    moe. (glad i'm not the only one who thinks this.....MOE.DOWN in 9 days....anybody going? PM me)

    radiohead

    fuckin' a, bubba. i'll be there. been to every one of them. seeing as i live a little over an hour away, how can i miss it? i'll be bringing my 11 year old boy with me for the second year in a row. can't wait, it's the one weekend every year i look forward to. i'm really excited to see presidents and fishbone.

    and to the person that won't be going that mentioned moe. is taking a break after the .down: i've seen on another board that they're going to be playing shows in late january/early february of '09. not exactly a long break, imo. i thought they'd come back with shows mid-summer '09 to start getting ready for moe.down 10. guess i was wrong. cities weren't mentioned, but i'm guessing they'll probably be playing northeast region.

    Springsteen

    There. How's that for cutting edge? I thought about throwing in someone obscure for the vogue effect, but there's a reason these three acts have followings.
