You may as well move NIN and Snoop up to the must-see list.

Ha. We'll see. At least there's no Kanye, right?

Not only is there no Kanye, I found this:

Phish will play two shows - a full two-set performance as well as an additional late-evening set - at the 2009 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

The good news is that a two-set performance will probably go down on Sunday night to close out the main stage, with the late-night either on the main stage or the smaller stage.

What rules about that is that it'll let me get out of dodge earlier on Sunday (we usually leave mid-afternoon on Sunday) *and* it'll reduce the possible late-night conflicts that I inevitably have every year.

I can already smell a conflict with Oakenfold, I'm just not sure who it'll be. He'll probably spin into sunrise, though, so I doubt that it'll be much of a problem.

I can sleep through the Springsteen set (I'm thinking Saturday night) in preparation for the Saturday late-night shows.

Man ... This is going to be my third Bonnaroo and I'm more excited about it than I have been about the previous two.

Can I go with you guys? Or do you and the Mrs. usually roll solo?

chris462 February 3 2009, 19:52:56 UTC

We're going VIP, if that matters. VIP tickets are only sold in pair.

We're still working out the logistics, obviously. I already have our campsite planned out (thanks to the BSA and two previous trips to 'Roo), too!

I'll let you know what's up as soon as I know something, but I don't see why it would be a problem.

VIP...that's sweet!

Fuck Kanye.

skate_or_die82 February 4 2009, 08:49:03 UTC

srsly

chris462 February 5 2009, 04:45:16 UTC

Were you there?

I was.

Fuck that guy.

kizoku February 5 2009, 14:02:05 UTC

I was in the front pit. I'm still bitter.
