i might be up for this. i have to go the O's game with my grandfather friday night but i should be out of there in time to head over to fed hill and catch a show.

his solo stuff at nugroove was pretty cool and i'm sure this will rock. i've been wanting to check them out at the jazz cafe

The duet version of TH was rockin'! I had a blast at NuGroove and am really looking forward to this year. I hope they announce the lineup soon. Late July...be there! [also hope there's fire and water, with earth and sky you got the four essential elements for an ideal outdoor festival ]. They're active on MySpace, but the main website is dusty (static, one pager w/link to MySpace ).

TIML: CU there if you go. If you need a ticket, let me know ahead. Surely some Duolians will be there, likely many. And I know how B'more is on a weekend (liver olympics decathalon)! Don't forget the Maker's.

yea, i've been anticipated this announcement, each time i think they're announcing something, it's just another announcement saying the announcement is coming soon, hah. really know how to keep people excited. if it's anything like last year, within the same price range, i'll be very, very happy.

i'm curious why they left echo lake. supposedly it's not because of the size, but for another very good reason.

[Phrazz]

I'm pretty sure it's exactly because of the size. They plan on making it a lot bigger (2x or 3x the size) and that dusty sandy area where the main stage was would have been a mess with a larger crowd (the dust kicks up when people dance, this destroys lights, soundboards, etc). Lights were also a factor last year and this was also due to the structural limitations (beams). But the bonfires were key so let's hope they do that again. Supposed to be the same place where Camp Bisco is held? Still wondering who's going to play. Let's hope BAM gets the nod. ;-}

yeah, if you could get me a ticket when you order yours that would most certainly ensure my showing up!
