i'm very excited about this year's lineup!! and i think Lopez is going to make a great MC. for me to be looking forward to at least 12 out of the performing groups is amazing. that's a lot of bang for one's buck!! LOL! and, last but not least, i am beside myself with joy and anticipation to see and hear the fantabulous Gregory Porter again!! yeah!

[Ron Thorne]

Who's this guy Gregory Porter? Is he the one who is getting way too much attention these days? Overexposure.

It's a perfect weekend for me..... so far......LOVE Angelique AND Hugh, ELEW is a monster player this sounds interesting, Poncho and Carter will be nice, never seen Pedrito...... sounds like a nice weekend in the sun! to top it off, Chelsea is MUCH better, and by then, probably 100% or at least 95% recovered!

This might be a plan!
