I have been a 'guest' lurker for years and finally decided to participate in the forum. I am looking forward to being back on the farm after a couple of years. I am coming with a buddy of mine from Oklahoma and we are planning on getting there early on Thursday and schlepping our gear to tent only, so I hope to meet a lot of you there! This will be my 11th music festival; I've been hooked since seeing Radiohead's epic set in 2006 and I can't wait to see them again on the farm!

Hey guys. I'm definitely not a lurker anymore, but I realized I've never done one of these. I lurked from 09-10 but finally joined in 2010 and have been pretty active since then. I owe this board a lot as it helped me prepare for my first roo in 09, and I wish I would have started posting back then! I look forward to going to my first brunch this year and meeting all the members I haven't met yet.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
