It is sort of a mixture of work/money etc. It is sort of a long story but I was supposed to resign and head to Roo on my way out of the US to start a 2 year round the world trip. That trip has been delayed to October now. So my original plan of "hitching' across the states, via Roo, with my backpack has GONE. If I still wanted to go to Roo I would need to fly (cant really take that time off work now, and dont want to use my leave anyway as I would rather get paid out in October) and it would be all rushed etc.

I'm in Bonnaroo limbo right now. Then again, I wasn't planning on going again (due to being broke) in the first place, so my situation isn't a loss. Someone gets free tickets for their work and they offered to give them to me for free since Bonnaroo wasn't their thing. That was a week ago (even though tickets shipped out the other day). The guy keeps making excuses saying he'll bring them in tomorrow or something like that. I was so thrilled when he first made me that amazing offer. Now I'm worried that I got my hopes up.
Maybe look at it this way. I'd rather be certain about not going than uncertain about going.
Sucks about the trip delay. Hopefully you and I make it there nonetheless.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually I am truly sorry for you guys. I will rock out extra hard at Gogol Bordello in honor of you guys. Start planning for next year!!!!!

Officially not going. But I'm going to make up for it a little bit and see The Wailers, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and The Flaming Lips at City Stages in Birmingham, AL the Sunday of Bonnaroo.
Sorry for all you guys. If you're selling the tix for under face value, it might enable my friend to go which would be awesome. So please PM me if you are! Thanks.
This is a lousy feeling any way you slice it. My engine kicked the bucket on 1-40 Thursday driving back from visiting my parents. After spending all morning in a greasy mechanic's shop in the middle of nowhere in TN, parts and labor, and tow bills, my savings has been wiped and I had to sell my ticket. Lame. Mostly because I've been working on my pile of gear for weeks now. Oh well. With all this gear and time off of work looks like I'll be taking a camping trip this weekend instead.
My sympathies with anyone in this last minute type of situation. And to everyone else who will be attending; I'll be there in spirit. Hope you all have a blast with sigur ros, and I'll see you all at the farm next year.
...I would have called in some favors ;D
