That's why you spend the $25 on the Bourbon Lodge pass - although I'm not sure whether or not they are still selling them. Gets you into the air-conditioned Bourbon Lodge tent without having to have a drink ticket in hand.

 

Best I can tell, I'll have access to that.

Jim Schue's a straight-up sucker for great pop songs with fantastic hooks.

I'm admittedly kind of geeked out for the Band Of Horses set.

Yeah. Especially "Laredo." That guitar lick is pure bliss, kinda like the one in "Champagne Supernova," a big Gametime favorite.

Speaking of the Pop Music Masterpiece …

I regret that I never got to see them live.

Well, it's one week out from the festival. Let's get a roll call …

Saturday for sure. Maybe Friday.

I'll be there all three days, although I can't get there on Friday until sometime after 5:00. I'm DEFINITELY hoping to catch the entirety of the Local Natives set though. My schedule looks something like this:

 

FRIDAY

5:45-7:00 Local Natives Boom Stage

7:45-9:15 Spoon Boom Stage

9:20-11:00 Outkast Mast Stage

I will probably be leaving the Spoon show 15-20 minutes early to attempt to ge a half-decent spot for Outkast.

 

SATURDAY

4:15-5:15 Lord Huron Boom Stage

5:15-6:15 Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings Mast Stage

6:00-7:15 Jason Isbell Boom Stage

7:00-8:30 Band Of Horses Mast Stage

8:00-9:30 Dwight Yoakam Boom Stage

9:30-11:00 Jack White Mast Stage

I'm going to cut out of Sharon Jones a little early to catch the beginning of Jason Isbell's set, but then I'm going to leave Isbell a little early for Band Of Horses (I've never seen BOH, but I've seen Isbell about a dozen times now). I'll head over to Dwight Yoakam a little late after Band Of Horses wrap up.

 

SUNDAY

3:15-4:15 Sharon Van Etten Boom Stage

4:45-5:45 Sun Kil Moon WFPK Port Stage

6:30-7:45 Nickel Creek Boom Stage

7:45-9:00 The Replacements Mast Stage

8:30-10:00 Ray Lamontagne Boom Stage

9:45-11:00 Beck Mast Stage

As much as I want to see Trampled By Turtles, I've been wanting to see Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon for about 15 years now, so I'm gonna go with that show. I'm definitely leaving Nickel Creek early to make sure to get a good spot for The Replacements. Like I'm probably only going to watch half of Nickel Creek's set at most. I'll head over to Ray LaMontagne as soon as The Replacements finish up (much to my wife's chagrin), and then I'll probably stick around until the end of Ray LaMontagne and head over to Beck a little late.

I'm gonna head over to Liquor Barn on Hurstborne tomorrow to pick up my Bourbon Lodge cup and drink tickets ahead of time. I'm gonna pull out my Camelbak tonight and give it a rinse as well, since they have free water fill-ups at the Hydration Stations this weekend. I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to need one....but I think it's a pretty good idea for them to have lockers set up to rent for the weekend.

I'd like to see Outkast, but no way I'm paying $85 to stand on the Great Lawn and watch them.

Friday is almost certainly out for me at this point.

Worth every penny...

Here's what I'm shooting for, but I may not make it out extra-early each day, especially if it's super-humid. I ain't 25 anymore.

 

Friday

Likely won't go til later, but if I go early I'll hit:

Gary Clark Jr.

Local Natives

 

Must: Spoon, OutKast

 

Saturday — big day here, as the can't-miss stuff for me starts at 5

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

Jason Isbell

Band Of Horses (hate that those three overlap like that)

 

I'm torn between Dwight Yoakam and Slint, as I've seen DY before. May split this one.

 

Then it's Jack White

 

Sunday

I hope I've got some reserves left in the tank, as there's a lot of stuff I want to see, starting at 4:15.

 

Brett Dennen

Sun Kil Moon

Jenny Lewis

 

I want to see Nickel Creek, but I may just take a quick nap to get right for The Replacements followed by Beck.

 

You guys will have to holler at me, and I can take a nice picture of your group for you.
