It started in 1974 as a GratefulDead news letter and now covers Jam bands, Classic Rock and Indie bands. Plenty of great stuff to go around for everyone.

Bonnaroo Music FestivalBonnaroo
Summer Camp was sick for two reason 3 nights of moe. and 3 nights of Umphrey's...Couldn't ask for anything better.
6 new moe. Songs!!! and since Dweezil Zappa plays Zappa was on during moe., moe. plays a Frank Zappa song which then Dweezil Zappa and the rest of his band came out on stage to help play and finish the song while moe. left the stage!
Highlights for Camp were definitely 30db (Brendan Bayliss & Jeff Austin), ALO, Keller, Railroad Earth, Hot Buttered Rum, Yonder Mountain String Band and special appearances from Danny Barnes!

Crawfish Fest...
Well think about it. Yes the Crawfish was delicious! Oh yeah and how could I forget about the Alligator sausage yum!!
Highlights!!!
Galactic, Railroad Earth, Taj Mahal, Buzz Universe and The Iguana's
Bonnaroo
Well Bonnaroo gave a whole new meaning when we arrived to Tennasee. I think it has to be the way its pronounced down there. Its got a very southern country accent to it. When we arrived to Roo there were crazy thunderstorms but the big party was the prebonnaroo party in the wal-mart parking lot!!
At Bonnaroo, on Thursday I sold the most subscription for relix so I was awarded the "THAT PASS" on Friday, which was a backstage pass. I saw, from the back stage, Umphrey's Mcgee, Daryl Hall & Chromeo, Kid Cudi, and Galactic from the side stages which was awesome!
I got Umphrey's and Medeski, Martin & Wood to sign my Sick Bonnaroo Poster!
Oh! Yeah!! How could I forget!!! Kid Cudi is found with Liquid Cocaine Thursday...plays Roo Friday, goes back to NY Sat. and gets arrested!! Way To Go Cudi!!!!
In the Campgrounds there might have been one of the better bands there called Goose Pimp Orchestra from MA. So sick...they played the most sets at Roo.goosepimp.net
Highlights go out to
Jay-Z, Umphrey's Mcgee, Daryl Hall & Chromeo, John Butler Trio, and The Dead Weather (Jack White on drums).
-It was sick to see Danny Barnes play with Dave Matthew's Band (DAVE RAVE!)
-"This is the best week of my life. I can't wait to tell my momma that Stevie Wonder stuck around for my set," Said Jay-Z as Mr. Wonder came out on stage with a keytar...so sick!!
