looks like my friend cant go until friday after school. I know i'll miss Friday's supercool bands, but hopefully i will make it to MMJ's show.

anyone have experience with this? will have to walk ten miles in the dark to get to the stages? maybe i should just park in the day parking and camp saturday night.

    I thought about doing this as well when I was trying to make the Tampa show, but now after looking at the schedule, I'm glad that I passed on Tampa- Friday will be the best day for music (non-PJ of course) out of the entire weekend. I'm not arriving until Thursday night and I'm expecting around a 30 min walk

    yeah. i'm bummed i'll miss out on Raconteurs, Truckers, Les Claypool and a few others. The Saturday lineup is kinda weak. oh well. i get my PJ and then maybe Sigur Ros. I heard the Kanye show is pretty good even if you dont like him.

    Sucks that Superjam is opposite MMJ too. might be a tough choice.

    i'm driving up from New Orleans Friday. I'm going to be speeding to get there by ten, if i'm lucky.

    I'd suggest getting there as early as you can on Thursday. Not only will you miss a lot of music by going Friday, but you'll end up in butt fuck nowhere. Being a 45 min walk from your tent to Centeroo is brutle in that heat. Trust me.

    thursday isnt happening. i'm pretty much resolved to missing half of the Roo, but i promised i wouldnt leave my little buddy. I can't leave her behind!

    some friends of ours are going thursday. maybe we could just sleep in one of their cars or something so we wont have to walk so far.
