More surprises?

Bonnaroo's Twitter has been promising more surprises today.

At first, I thought it would be good PR to notice that more than 50 percent of the talk about the lineup is negative and make another large announcement. Neil Young maybe?

After Alex Young from CoS came on Inforoo and apologized for being wrong about several artists, it appears the site removed all of the artists that were "expected" except those that were not released officially, but had announced themselves that they would be at Bonnaroo 2010. Those bands, and Neil Young, who is the only unlinked artist. My thinking is that after being wrong about the others, they would have at least moved him to rumored unless they have a good reason to believe he will be added later. If he was a late add, or if they're still ironing out details, it could be plausible.

Now their account says "Faithful followers: Momma Nature is kicking NYC's @$ & our internet is down. Today's surprises have sadly been postponed. Sorry!" (posted at about 3:45 p.m.)

All the waiting... sheesh. And it probably won't be anything awesome now. :( If it was an artist addition one would think they'd drop it on Twitter or MySpace or FB like yesterday. That would probably be best for their public relations efforts right now anyway.

Moving ahead, I am trying to go on with life and let whatever happens happen but it's hard to keep focus. I'm going to have fun regardless, I'm sure, and I keep telling myself it can only get better.
