Thanks. Something to think about.

Wow, good stuff. I completely forgot about this, as I've never gone. That's a pretty fair lineup: PBJ, Aimee Mann, TMBG, Yeasayer, Wreckless Eric making it worth it for me. Makes up for the lack of a Popped!, which I also wasn't able to go to last year, to my great disappointment. Last year I was mostly unemployed and missed EVERYTHING, even Radiohead (with Grizzly Bear!), this year I get to go to Bonnaroo, XPN, and (most likely) the sweet as heck Roots Picnic.

[porvida]

Ok. So hotel is booked and just waiting on regular ticket sales.
Steve Wynn. Good lord. I was sold on just that. Now I can mark another name off on the bucket list.

[mattlikesrock]

Check out Good Old War. That whole album is pretty good.

[porvida]

^ I wanna see them but they are playing friday. I can only do Saturday and Sunday.

But you know who I can see?
The motherquackin HOLD STEADY!!!!!

Just added to the line up.

[steveternal]

I can't believe it's taken this long for They Might Be Giants to do a multi-day festival. Here's hoping they pop up elsewhere as well.

^^^ THIS! When they finally did an actual non-festy show, they had the opening spot for DBT's. They have a show scheduled in NJ the night before this. Maybe they have something planned for Philly on Sunday?

Oh, and I'll totally be there.

Cheap! $40 for Saturday & Sunday? How can I miss this.
We almost went last year for Alejandro Escovedo but held out and sure enough he played closer.
But I love Philly. Always have. And my wife hasn't been ... Until next weekend. She'll love it too,I'm sure.
