Hi JD! Wow, what an awesome line-up; and great price! Too bad we're so far away. Lived in Lansing, MI, for a few years & they had a great music festival every August.
Totally off-topic but it was nice to see the 'Save Reunion' site in your link list. ;)
And, um, I'm hoping you're the kind of person who wants to know if they have mistakes so they can correct them? (I certainly am.) Lovehammers is all one word. [/RockStar fanatic & mmmMarty fan!]
Ready for another 2-hour Idol show? ;)
Thanks for pointing out the error. That's actually not MY error per se, because I sort of copied and pasted the list from the Beale Street site, but thanks for proofreading it for me! :)
Truthfully, I don't know if I'm ready for another 2 hour Idol. Don't get me wrong; I love Idol. But with EVERY show now seemingly constantly being two hours, it's getting a bit excruciating. Even Simon complained about it in his interview with Howard Stern. (Think of it from his perspective, because he has to sit through a 2 hour dress run-through prior to the start of the actual show!) 2 hours is just a bit long, and the commercials take up too much time, and if I wanted to watch a feature length movie 2 hours would be ok, but not for a TV show. To me, it's becoming too much of a good thing.
Cake! Gomez! Yellowcard! Soooo good!!
DAMN! I wish I could go!!!
JD whats the name of that concert/festival that started a few years ago around Nashville, I think it's in like June or July? Is that Bonnaroo or am I thinking of something else?
It's Bonnaroo. I've posted about it a few times, so check back through the archives. I was at the first one!
