yeah the upper portion of the undercard is pretty good but still not worthy of a festival of Lolla's stature… unless that stature is falling.
Primavera just makes everything else look like dreck, this year, honestly.

I think Bonnaroo did great.  Excited for it.
Austin Psych Fest is gold.
I'll be at Bonnaroo, Firefly, and Lolla.  Yes the lineup for Lolla this year is atrocious but I love going out to Chicago for it.
;D

I don't like any of the top 6 acts.  I don't know what this has to do with me.  I like a few of the lower bands on the list but it is certainly not a year I would go. 
i bought my ticket for governor's ball months ago. i'm already scheming ways to get out of it. a 35 year old going to a festival in NYC alone…. what was i thinking? it took a lot of effort just driving to baltimore thursday night for okkervil river. LOL.

about ten years ago going to iceland used to be so cheap! remember? I think you could get there for 299…everybody was doing it
yep, in 1995, i went to scotland via icelandair for $300

now cheapest ticket to scotland is like $1000
Accommodation isn't cheap either in Iceland. Too bad because for half of the price I would go.

;D
Beck"s stop in St Louis is at the Pageant!  Would have loved to see him play a club date in DC…

It is cheap.  It is just not cheap if you go in July or August.  Went at the end of September for my honeymoon and it was really cheap. But rooms tend to be small.  Dinner was expensive but the food is so good so it is worth it.  Airline tickets were only 500 round trip.  That was September 2012.
