Seeing the Stones and then flying out the next day to Roo to see Paul McCartney was an incredibly unreal experience. I'll travel for a Sticky Fingers set!

I had a pretty amazing weekend in Ohio back in 2012 where I caught Paul McCartney in Cincy on Thursday, stayed at a nice B&B that night then drove up near Dayton to see Bob Dylan on Friday. I spent the rest of the weekend camping at the track and watching sports car racing at the MidOhio course north of Columbus. My first Paul McCartney show was similarly surreal because it was at Coachella in 2009. It was Day 1, my first time at the festival and my schedule ended up going Franz Ferdinand -> Leonard Cohen -> Morrissey -> Paul McCartney. As for the Stones I saw them twice on Bigger Bang. 2005 indoors in Columbus with Beck opening and then again outside at Churchill Downs in Louisville 2006 with Alice Cooper opening. Surprising how different the two shows were (being part of the same world tour) but both were really incredible experiences!

That does sound like an awesome weekend. Have you ever been to Eldora Speedway? It's on my bucket list.
I'm really going to get screwed on this Prince thing. The person I was supposed to go with is now unable to go. Well the tickets were bought with their card. And it's an event where I guess to get access you have to show your card at the door. I called to see if there was any way I could just get in with the confirmation email but they said that the person who's card was used must be present with the card and their ID. What a fucking nightmare.

Depending on how well you know/trust this person, I'd suggest switching debit/credit cards with them so you can go to the show. Depending on each of your financial situations, you could agree to just get gas/food on the card and pay each other back afterwards, or you can each withdraw money ahead of time and just spend in cash until you get back from Louisville.

Haven't been to eldora but more into road courses than ovals so not sure if that one would be my thing. I have done rolex 24 at Daytona twice though and had great visits on both occasions.

I just think they're extremely over-rated posers that are doing a terrible job of hiding what they're stealing from. But really the only thing I find offensive is when people label their music as psychedelic.
Why the foxygen hate? I'm passingly familiar, but dont find them offensive or anything
foxygen is a seriously hot fucking mess. they played a show here probably 2 years ago.... they were just in the middle of their first song, the sam france was doing his over the top idiotic stage moves, fell, hit the front barrier, laid there for 20 minutes, and was taken off on a stretcher because he broke his leg. the crowd got to see half a song and didn't get a refund. and I've read about so much inner-turmoil within that band - they just need to go away and get their shit together.

I REALLY don't think that is a "Foxygen" farewell tour. It is a "Star Power" farewell tour. I will be at the St. Louis show.
Right, I saw all those blog posts too, but I also saw the actual Foxygen tweets as they came out and see all their regular weird late night tweets (half of which they delete) since I work 3rd shift.
I got the feeling it is just closing the book on touring for the most recent album and the strange Star Power thing (the press release for that album said that Foxygen had "joined the band Star Power") and doing so in their own Foxygen way. They like to be vague. I would put money on it that we have a new France/Rado release as Foxygen by the end of 2016.
*Edit*
In fact, the first tweet of the series specifically said "Star Power Farewell Tour"
Nothing would surprise me with these guys I guess, but I think this is mostly just to drum up some press.
I swear to god, I'm on the verge of losing it, I will either have to go to Tennessee the day before Roo or Atlanta a couple days after Roo because the Orlando date is during fucking bonnaroo. This is bullshit, I'm fucking livid. I am sure it will be cool to see them on Wednesday and then drive down and meet my friends at roo but I really don't wanna pay for all that gas by myself. I pray that I can somehow talk at least one friend into joining me, a lot will depend on the price of the tickets
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.
