So whatever happened of the wristband issue? Was there a controversy this year?

 

[IcSyU]

I have a freaking exam Friday of VEISHEA week...wtf professor!?! :skeptical:

 

[gocubs2118]

Hopefully it doesn't snow like last year.

 

[bigcyfan82]

the ticket you got for the concert will be exchanged for a wristband at the concert

 

[jaretac]

Hopefully it doesn't snow like last year.

I'm glad, they moved it ahead two weeks.

I'm actually most excited for the band Red. They just released a new cd you can check out a lot of the songs here if you are not familiar with them.

They are a christian hard rock band and there are quite a few good songs on the new cd. One of the songs is a cover to duran duran's "Ordinary World."

I think I'm also looking forward to Red the most out of all of them. I saw them a few years ago and they put on a pretty good show. Overall, the music offering seems to be improved over last year, but that may just be because it fits my style a little more...

Should be a good weekend. Hope we have good weather (I'm really looking for something on par with 2007 if at all possible).

I love RED, the new cd is great, everybody who enjoys rock will enjoy the concert....i was really suprised when i found out they were Christian Rock, they have a good mix of hard and soft

Yea I had that too, but considering when anything fun actually starts on Friday, I'd rather have that than the Monday after.
