Indeed it is! Can't wait!

So I just went back and started at the beginning of this thread... I have to think Pete/Dave (or at least their minions) lurk around the boards. Dylan's first post had MMJ as the band he wanted to be added most and I saw several others suggest the same thing. Well we got them this year. Phish was another popular request, and boom. Santana came up in the first two years, and even though it was one of the most disappointing sets of last year, he was on the bill. The most popular trend seems to be Neil Young, and the let down from L1's cancelation is still holding strong... Maybe next year???

[ardt64]

Question? I know the answer is somewhere here in the board, but I cannot find it. Is the camping area much further from main stage than at Bonnaroo? We are usually in pod 7, which is about a 10 min walk.
