Bonnaroo is a great chance for you to expand your horizons. I am simply stunned by how close minded some PJ fans are behaving.

say if they do tour within the year or next spring do they always play the gorge when they go to Washington? or is it just a special thing they do every once in a while?

Dear 10c member-

Happy New Year!

We're all really excited about 2008 and we really hope you are, too. While it's still too early to make any big announcements, we want to let you all know that the band is looking forward to a busy year ...

In the meantime, we wanted to let you know about a special opportunity to purchase a VERY limited edition of Eddie Vedder's "Into the Wild" on vinyl. The vinyl pre-sale starts January 14th at 10am Pacific only at http://www.tenclub.net.com, and the limited stock is available only while supplies last.

I'm going to be stinky, sweaty, muddy, shittin in the woods, fuckin in the campgrounds, high as a kite and dancing my hippy ass off...

And you know what?

I'm probably not going to miss any of you armchair PJ fans...

Stay away.... You NEED airconditioning...

This is not for you.

Me and my other toothless southern friends will have plenty of city folk to have butt sex with...

You won't be missed...

i think its more about having the means... but prefering to spend those means on individual PJ shows this year instead of roo... we just dont know if those shows are gonna happen yet... not to mention the roo lineup is not particularly great... if i was in TN already i could probably justify it... but i dont wanna make the trip for something im not in 100%

Exactly. The land of The Grand Ole Opry is last place I want to see PJ share the stage.

Hell, I wouldn't go there if PJ was playing their own show and it was the only one of the year.

if I wanted to see a festival I could go to one of the many festivals which are closer to me on the east coast. And guess what??? most if not all of the "inventive, different and radical" musicians which are playing Bonnaroo will also be playing other festivals.... guess why??? because they need festivals and a wide range of music to appeal to many people. Plant/Krauss will be touring all over the US so them and PJ or MMJ certainly don't make this the "can't miss event of the summer".

Sorry but people have different musical tastes besides PJ.

Impossible.

My negativity stems from the exorbitant cost it will take to actually go..

I am not the sort of fella to camp out, but, as someone who has been to Coachella every year, I think it is totally worth it to experience a big festival. You'd be surprised as to how many bands you may like after seeing them live.

Big festivals are more then just music...they are about a sense of community, people watching, and escaping the real world for a weekend.

I have no problem seing them at a festival, they may be playing a few festivals this year. SXSW still has not been annouced, and I am not planning on going to that one either, as well as there is still Virgin Fest in DC/Baltimore and the new All Points West festival in NJ/NY(or Coachella east I guess). I am willing to gamble on a few other shows poping up rather than drop a grand on this one. Congrats to every one going to bonnaroo.

Exactly correct.

Also you have the option of staying at a hotel and driving in each day if you don't want to camp.

People who say there is nothing to see other then PJ are already trippin balls and they aren't even at the roo yet. If I go I'm down to see All headliners EVEN KANYE. (Love Graduation...Here's to the Good Life) Plus Plant and Krause, the Fucking Allman Bro's, MMJ, Talib and Lupe for some Hip Hop, PHIL LESH and FRIENDS jamming some Dead stuff. Plus the Super Jam which always kick ass. Maybe you people need more diverse ears as I'm even down for Mastadon!

My main issue is convincing my festival hating friends and girlfriend to go with me.

Maybe if they add Candlebox, people would get excited, since so many are stuck in the 90s!

No hate here. Sounds like an awesome lineup with PJ, Metallica, Mastodon, Kanye, Lupe, Talib Kweli, etc. It's too bad last year's Bonnaroo didn't have this lineup cuz I'll be in Europe and Asia this summer and I'm not changing my plans for a fucking concert.

thats funny actually

the negativity is towards the lack of other info

not towards the festival, which has a great lineup
