For me this is the worst possible conflict. Most of the mock schedules seem to have this conflict. I really hope they do not do this to us.
i will go ahead and vote vote first. I will go with the Jim James super jam because i love preservation hall and I think I wold have more fun at the super jam. But that's just me. I really want to see Björk though too

Superjam since Bjork is at P4k. Otherwise this would be a paralyzing conflict for me. Still really hoping they don't conflict, or at least hoping the overlap between the two sets is minimal.
Bjork is a special type of madness I will partake of that Kool-Aide OH YEAH! I am sure the Superjam will be fire to so here is to hoping for a win win scenario for Lono maybe Sound City Players during Macca? One can definitely dream can they not?

Jim James Superjam. Only going to happen once. I'm biased as I'm a big JJ fan and not familiar with Bjork but I am in the camp of "once in a lifetime show .vs. rare but possibly able to see again show".
This is one of the reasons I will place Bjork so high on my list her stage antics are legendary what other performer has harnessed the crackle of "lightning" on stage as an instrument. If you watch the video she has a Tesla Coil hooked up to play music. The voltage is being varied by keys on a synthesizer to make it more powerful etc. on the machine in the background. I have never seen anyone do that. And I have seen a lot that is where I must go in my heart when making a descion plus it is Bjork she might show up in a Swan Dress or something not to mention all of the cool freaks that will be at that show.

I'm curious as to how crowded that Superjam will be. Like...I know Jim and MMJ are big at Roo but I feel like I can't get an idea of how many people will make it a priority. I guess that'll be easier to figure out once the schedule comes out.

Yes, I think it will be a very schedule dependent show especially since Jim James is playing a solo show as well. Many will probably move his solo set to an either/or system and go to the one with the less painful conflict.
Having seen Bjork before and Jim James playing R&B/soul music with MMJ this is a really tough conflict. I may have to split time up between the two if this happens. Although I do live in an area where Bjork will likely play again (NYC), it isn't a give in she will play again here with her current set-up. Plus as much as I do like her, shelling out $80-$100 to see her is a route I rather avoid. Maybe I am too spoiled getting the most bang for my buck by going to festivals and less willing to plop a lot of money to see one show.

This is an easy one for me-Jim's Superjam is my #1 show and his solo set is probably in the top 3, so I would pick Jim. With that being said, I will admit that I do want to see Bjork, so am hoping this is not a choice that has to be made.
Definitely Superjam for me. I'll catch Bjork if she doesn't conflict just for the spectacle, but if it's a choice, the Superjam is my #1 must see among the non-headliners. I missed the epic 2008 MMJ show for that Superjam and vowed never to let MMJ conflict for me again. Missing that show is still my biggest Bonnaroo regret.
It's an easy choice for me to see Bjork but she's gonna win out over anyone except Paul McCartney and that one can't happen since headliners perform unopposed.
