Summer Fests
 

Summer is almost here and I REALLY can't wait for the summer festivals. Especially Ten Thousand Lakes fest. Anyone making plans for other festivals this summer?

Re: Summer Fests
 

I can't wait for tulip time festival in may.

Rock the Bells in July.

When I think of festivals, I think of lots of acid, girls with long skirts and dreadlocked guys with courdoroys, sandals and hemp neckalces dancing in circles. I don't think Rock the Bells falls into that category but I don't care because it's going to be [censored] amazing

That's what I think of too, but I know there are LOTS of other festivals not like this (ie Xfest in MN). Really wish I could go to Bonaroo. The lineup is killer, but it's too far away and too expensive for this summer. Maybe next year... 10klf will more than make up for it though...

That's right... is it a camping fest? I thought it was more State Fair esque as opposed to the camping drug filled festivals I'm used to.

Sweet Jesus I miss those days... Does The Big Wu still have their Family Reunion? It's been years since I've been, and the last I saw them in Appleton WI they were losing members.

I think the reunion is cancelled, well at least delayed. Jason (the guitarist who left) joined a KILLER band God Johnson and the Wu is still touring. If you haven't heard them search on Myspace. I see them on a weekly basis and the show is incredible.

Re: Summer Fests
 

I'm looking forward to Bonnaroo this year! Dirty hippies everywhere, it's f'ing great!

Re: Summer Fests
 

Guys, keep these hippy fest locations comming, project guids needs more targets.

Yeah, if I actually lived in Milwaukee I'd probably give it a whirl. No excuses BradleyT.

It's like your local Oktoberfest... Who misses those? Not me, no sir.

Where is this, Sounds like it should be in Minnesota, but I have never heard of it before?

Re: Summer Fests
 

Ten Thousand Lakes Festival

I mean look at this lineup. IMO WAY better than bonaroo w/ about 40-50k people. It's in the Detroit Lakes area (2-3 hrs North of Minneapolis) in MN. This is one of the biggest jam festivals out right now.
