...and I just got my youngest packed up to head to Bonnaroo. We let her use the Honda Element because it is the perfect vehicle for camping/parking at this type of event.

In a few hours I'll be taking my older daughter to the airport. She is off to Poland for two weeks to study at the University of Krak

    Probably the coolest music festival on the planet:)
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    People come from all over the world to attend. Kind of has a modern-day Woodstock vibe to it.

    Wow Shack!! Sounds like you're the model father. Here's to a safe journey for your oldest daughter.

    Bonnaroo can't possibly still be underground?

    Well Shack, sounds like you did your most important job correctly, cheers to you!
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    It's an excellent musical festival but the last one I went to had too many folks hanging onto the Greatful Dead theme. Get over it, get a job.

    You can't get anymore Magnum PI than Steve.

    To update...as of this morning both had made it safely to their destinations. Somehow the younger one driving to Bonnaroo seemed to be the one with the greater sense of relief that she arrived safely. She only had to wait 3 hours in traffic to get into the site. Now her mom and I are just hoping she wasn't one of the naked girls in the fountain that was reported in this morning’s newspaper article... (she is a fairly modest young lady so we are probably safe there...).

    The one in Europe left me a copy of her itinerary...these girls have it together! All transportation and lodging throughout Europe is already locked in and paid for. Several tours are already lined up and paid for (ie: Historic Rome tour, bicycling through the gardens of Versailles, Le Louvre, etc..). I for one am a bit envious (except for the hostels....I prefer HOTELS...the more stars the better!).

    Thanks for the well wishes folks. I HAVE been blessed with two really good kids.

    bonnaroo looks pretty kick **** this year... Hope they both have a safe, fun time. I'm hoping to make it to one day of pitchfork festival this year. Went to lollapalooza last year... but this year the ticket prices are stupid expensive. ugh.

    hope they have a blast!
