Taking Crazy Pills
Anybody ever been to bonnaroo? It's a huge music festival the second or third week of June in Tennesee.

I wanted to go 2 years ago when Tom Petty was the headliner.. they always have a great lineup.. haven't released '08's yet..

..but rumors are flying that Led Zepplin and Metallica will be the headliners.

Heres last years lineup to give you guys an idea..

The Police ? Tool ? Widespread Panic ? The White Stripes ? Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals ? Wilco ? The Flaming Lips ? MANU CHAO Radio Bemba Sound System ? The String Cheese Incident ? Franz Ferdinand ? Ornette Coleman ? Bob Weir & Ratdog ? Damien Rice ? Ween ? Gov't Mule ? Ziggy Marley ? The Decemberists ? The Roots ? Kings of Leon

And about 30 more artists..
 
Have not been, but an acquaintance of mine ran a food concession there.

It seems it either gets way too hot and dusty, or way too rainy and muddy.

Doesn't matter what the weather is though, the vendors make plenty of dough. (Plus, as a vendor he got good entry to anything available - in the 0.2 hours when they were not selling mass quantities of food and drink).

I just missed out on going last year, and I'm still pissed that I didn't make it.

Mainly because the White Stripes were playing; but there were other great bands too, including Akron's The Black Keys and Andrew Bird, among the others listed above.

Do you know when the 08 lineup is announced?

That's a ridiculous amount of bands.

If Zeppelin plays, you can count on me going. If they don't play, the only way I'm going is if Tool is added to the second lineup. I bet it would be a great time, though.

4 stages I think with bands playing in tents too, 4 nights?

Zeppelin held a press confrence the other day and said they want to tour but they are going to wait until after Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are done doing their thing. Robert Plant & Krauss are going to be there, I wouldn't be too shcoked if Zeppelin wound up playing Bonnaroo before their tour but I don't think it's likely.
