I'm feeling so "juicy" right now, and I am thinking to myself, "hey... I'm in my Bonnaroo mood!" This Bonnaroo will be my first. I was really planning on going last year, but a few days before I was going to buy my Bonnaroo tickets, pearl Jam announced that they were headlining Lollapalooza. And for me, pearl jam takes precedence over ANY band. Seeing Eddie Vedder and Ben Harper on the stage together... awe-inspiring. But yeah I guess I just wanted to introduce myself and say how incredibly stoked I am about going to Bonnaroo this year! I've been lurking on this forum for quite a while now. Pearl Jam is the greatest band of all time, and I can't wait to see you guys with them in June!!! -Joey
Welcome fellow PJ fan. I went to Lolla for one day to see Pearl Jam and Modest Mouse (sucked having to choose between them and MMJ) and have also been to the past 3 Roos. I didn't really like the setup in Grant Park for Lolla. It's much better camping at the festival rather than having to get a hotel. Also, since it is not in the middle of a big city the music can go all night at Roo.

Ha, it's funny you mentioned trying to decide between Modest Mouse and Pearl Jam that day. We were hurtfully torn that morning too. Then we went to the interactive/comedy stage and ended up winning two VIP passes by singing "Alive" karaoke. So we were close for both shows and got free booze ;D. Lollapalooza was so much fun last year. I actually found a campground just outside of Chicago, only a thirty minute metra ride away from Grant Park. Our neighbors and us would build fires at night a talk about the shows, or play guitar. But I can't wait to jam all night at Bonnaroo with thousands of campers.
It was sunny and 65 today in Pittsburgh!!! I am already getting excited about the ROO!!! Got the new Corwes album and went for a drive with the windows down to celebrate. I am in such a better mood today than yesterday. ALL SMILES HERE!!!!

Heck yeah man, I love the Pittsburgh area. I have a bunch of friends in Indiana, PA that I visit all the time. Dude I am so there with you, I love that I just bought a new album feeling. It's funny because I always cruise with the windows down too in celebration. Keep the smiles rolling man, can't wait to party with you at Bonnaroo!

There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard. No song that I could sing. But I can try for your heart Our dreams, and they are made out of real things Like a, shoebox of photographs With sepiatone loving Love is the answer
A little feeling in my gut that I get of late when I think about these cats running the world with hate

I am so ready to see the schedule! I know I will probably have to make some tough decisions on which stage to go to but maybe it will all be planned out just right. Its impossible to see everyone you want, but I am so gonna try
