipping charge, you are looking at a $101 total

i KNEW they would be over $100 :)
its still about $60 cheaper than Coachella.

i do remember hearing that…wasn't it the whiny, yelping lead singer that said she couldn't do the show? did they replace them with anyone else…i don't even go to the coachella site anymore because it will just make me sad.

I booked a room at the Cass Hotel just in case I decide to go. I can always cancel it. What hotel did you find LRHippo? It's sounds closer than the Cass.

the cass sucks. sure, it's a few blocks off michigan ave, but it's a terrible hotel. stayed there once, and the window in the room was broken, and they wouldn't move us to another room, and wouldn't fix the window.

the tickets get more expensive as they announce more bands? I dont know, these 37 arent going to get me to Chicago, i dont think.

No, didn't know I need to explain more. A lot of festivals are actually doing this now. They have an alotment of tickets at $85, once those sell out they go to $100, etc. Has nothing to do with bands being announced. The $85 could be sold out now for all we know.

all i needed to see was the dandy warhols! this just made my day a bit better, and my wallet a bit lighter. luckily ive got a cousin in chicago and a free place to stay! this just got even better! :D
