Thanks for the welcome. I figure I got so much out of reading this board before last year that maybe I can give something back this year. Anyway, it's good to be here.

So I wasn't really a lurker last year but I wasn't a super duper active poster either... so I think I'll go ahead and introduce myself on here!
Name: Danielle
Username: I like The Beatles. Who doesn't? I kinda use herecomesthesun for everything because I'm lazy and I don't want to remember lots of confusing usernames.
From: Nashville but living in Missouri for college
Favorite Artists: The Beatles, The Eagles, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, Snow Patrol, The Postal Service, Jump Little Children, Fiest, Imogen Heap, Kate Nash, Jenny Owens Young, Journey, Jack Johnson, lots more. I'm not picky or elitist. I just like music.
All time favorite artist: My favorite music is usually the homespun, spontaneous kind. Where I'm from, we like bluegrass in the backyard.
Favorite Movies: Almost Famous, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Shopgirl, American Beauty, Knocked Up, Mulan
Favorite Book: The Time Traveler's Wife. I've given away four beloved copies... its the gospel.
Favorite TV Shows: I love reality TV, not gonna lie. Project Runway is awesome. Besides that, I'm a big fan of Grey's and its spinoff Private Practice. I've developed a recent affection for Arrested Development... meaning, I watched it last night with an "open mind" and I liked it a lot.
First concert: NSYNC. It was great.
Last concert: A little local show downtown. As far as big ones, Ben Folds and Weezer, which was so fun.
Roos: 2007
Wish list: I love the lineup, but I'd love it more if we got some more folksy girl singers and maybe some reggae?
Favorite Book: The Time Traveler's Wife. I've given away four beloved copies... its the gospel.
That is a great book. I'm not sure how I feel about the casting for the movie but the book was great.
I'm not thrilled about the casting either. Eric Bana works for me alright, though I had in mind more of a Jim Caviezel (sp?) or Daniel Day Lewis. I don't like Rachel McAdams as Clare because she's too famous. Its snotty of me, but I don't want the beautiful, special story turned into another cliche movie like The Notebook. But I have hope for the writer and director, based on their previous work. At least it will be entertaining, and then us TTW snobs can say loudly while leaving the theater, "It just doesn't even compare to the book."

That is a great book. I'm not sure how I feel about the casting for the movie but the book was great.
I'm not thrilled about the casting either. Eric Bana works for me alright, though I had in mind more of a Jim Caviezel (sp?) or Daniel Day Lewis. I don't like Rachel McAdams as Clare because she's too famous. Its snotty of me, but I don't want the beautiful, special story turned into another cliche movie like The Notebook. But I have hope for the writer and director, based on their previous work. At least it will be entertaining, and then us TTW snobs can say loudly while leaving the theater, "It just doesn't even compare to the book."
I pictured Billy Cudrup and Amy Adams myself. I'm sure that they movie will be great and not nearly as good as the book!
I'd love to see him added to 'Roo. How was the show?
Colin puts on a good show! He has a great sense of humor and engages the audience throughout the performance. His wife is onstage with the band and sings back up vocals on a few songs. She also dances around rather wildly, which I found distracted from the rest of the show, but it wasn't bad. It would be great to see him at 'Roo!
I am a Florida girl that loves camping and concerts and traveling, so this seems like a wonderful weekend waiting to happen.
