You Gotta Know When to Hold'em....

...... know when to fold'em. The infamous words of one Drew Anderson (I think he stole them from somewhere but I'm not sure so I'll give him credit).  Ok so we all know that Kenny Rogers is The Gambler but is he just countin' his money at the table or does he still have an ace up his sleeve.

Find out at Bonnaroo 2012 as he is the newest addition to the lineup.  The cafe acts have also been added.  Check out all the new additions that were made today at http://www.bonnaroo.com/

Neilaroo's Nibblin's - ALO

Quick, name a song by ELO. Quick, name another.

That second song eluded me for the entire set of ALO when I saw them at Tambaleo (closed in 2007).

ALO has performed with Jack Johnson; they're performing with Galactic in Denver. They are appearing at SXSW (date TBD) and at Nolafunk.

How to describe them? Let's just say I remember a dark bar, couches, weird clips of movies playing behind the band, and "It's a giving thing... what a terrible thing lose" repeating over and over in my head. In other words, I don't recall the band at all.

Only 532 people have added ALO to their Bonnalineup so far (Radiohead has 6600), so I rate this band as "Hidden Gem". Here's a plus: they play instruments.

What are your thoughts on ALO? ALYes or ALNo?

Life is Full of Choices

(Even for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival this summer June 7-10, 2012.)

• You can road trip or fly into Manchester, TN.
• You can camp in a tent or stay at a local hotel.

OR...you can take the Bonnavee!

2012 Coachmen Freelander 32'

• sleeps 8-10
• shower, bathroom, refrigerator, and stereo
  
• kitchen, dinette, sofa, queen bed, 2 bunks, and overhead double bulk bed

Enough from me, why don't you watch a video about a similar 2011 model and let Aaron explain all the features. (Yeah, we are not renting from Aaron!!)

If that wasn't enough here is another video. We are renting the Bonnavee from American Dream Vacations in Irving, TX. The details are as follows:

• Pick up on Tuesday June 5th and drop off June 12th
• I put down the $500 refundable damage deposit and purchased full coverage insurance
• Costs $1767.15 for 1 week rental + $720 in fuel + $191 RV pass + $100 water fill and dump = $2778.15 estimated total
• I have taken reservations for 8 spots (Roberto, Tiffany, Matt, Maria, Davy, Theresa, Gina, and Neil) with $50 deposit from each person. The total will be $347.26 each unless we really want to cram 2 more people into the Bonnavee. This could drop it down to $277.81.

We need to start a shopping list: Hot dogs, beer, gallons of vodka, cracker packs, etc and we can purchase it all at Costco. Pleas post comments with shopping lists or recipes that we should try for the Bonnavee dining experience.

Oh, I almost forgot to add the floor plan,

That's it for now.
