just read this morning:

August 4 - 6
Over 160 bands
(supposedly) WAY more variety

i haven't heard any names of people who will be playing yet...i'm tempted to get earlybird tix just because i enjoyed being there last year (at least on the day when it wasn't 105 degrees).

anyone thinkin' of going? any wishlists or predictions as to who will/should play?

Does Perry have any involvement in this at all? I can't remember if he sold his interest in it.

Hey, that's around our birthdays, Anx. I'm curious about it but the standing up all day thing is kinda weraing on me.

it's all out in a big field...you can bring a lawn chair and they have all kinds of hanging-out places!

honestly, i'll have to get an idea of who's playing this year...if they start selling tix before they announce bands, the tix had better be cheap if i'm gonna get 'em.

well, he introduced a lot of the bands last year and he posed for the cover of time out chicago regarding lolla, so i'm guessing he's still attached to it at least as a mascot or something.

This IS right over my birthday!

Course, if I'm going to Seattle the weekend before it may not be financially possible....

Keep me posted as you start to hear rumors for the line-up!

PS- I know they are signed on to one festival already, but if Radiohead signs on, I will be there. Screw financial responsibility.

they were gonna play millenium park this summer, but the idea was nixed because the chicago symphony orchestra needed the space for a REHEARSAL.
