I've sent in my application to the Real World. So I'm hoping to hear back from that. I'm putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I'm also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like... like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, "hey, what's up guys? Want some crack?"

Besides (some of) the initial artists and the cafe bands, all we've really gotten is confirmations...no announcements! Either they just don't care or they've botched this year horribly!

I say make real announcements or no announcements. I mean seriously I'm satisfied with the fest already the way it is. Why don't they just get it over with and stop telling us there's more announcements coming soon and just post all the activities and stuff with the schedule! If they don't have anyone interesting to announce they should just finalize the lineup already!!!!

I thought Ashley Capps said we would have weekly "exciting" announcements. These hardly amount to exciting, most of them are more like reminders. This leaves one of two possiblities:
1. They screwed up this year big time. This isn't to say that they don't have good artists or activites, just the manner in which they went about announcing everything (from all the way back in January, until now) has been terrible.
2. They have something really really awesome in store for us, and we will all be smiting ourselves for ever questioning the gods at AC/Superfly
I really hope it's door number two, but the way things have gone this year, I'm thinking they are just mismanaging things.

I am happy with things the way they are - just tired of the wondering - I really think door number one is the right answer but only time will tell

You might be setting yourself up for a big letdown....but I hope not. I'm still hoping they have an ace up their sleeve.
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."
I still think there's one more artist announcement, but I don't get why everyone gets all bent out of shape... they do this EVERY YEAR with announcing piddly things. For newbies it's exciting, for veterans it's yawnable. But it happens every year.
I think they announced more acts in the first announcement this year than in most years. That was probably their worst gaffe so far (and probably only happened because they had to hold the lineup for the Police announcement; so it's probably not even a new policy).
i think their load has been blown, and we're done with any more big announcements.
fortunately for me, i am not currently involved in a monogamous relationship with bonnaroo, and am free to date other festivals, who are currently dropping big additions and releasing lineups ;D
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

True that. I really think that's what went down. It released by accident so that's a definate possiblity.
The fountain's permanent, you can see it on Google maps fercrissakes.
All those complaining about the lack of announcements will have forgotten all about it in a few weeks. I defy anyone to post on 6/19 "Wow that was an awesome Roo. Wheeee! I just wish they'd told me about xxxxx a couple of weeks earlier".
I really kind of hope there won't be another major band announcement. I am preparing myself for major conflict/heartbreak when the schedules are posted!

unless thursday has more bands....i bet we get no more big additions...gift of gab, mr. lif, but thats it!!!! so don;t get your hopes up...start planning on tough schedule decisions!!!
Up until now I have held out hope for another big name (we all have our wish lists), but with only five weeks to go, they'd be making a big mistake to their patrons if they announce something big any later than tomorrow. I mean, seriously, who can afford to pay the cost of the tickets AND fully prepare (tents, gas, vehicle, etc.) for Roo in less than five weeks? It's sh*t or get off the pot time if they want to sell one last mass of tickets. Superfly, are you reading this???

I've been keeping quiet on some thoughts I have on this, so I'll spill them here.
I think they're just simply changing their marketing strategy. I don't have any kind of rock solid numbers to back me up here, but I'm sure they unload a massive amount of tickets in May. May is also the month when people are either pushed over the edge or decide to sit out.
Maybe they're just waiting until May to flaunt all of their artist announcements.
Weak theory, but at this point its the only explanation I can think of. I still haven't lost any hope in them dropping some big names. I think they just want to wait until May to build the hype going into the festival.
Again. If they don't add The Mars Volta I will kidnap Sting and hold him for ransom.
