That's quite a reading list, hce. +1
Thanks, man. They really are all incredible books that I would recommend to anyone. But in four weeks I'm prepared to just leave that all at home and fill my mind with lots and lots of fuzz

Finnegan's Wake is so unreadable
Welcome!
It really is pretty much an unreadable novel. I don't pretend to know that much about it, but I like the whole idea of what he was trying to do with it.

Hello,
Just bought my ticket yesterday after I told myself 2 years ago that I would never attend another Bonnaroo. I pretty much thought that the festival had sold out to larger acts like Metallica and Kanye West and were going away from the traditional festival headliners. I also live less than an hour away from Rothbury. I've held out long enough to see that Phish will not be playing Rothbury this year so hence I'm making at least one last trip down to Coffee County to fry in the cow pasture. I'm really stoked and glad to see that so many others are as well.
Name: Chris
What my user name represents/means: Love the band Phish and love to be "gone fishing" at several beautiful rivers scattered throughout Michigan.
From: Grand Rapids, MI
Favorite Bands: Phish, CSNY, Micheal Franti and Spearhead, Drive by Truckers, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Blind Melon, That 1 Guy, Thievery Corporation, Bob Marley, and many many more
My All-Time Favorite Artist: The Beatles
Favorite Books: Lord of the Rings Series
Favorite Movies: The Big Lebowski, Dumb and Dumber, Dazed and Confused, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Boondock Saints
Favorite TV shows: Detroit Tigers Baseball
First Concert Attended: 311, 1998 at Pine Knob
Last Concert Attended: Lotus, Intersection, GR
Bonnaroos Attended: Nada. 2005, 2006, 2007
