(I've got a lot of bands to research. The worst thing is when you learn about a band AFTER Bonnaroo and figure out that you LOVE their music and that you completely missed them live the past year.) So who's in?! I wonder when tickets go on sale?

Jesse E. Hunter said...

I wonder if we'll see Vander-Josh there.

Josh said...

THAT'S what I'm talking about, Todd!

Josh said...

man i'm getting so pumped about it the more i think about how awesome last year was.

Josh said...

jess, why would you wonder that? seems a bit random, all things considered.

Jesse E. Hunter said...

He's such a huge Metallica fan-that's why!

Are you two both THAT excited about the lineup? I'm a little disappointed. On the whole, it seems a lot more laid-back of a lineup than in the past.

i gotta say- seeing that lineup- i feel for me, personally- its by far the sweetest lineup of the last 3 years (in terms of my own personal taste)- Kanye, Metallica, death cab, ben folds, pearl jam?! thats just so insane...

i'm in this year- i'll straight up do it- and not only that- i'm actually excited about it-

boom.

that just happened.

So what if I said that I just happened to be on vacation this week? Could I go to this Bonnaroo you speak of? lol

For realsies though, I actually did ask for vacation that week and I got it approved.

I notice Verve Pipe is strangely absent from the lineup- my enthusiasm is somewhat abated. Praps this is a typo? A V-8 moment? Mebbe they will be added later...

Josh said...

billy: i think we need to discuss the pros and cons of bonnaroo with you before you commit. i dont want to talk you out of anything, but you need to know what you're in for :)

dave: what the heck is wrong with you?

Jesse E. Hunter said...

Dave from work or Dave from Hungary? Either way, what the heck is that guy talking bout?

Josh said...

dave from hungary? me thinks it's dave from the donahues.

Jesse E. Hunter said...

Oh THAT Dave...right, right. Look atchya, using your context clues! :*
