I still hold out hope that Zeppelin and Pearl Jam play Roo.

There are a few towns 15-30 miles out that still have rooms, but book it NOW before they announce the line-up

We just booked a hotel in Murfreesboro which is about halfway between Nashville and Manchester; some hotels there were booked solid, but there were still some available.

Why are you guys booking hotels now before any announcement? That's crazy. Unless you're going regardless PJ shows or not, this seems a little absurd. Even if you cancel, you still have to pay, no?

I too remember running to the kids stage after receiving a text that Ed was playing, though I can't complain about Jim James doing kids tunes on the banjo


BUT bonnaroo has a dedicated stage for solo sets and short acoustic sets, that has regularly scheduled sets from about noon til the sun goes

Yep, that was fantastic... one of the lolla highlights for me not sure pegasus would agree though

We have a hotel just for Sunday night- to shower and get a good night sleep before the drive back to Florida the next day. and for the person in front of you, no, you can cancel the hotel up to one day prior with no fee.

I'll be camping I love festival camping... only been to one but it's soooo much better than going back to a nice cosy hotel... and I do know how crazy that sounds.

Oh hurry up and announce the line up... I wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We'll get a huge tent cos we were talking about it in Birmingham... Babs will definitely go, so will I, I'm pretty sure Pippa, Jody and Chris said they'd come and even Simon said he'd come

I'm not looking at flights til I have my ticket... no point! Once I have the ticket I'll make it work... I think we should fly into NY or Chicago or something and ROAD TRIP it

Babs and I were talking about Road Trip to Seattle before I realised the Green River reunion is not close enough in time.

several big tents then because there's going to be the Canadian possie as well I'm sure!

Chicago road trip could be good

i promised myself one festival, then save for school.
bonaroo, lollapalooza, coachella? what to pick what to pick...
i've ruled out coachella, i mean... i'd love to see jack johnson and dcfc, but... looks like its down to lolla again or roo... and i'll probably go with the latter if rumours are true!

well you've done lolla... bonnaroo has TENTS doesn't that just sound like so much more fun?

Hmmm... well since you're all doing it, I think I may have to look at flights too

just looking so far..
I'd looked at lolla flights last year and I'd given up ..
then less than 2 weeks before, looked again, prices had gone down..and the rest is history

Steph, blame it on those crazy europeans

Yep, it's all our fault.

Where are you looking at flying into? I may try and get a direct flight but there are other things around the same time so I mightn't be flying from Dublin at all. I'll find out over the weekend

I went to Coachella and Lollapalooza last year (both great experiences), but have yet to experience a single Bonnaroo. As broke as I am, this might be the perfect year to make my debut! It would be grand to have it simultaneously be my PJ live fix for '08. I hope they announce it soon!
