Newport Folk Festival 2010

While it doesn't appear that Jimmy will be on the bill this year, I am interested in checking out the Folk Fest. Having never attended before, I'm curious if anybody here has any past experience with it?

I think I'll be going on Sunday. Looks like a good lineup with a nice mix of talent.

[The Lost Manatee]

Well I see my friend Tim is there on the first night, along with Steve Martin. Those two alone would make the price of admission seem small.

That is a pretty decent line-up...even without JB
