Ok…so, yeah, I’ve complained a bit about the mainstage lineup this year. But the LOST writers (Cuse, in particular) booking is a major coup. Man that line to get in is gonna be crazy. LOST nerds rejoice!
Hey Bumbershoot…book ‘em in as large of a venue as possible, eh?

I signed up as a Bumberfan in December for the promise of early lineup announcements. I’ve not gotten one – has anyone else?

Yes, I get emails every now and then when they announce more artists. Wish they would post the full lineup!
