40th Annual Summerfest

As festival season approaches and as I dust off my tangerine speedo, I begin to think of the many bands that will grace our presence this summer. I ask myself, How many 90's rock bands will be here to bring me back to the glory days of middle school? A time where my parents seemed to think that big glasses were in and that the comb-over never went out of style. Why couldn't they just let me where over-sized Jynco's and Mossimo shirts? Then I would have been totally sweet. Here is a list of bands that I look forward to most:
Jack's Mannequin 6/28
Fuel 6/29
O.A.R. 6/29- although they strive too hard to be a jam band and occasionally put you to sleep.
Goo Goo Dolls 6/30
Lifehouse 6/30- probably for only one song
Local H 7/1
Weird Al 7/3 - yes, he is considered 90's rock
Plain White T's 7/4
Less than Jake 7/4
Reel Big Fish 7/4
Dashboard Confessional 7/6
Panic at the Disco 7/7

Looks like I may be spending a lot of money on beer/tunes this summer. The only band I refuse to see is Tool. I'd rather watch elton John bathe George Michael.

Let me know your picks...

Kris,

I am surprised you don't want to see puddle of mud...especially with all those posters you have.

I want to see Panic! at the Disco at the Ampitheater w/ Academy Is and Gym Class Heroes. It's on a Saturday night babay!!! Tickets are on sale this Saturday. If I cant' get them in the red (first) section I'm going to buy them on Ebay. I'd rather go to one concert and have great seats than go to two and have average/lousy ones. I haven't had a good experience at a side stage in five years. They are always terrible. The sets are short, I can't see, the crowd is annoying...

Let me know if you want to see Panic with me. However, I don't have the money to buy everyone's tickets all at once, so let me know what we should work out.
