"official" I'm going to Bonnaroo thread.

I doubt the Arcade Fire will be playing at Bonnaroo. I dont think it would go over well anyway.

And Iron and Wine has been confirmed since they released the first set of artists. Their new EP is very good and I recommend it highly.

I'm looking forward to my first live look at Iron and Wine

Just curious - what makes you say that?

Yeah, I wonder why you think that as well...Arcade Fire would rock anywhere, anytime. Although I saw them in the Dame in Lexington inside, they put on one of the best performances I have ever seen there. They really put alot into their shows and my favorite part was when one of them put on a motorcycle helmet and the keyboardist started banging on the helmet, ultimately he started banging on everything--the walls, the ceiling, my six-pack (beer not abdomen). Besides if you don't enjoy bands rocking-out--Widespread will be there. I am sure that I am going to get some feedback for that last sentence.

They are a decent band, and Funeral wasn't bad either.

I'm just not sure if it would go over well. Again this year is my first year at Bonnaroo.

I guess that doesn't help much.

I would love to go! But I'm from Sweden and I don't know anyone else who's going... It would be king to meet up! If I get the money that is...

MMJ_fanatic · Mar 03, 2005, 04:31 PM

start hitch hiking now ;)

Enrump · Mar 11, 2005, 02:46 AM

I guess I'd better do that...

MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Oh my god. This has been one of the craziest weeks in the craziest years.

I'm going to Bonnaroo. We bought our tickets today. Bonnaroo will happen at the end of a two and a half week road trip through the southern states.

;D

Well, I know for sure that we're going to hit Ohio (which is not the south, but we have to go to a theatre festival there), and then Alabama and Virginia and Kentucky. And we're trying to figure out where we want to hit the ocean - either along the east coast, or south in New Orleans. I think we're going to pick New Orleans.

And I think we might just pick specific dates and specific destinations for those places, and then mess around in the meantime, and see what comes our way as we go. That's the way I like to do it. That way we can stop in any old little town that seems fun.

Oh boy!!!!

Oh this rocks, EC we should get together with our geetars and play some covers. You suppose we might get to meet the guys there?

Heh. They might be a little busy.

But, of COURSE we should get together and jam!! That would be wicked. I'm bringing mahgeetah for sure (ha ha ha - had to, had to :)), so we shall meet, and we shall sing, and we shall play. And it will r.o.c.k.

Yes!!!!!!!!!! Now we're talking. Megan I can't believe I missed your post that said you would make it, but somehow I did. Yes Meg I do play the guitar a bit and I would love to meet up with you all. Let's go people, who's with us? I plan on sleeping in the front row of the stage MMJ will be playing on the next day. I'll hold you all a spot ;D

Yeee HAAAAWWWW!

Brian, do you have a dodge ball? ;D

sweatboard · Mar 22, 2005, 07:59 PM

Yes Meg you are so right, this would be a perfect chance for us to get some practice in. I'll make sure I pack it. If need be I can also play percussion on it while you jam the gettah. Also, you could start working on some lyrics for our theme song if you get a chance.

In the works, honey. Oh my.

tomEisenbraun · Mar 24, 2005, 10:06 PM

we should have a giant Jacket Jam. They're so fan friendly, you gotta hope they'd find time to check us out. Devoted fans from the website trek to Bonnaroo to play em some tunes, I bet you they'd stop by. We have to jam in the campsite at least. I'll bring my slide and plenty of extra strings.
