No, I'm not but I'd love to. They not only have one of the best lineups they've ever had but one of the best lineups of all the upcoming summer fests. The Austin City Limits Music Festival is looking awful good this year too.

Don't forget Umphrey's

They had the most buzz after last years late performance.

I wish I could go, have other obligations that weekend. Have a little phun for me if you will.

Austin's Gourds are also gonna be at Bonnaroo. Not sure if their kind of music your thang but if so, be sure to check 'em out. Their cover of Snoopy Doggy Dogg's "Gin n' Juice" is probably what they're best known for but there's lots more to 'em than that. If it helps any, they also namecheck none other than Mr. John Prine in their song "My Name Is Jorge". Definitely one of my favorite bands live or otherwise...

oh ya the Gourds are cool! Yep, the Gin and Juice song is one of my favs...i always think of the guy who introduced that song to me...he passed away a few years ago when he was hit by a drunk driver....i dind't know him well, but the song, always reminds me of him :)

gotta see the gourds too..the problem is the block schedule. it's hard to see everybody!

i'll have fun for all of you guys ;)

They have a pretty good list of people playing. Too bad work gets in the way when summer is the busy season.

so i'm just about all packed. How can one person have a carload of stuff??

Maybe its because I have just about everything I could possibly need, tarps, rope, water balooons, squirt guns, clothespins, the kitchen sink...and more haha.

i'm very excited, this time tomorrow i'll be on the road...alone...that sounds kind of exciting!

I debated going for a while b/c I too couldn't find anyone to go with me. I was planning on going alone since I just live about 30 minutes north of Manchester. However, unforseen circumstances made me miss my chance to buy a ticket (I'm assuming they are sold out). Prepare for a long wait to get in and out. Have a great time. It should be a great weekend of music.
