Fuck YESSSSSSSSS!!! I expect a full revival of the 10th Avenue Ten at this thing.
It puts them in the general area for Roo, which is the important thing.
I honestly don't think I could deal with the kind of lazer wook crowd that lineup is gonna draw.
if history repeats itself, looks like they'll be playing a saturday night 9:45-12:45 set if you go by how last year's schedule was with Widespread Panic as headliner..
http://www.jambase.com/festivals/wakarusa/ (http://www.jambase.com/festivals/wakarusa/)
if this is the case and you guys don't want to succumb to the lazer wookies.. they sell a pass for just Saturday shows for 69 bucks.. i believe this is the option I'm gonna try for as it's a 11 hour drive to Ozark from here where I live.
Could I?

The lazer wook contingent is going to be serious, but I'll be able to handle it considering the 3-hour drive for me. I'll be in with a crowd from Stillwater, so I'll see those of you decide to make the brave journey.
flyguy: You could!
just talking to a good friend who (sometimes) has good info...says it's legit
also means Bonnaroo lining up...he thinks Neil Young, Soundgarden, Arcade Fire, U2---with MMJ getting that Fri 12-4 slot...
we need to start a What if....Bonnaroo thread.... :) ;)
Why don't festivals happen after planting season? :( Does Arkansas really consider itself part of the midwest?
Hmmm, I have some friends who went to this festival twice, did the VIP option the second year and found it so awful that they will never return.
I'm wondering if single day tickets are sold...could definitely hang out for MMJ day. not sure that there's enough beyond the headliners and second-liners to keep me there for a weekend.
I think I'm in!

if MMJ and ben harper were playing the same day, back-to-back, i'd go.
otherwise, i just don't think this one's for me.

I'm pretty sure most people from Arkansas don't consider it part of the Midwest, but apparently the person who wrote up the copy on the website is among those who think the "Midwest" tag can be applied to anyplace west of the Appalachians and east of the Sierra Nevadas. Or maybe the regionalization stuck with them since Wakarusa used to be in Kansas (barely Midwest).
Uh oh, you touched on a sore spot from my Geography days. In my opinion, the "Midwest" is located within the somewhat boob-shaped area below:

16 hour drive for me, aint happening. But out of curiosity where would you fly into Little Rock?
This is awesome. I live 45 minutes away in Fayetteville!!!!
Favorite band at easiest location!
The closest airport is Fort Smith, Arkansas (FSM)
and Bentonville, Arkansas (XNA)
Fort Smith is probably 30 minutes away, but most of the traffic enters from that direction. XNA is about a little over an hour away, but the drive is nicer with less traffic.
Also, MOST of Arkansas considers itself the "south"
The Fayetteville area is a mix between the south, the midwest, and the ozarks. The ozarks being the preferred choice :-)
welp whos swingin through springtown to pick me up?

Delaware is the armpit because it stinks and is filthy.
Staten Island is America's dingleberry though.
I don't know where I'd put Arkansas, but I do know that adding "Ar" to another state's name doesn't make yours, no matter how poor your spelling is.
Yet to see the Jacket live and I live like 2 maybe 3 hours away. I'm SO going to this show. Ryan Bingham, Mumford and Sons and some others that I'd love to see are playing too. Now if I only knew the dates that MMJ is playing?

Unfortunately, there's still a 12-hour drive to deal with from A-ville.... but I've always wanted to explore the Ozark Mts................. and my friend I'll be living with in A-ville is equally an outdoors enthusiast who shares my love for Thievery Corporation alsooooo and may possibly be talked into making the drive :o
Thyme shall tellith.... how exciting that they're headlining!!!
wood, thievery corp is the lure that may just get me to bite for this show! their set at bonnaroo last summer was an all out dance party.

Ms. Y! TOTAL DANCE PARTY! I've got about the same tolerance as you, I think... Well, the band Wookiefoot is playing there too (and I actually dug those guys when I saw them in 2005, they were super tribal sounding and very un-electro-ish.... which might be why they are the foot of the wookie?) Ok now I'm just confusing things way too much!! ???
ANYWHO! At least your foot won't be wookie'd anymore by then, and I'd love to groove down with ya! 8) Thievery tore me up at Merriweather Post a couple years ago... I was actually there with the same friend I'll be padding with in A-ville! Not only dance party status, but friggin... oh man when you get all the special acts out playing the live instruments and singing and the bellydancing...... I've watched vids of that Roo and am for shame to not have been there... Hope I can talk my partner-in-crime into making the voyage!! 8) 8)

Well I suppose a lazer wookie is a branch of wookie... wookie is a term I usually find is someone not being respectful in one fashion or another... usually all hopped up (not in a good way, generally speaking...) I tend to loan the name to people who either steal, start the lame fights at shows, break open glowsticks and fling the liquid all over everyone standing around them, or (in my book) the littering nitrous balloon wanderers :-X (and pardon me, but I must say I've found myself "lumping in" those who leave their campsites nearly irreparably trashed, generally with glowsticks, beer cans (both burnt and/or crushed), empty balloons, and sometimes needles :-X) Keyword: disrespect :-\
Sorry! DIdn't mean to go off the deep end there! That touched a nerve..... :-[
Here's a good wookie definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wookie (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wookie)
I think we can credit ALady with coining the term "lazer wookie," though it was Ruckus who brought the lazer.

The only thing stopping me from buying my early bird ticket is Roo's line up. I don't wanna deal with Bonnaroo's heat and crowds and all that shit, but I would for another epic 4 hour late night set. Bonnaroo is the following weekend so finacially I won't be able to swing both.Well see I guess.

I can recall that back in 08, even though MMJ was announced early, it was much later that the announcement was amended to be a late night show Dont know that this will happen again though.

I'm not saying MMJ headlining would be less-than-awesome, but I think we can all agree they deserve late night because that's where the real action is - nothing like an open-ended set

I think of lazer wooks as a subset of the wookie culture, the ones that are more into the jamtronica (*shudder*) scene.

Curious about this, NoVa - what happened?
Well, they got to the town, got the rental car and proceeded to the event. They were stopped for maybe 3 or 4 hours on the highway while every car was thoroughly searched by the cops. Once they got in, the VIP experience was a let down. Food was bad when it was available, location of the VIP tent area was not good, water was not provided as was advertised, etc., etc. I think they even complained about the viewing area. In short, nothing went well.
This was maybe 4 years ago, so things may have changed. Actually, the situation with the cops probably got worked out. Or did this event move to a new location a few years ago? Anyhoo, they just had a really bad time and vowed to never go back. :)

i've heard this is a great festival but this is the one there were the lawsuits with years back, i tried to google to find exactly, they set up unlawful search stops, etc--i think since then, it's been okay..

ABSOLUTELY things have changed. It has been really laid back since it moved to Arkansas. People have a great time in the middle of the woods. Honestly, a while back I wanted to throw a festival there and call it "Into The Woods." You will have a great time if you go. The site is beautiful.

This is what I LOVE to read. I was honestly looking at festivals based on environment, over line ups. Waka has been at the top of my list the whole time, as well as summer camp. MMJ was just a sign that I need to go.
You should definitely go!!
It gets hot during the day like any summer festival, but night time is the right time and this place looks amazing AT DAWN... no pun intended. Seriously, you gotta see the sunrise after an awesome night in the Ozarks. It's pure magic.
And seriously. Last year there were actual BEAR sightings at Waka. This place is just perfect for the Jacket.
whether or not if you like electronic music you whom are going must get f'd up, perhaps even roll and go see these does:

they're german as fuck but do some amazing shit with their beats. thom yorke and tons of other world artists have been working with them a lot over the last couple years. "Hello Mom" would be a good album to get a taste of them. never seen them live but that seems like a rare opportunity for such a hype scenario. their beats are faaaaattttt.

Did Wakarusa tickets sell out last year or in past years?
This may be a noob question, but I can't find a straight answer anywheres. I'm gettin' those pre-summer festival spring-time itches, and I don't wanna miss this one bc I waited too long for tickets! mil gracias
I just read that last year it sold out a few days before the festival, so we should be good. I'm ready to buy my ticket as soon as Rothbury gives us any information.
People who have been to Wakaruse and Roo: Is it ungodly hot at Rusa? Do you wake up at 7o clock in the morning soaking wet in your sweat? I'm deciding between the two right now and I'm 75% towards Waka but it's because I hate the heat and crowds at Roo.
So after all the excitment, whos hitting this? I got my volunteer form returned today and was accepted. Hopefully see some of you all on the rail! I'm passing by the roo this year for this, so I hope its worth it!
Ill probably be there as well. It hasnt sold out yet has it?
theres no way it can be. I applied to volunteer yesterday and got accepted today... I have the feeling that means there are a bunch of spots open for whatever you decide to do... I know in the past with roo its weeks before people get accepted to volunteer and usually they get denied. I would doubt that waka even does sell out honestly..
Stage schedule is out. Looks like it's going to be Jacket Friday for an 1 hr 45 min set :-\
http://www.jambase.com/festivals/wakarusa/ (http://www.jambase.com/festivals/wakarusa/)
yeah I saw that.... Its a real bummer that they're the big headliner and they've gotten a shorter set than Ben Harper or Umphs...
At first I took it really harshly, then I realized that they don't have a spot longer than 2 hours at any festival so far. Plus I've spent so many head aches deciding between bonnaroo and waka, buying tickets and selling them, blah blah blah, and I finally decided to volunteer Waka and I payed my deposit and everything. I'm seeing Jacket 5 times between Sunday and August 4th so I'll cope somehow...
And Forecastle keeps teasing us on Facebook and I'm hoping/thinking its possible that Jacket will have a nice little set this summer in Louisville with their new album.
Well, ride just backed out of waka, a shorter jacket set, and J roddy just got added to the Roo....looks like im rooing it up this year.

Anyone got an extra ticket they want to sell? I thought the Jacket would be playing Saturday night and I could just buy a ticket for one day. Now I'm screwed and I have to buy a full weekend pass to see one band on Friday night.

I've only been to Bonnaroo (the 4+ hour MMJ show!) and yes - it's hot as fuck. Granted I am a very hot natured person - it's fucking hot and miserable. The only time I found I could enjoy beer was between like 2-5am...otherwise lots and lots of water.
I always said if I ever went back to B'roo I'd get the VIP tickets cause I can't hang any other way. I'm now considering Wakarusa just for MMJ and trying to prepare for the heat and the hassel. Call me a lazy and spoiled - I'll bitch about it till I'm there and smiling.
I have a Waka early entry parking/camping pass for sale....face plus fees I think about $140....good for entry regular time too, of course.
