So folks... whats the word on this Krewe of Roo thing.

Anyone remember what the difference in price was for earlybird tix? And how many you reckon we can order (to split up the Krewe costs).

And most importantly do you think those faulkers will let us know who's playing before the Jan 27th early bird date? I mean, spending big dough for questions marks is kind of sh!t no?

How bad could the line up be?

Rush > Max Webster Seemless Sets to Open.

That would be great!

Umphrey's McGee performed Rush's "YYZ" at the first bonnaroo and Primus performed the same song at the most recent, so I'm sure a lot of other people and musicians would love Rush at bonnaroo too.

Hey Willy,

Unless you have a private contact for an RV, you should get on a rental ASAP. This time last year I looked at pretty much every RV rental spot south of Sudbury in Ontario and they all get booked for the summer months in December.

And for the record the best deal I could find was at Thousand Islands RV Centre in Ganonoque..

Still not going... I think I'm giving up on my dreams of hitting a 'Roo... Too hot, too big, too far away and not enough time to see full sets... What if I went all the way down there to catch, say, Modest Mouse, but had to miss half their set, because I didn't want to miss, say, Umphrey's? How do you pick? I got a (small) taste of this at Evolve last year, when I left certain sets to make sure I wouldn't miss full sets of another band. I missed some good sh!t, too... No, for the money and time I'd need to invest in this, I think I'll pass...

Hey Del,

Cyberhippie says the same thing you do about "How do you pick?" It's simple if two bands were playing separate venues on the same night in Ottawa you make your decision and go with it, right? Bonnaroo is the same thing. If you want to see Modest Mouse more than Umphrey's McGee than see all of Modest Mouse's set and miss some or all of Umphrey's.

I've been to all three bonnaroo festivals so far and though I'm not overly thrilled with this years line up right now, I'm still going to go because for the bang for your buck you can't beat bonnaroo.

All I care about it the music and if you work hard enough you can see more music at bonnaroo in a weekend than most see in a month.

It's hard work seeing that many bands at bonnaroo, but for me it's well worth the trip past Nashville, Tennessee.

Now my fingers are still crossed for Cream.

Fair enough, but after Evolve, I swore my next festival would be a little something for me... (ie. not as much work) May CTMF is an all-play-no-work kind of event, but as far as the summer goes, I'll probably be sticking around the NE United States...
