Hey Kev! Bonnaroo is awesome. I've been 4 times.! Of course as you know I'm NOT in a chair. But the terrain is mostly grass...it's basically a 700 sq ft field. They have raised platforms for people in chairs...one upfront and one in the middle of the crowd area.

I wanted Brad to go this year but with my new job it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. BUT I believe you could do it. For the most part the ground is flat. Not "even" but flat. I'm sure after 4 days of being in the sun and pushin your ass around it's gonna be exhausting.

DO IT!

You lucky bastard. Who's playing this year, have they released the line-up?

[Izziwhizzi]

Bruce is doing Bonnaroo this year - then he comes over the pond to do Hard Rock in Hyde Park (right in the middle of London) at the end of June. Tickets for that are released tomorrow, but I got pre-release today

£45 a ticket plus carer for free is a good deal

Thanks Kev!
I'm excited to see some local bands (in my neighborhood) on the list! Dear and the Headlights is a local Phoenix band and I recommend them highly. And I saw Turbonegro!!!!!!! They are not from Phoenix, but are awesome all the same. And when did the Brian Jonestown Massacre get back together? Didn't they break up or am I just imagining things? How much money anyone want to bet that Amy Wino is a no show?

Those are some awesome artist man I hope you make it there, I never been to Bonnaroo so I can't help you much, I did go to some other music festivals thought and those were pretty awesome, I ended up finding a nice spot for chairs, that you could see well but that wasn't way to close to the stage. I'd also suggest being there really early, makes it easier to find a nice spot.

Anyway, good luck
