Yea, there was some discussion about them a few pages back when Bacon noticed it. It's that time of the year. Linking to our site wouldn't hurt anything and makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside. It's when these sites/blogs try to pass it off like they've found it out on their own when it's annoying. But oh well.
Festival Snob (Legal name: Festive Owl aka Forever Bonnaroo) is my father and refuses to pay child support. Please encourage him to do the right thing so my mom doesn't have to cry every night in worry over the bills. If he was willing to drop a load in her then he should be willing to drop a much smaller one on some groceries. Thank you.

He made that post just to troll those other festival twitters?
No but I want to take this chance to apologize for my pregnancy story from last year. I realize it was inappropriate as life is precious and I shouldn't use unborn children as props to uncover info for something as silly as a music festival. I changed tactics in accordance with the lessons I learned. This year the story was that my seven month son was dying of rectal trauma but was hanging on 'til mid-June so he could see (insert band here) as he's their biggest fan. I assured the people that if he wasn't able to live that long then fear not for I'd mount what's left on a rage stick and bring him to the bands anyway. Thank you for allowing me to reflect on what's important, community of inforoo.

Nothing is 100%. A few denies and confirms get flipped every year. I used a shotgun approach and sent many inquiries. Due to this I didn’t take much time to see if someone was out due to tour dates or playing the year before. The bands I chose were made for a combination of reasons. At times those reasons disregarded personal taste and knowledge. A few more responses will likely trickle in over the next week. If that’s so I’ll be sure to post what I get.
I asked about bands playing either Bonnaroo or Sasquatch which is why you’ll see both fests referenced. Most queries I send go unanswered. Due to the way I asked things and the generally kind responses (I only posted the pertinent info for y’all) I have no reason to doubt the honesty of the messages I received. But take them any way you want. This’ll be my last year doing this. Its been a good run and I appreciate all the kind words I’ve received for my work.

yea dudes been echoing my page all week. annoying.
I regularly repost and/or retweet info from you all the time but I guess it's different bc the credit is given and I don't run a fan page.
As far as the people over at Forever Bonnaroo they're decent and give credit where it is available. The guy who posts most of the confirmations is named Zach and he is on Inforoo I just don't know his user name. I have no idea who the Festive Owl is but I follow their Facebook page and I do see a lot of reposts from Inforoo/Festival Snob. I definitely just think all these pages are trying to spread good news but in the future I'll ask for sources. Then again, Consequence of Sound pirates from here all the time with no credit given...
