Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
If you're looking for a recommendation based on those restaurants, let me know. I eat those places every week for work. I might just leave my car parked in the parking garage and walk to the SKC after work.
My Nola folks, are there any solid restaurants within walking distance of the Smoothie King center?
Depends on what you consider walking distance. There are a bunch of food places on Poydras. Johnny Sanchez, Juan's flying burrito, Willa Jean's are all right near there. About 3 city blocks away. Within that same distance and near all those are faster/casual dinning such as Company Burger, Reginelli's, Jimmy John's and Walk-Ons.
EDIT: There are more, I was just naming off the top of my head.
Juan's Flying Burrito - Creole taqueria with interesting, but hearty, takes on burritos, tacos, quesadillas, etc. You'll find specials that include crawfish and other local staples. Drinks are fairly strong and delicious. Real chill place. About $10 a meal plus drinks
Johnny Sanchez - More expensive and high-end Mexican food by Aaron Sanchez that also has John Besh's name on it but I doubt he really has anything to do with it. You'll find some items that taste wise will blow Juan's out of the water, but bang for your buck it may not be as worth it. Also relatively chill. About $15 a meal
Willa Jean's - Never been. Heard it is overpriced and meh, but I might be wrong. Probably $15
Company Burger - Straight forward burgers and sides, but one of the best greasy burgers you might ever have. It satisfies you the way a wet fast food burger satisfies you, but you won't feel bad about yourself afterwards. What I mean by that is it's two thin patties with onions and cheese and they have an aioli bar for whatever aioli tickles your fancy. Love this place. Less than $10
Reginelli's - Pizza and Italian chain. Food is solid but nothing to go crazy over. $10-15
Jimmy John's - A sub shop chain, many franchises of which is owned by Drew Brees, in a city known for po boys. Good subs but dumb idea. Less than $10
Walk-Ons - Another Drew Brees venture, but this one is actually worth it (to me). A combination of New Orleans staples and hearty bar food. It has a real sports bar atmosphere with televisions everywhere, but still very and vibrant. About $15
Others not mentioned:
Magasin - Pretty great Vietnamese fusion place. Eat here probably once a week. Small place but food is great. $10-15
Blaze - A customize-your-own pizza type place. You go down the line and add stuff to your pizza. Plenty of food for cheap, and they are always good unless you suck at knowing what you like. $10
Part and Parcel - Good sandwiches but overpriced. $15

Hey friends, and soon-to-be friends. We are making plans for Sunday Brunch, post Radiohead in ATL. I want to encourage any of you attending the show to come and meet other music lovers. Looking back a few years ago, when we did the same thing after Radiohead. I didn't know many of the people who attended but now they are some of my dearest friends and concert buddies. So, don't be shy, only a few of us bite.
Brunch will be at themidwaypub.com/index.cfm at 11:45am on Sunday, April 2nd. I will make a Facebook event, shoot me a PM and I'll add you.
If you are looking for pals to grab a drink with, before Radiohead, this would be a good event to join, also.

Willa Jean's is really good, but way overpriced. We ate there for someone's lunch and the boss always catches that bill. Blaze is AMAZING. I am not a huge pizza fan, but this place is like Whoa.

this is really convenient given i'm seeing radiohead on monday, but moon shaped pool started to click just now. i've made my disdain for the album apparent since its release, but i also trust radiohead enough to push myself on their records to see if the problem is me or radiohead.
it happened when i listened to the transition from desert island disk > ful stop. when ful stop began building i felt a flutter of something deep in my lizard brain.
Probably not, unfortunately. We'll be coming in learly Saturday evening, and leaving right after the show to check into a hotel in Madison. I'm going to have to work Sunday, so this seems like the best way to make it work for me.

as someone seeing them for my first time in a few weeks at coachella, do i look at the setlist that gets posted tn or no?
No. Let it be a surprise.
I have a friend in line in Miami right now. I'm sending him annoying FB posts since I can't go to ANY of these shows due to work. And I"m jealous of all you guys getting to go.

Festival set lists vary from their own headline shows. They play more upbeat, fan favorites at festivals, and go a bit deeper during their own headline shows.
I hope their Coachella set isn't the same as their OSL set. I loved AMSP but they played 7 of the 10 tracks from it last time and I wanna hear some deep cuts like...
