Jesus man, don't cancel Iceland unless you have to! I went there last summer for two weeks and loved every minute of it. I went to ACL a couple years ago and that was cool too but Iceland was simply amazing. Besides, you can maybe catch Sigur Ros or see the caldera where Bjork played a concert on a raft.

Here's how I break it down:
ACL = cheaper
ACL = better food
ACL = better music
ACL = more trees
Iceland = more isolatated
Iceland = more scenic beauty
Iceland = more sheep

shit, it's up to $105 now...this bad boy is gonna sell out pretty quickly

Here's my break-out of where these bands stand for me. I'll be at the festival and I'm already thinking about how to prioritize who to see. I hear more bands will be added later as well. I might need help here, especially with the never heard of/no interest category. If there are any bands on that part of the list that I'd be an idiot to miss, let me know. It's possible I'd love them but just don't know it because I haven't heard them.

I'm going again. I went last year and had a fucking blast. Had one of the best shroom trips of my life on Saturday/night.

andyfest.... I wouldn't sacrifice Bobby Bare Jr. He was one of the best sets I saw all last year at ACL.

yes, but a huge bill from the IRS this year means an austin trip would be easier than an iceland trip

Andy, I wouldn't miss Nine Black Alps and Willy Mason.

What are you going to Chicago for Lollapalooza or Intonation?

yes, but a huge bill from the IRS this year means an austin trip would be easier than an iceland trip[/quote]

Right on. You really can't compare the cost of the two trips. Iceland will cost 10x as much, at least.

Lollapalooza -- you going?

mebbe, my bro and I are talking about meeting up for this.

Can I meet you too?

most certainly
