Bonnarooooooo

I bought a ticket this morning. I’m going with M and R (ironic, isn’t it?) and it’s 132 days away.

THERE IS NO WAY I’M GOING TO MAKE IT THAT LONG!!!!!!!

I’m already ready to go out of my mind. There’s a group of us that know each other that are going. It is ALL we talk about.

I get to be a hippy for 4 days. Barefoot, flowers in the hair, happy on life for 4 days. Something like 60 bands in 3 days, plus any unannounced stuff going on Thursday.

The bands include….

Widespread Panic (2 shows)

Alison Krauss & Union Station
Modest Mouse
Gov¹t Mule
Bela Fleck Acoustic Trio
The Mars Volta
John Prine

This is the kinda stuff that I live for. I can not wait.

A quote from the Yonder Mountain String Band show last year…”As you stagger into the house, filthy after four days of festivating in 90 degree heat with 90,000 other people, your mom or your dad or whomever will look at you and say ‘Man! You look better than I’ve ever seen you look!'”
