Hey everyone! I intended to start posting after I joined in January, but instead dropped the obligatory post in this thread and simply continued to lurk, so let's give this another go:
Name: Kevin What my user name represents/means: Any South Park fans around here? From: New Hampshire originally, but currently residing in Charlotte, NC (by way of San Francisco), which led to my attending Bonnaroo for the past 2 years. Favorite Bands: This is always the hardest question, as I try to be eclectic. I used to sway more Hard Rock / Metal, but have recently hit the Top 40 / Electronic sauce pretty hard. My All-Time Favorite Artist: Disturbed Favorite Books: Anything Stephen King, the Harry Potter series, 1984, Brave New World, Hitchhiker's Guide, 2001:ASO, etc etc etc Favorite Movies: Donnie Darko, Memento, Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy, Judd Apatow comedies, any book adaptation from my tastes (I am not a purist) Favorite TV shows: Too numerous, but mostly comedies (animated like Rick & Morty, South Park, BoJack, Futurama, etc, or sitcoms like Parks & Rec, HIMYM, etc), plus GoT First Concert Attended: Slipknot / Mudvayne / Linkin Park / Disturbed, circa 2001 after graduating from 8th grade, at the old Singer Park in Manchester, NH, which was shut down due to noise / foul language complaints from the surrounding neighborhood. Last Concert Attended: Voodoo Fest in New Orleans last month. Bonnaroos Attended: 2016, 2017, 2018 regardless of lineup
Bonnaroo Wishlist: Used to be Tom Petty (RIP), now probably Jay Z or OutKast. (I saw someone else put Cake in this category, which would be phenomenal as well, if only for that bass guitar.)
