Voodoo Fest

I'm currently trying to get my shit together and my self organized enough to plan a trip ot New Orleans this fall for Voodoo fest.
It's a 3 day music festival October 24-26 with a ton of music and fun. Not to mention it's in one of my favorite places in the world New Orleans.
The 3 day pass is only $125, which is actualy quite a bargain in light of all the acts scheduled to perform. Among the most notable are:
Stone Temple Pilots, Rev. Horton Heat, Erykah Badu, Joss Stone, NINE INCH NAILS (could Trent get anymore beautiful? Besides being God, I swear he only gets better as he ages!) The Mars Volta, Shudder to Think, Fishbone, Ashes Divide, R.E.M, N.E.R.D, Panic at the Disco, Dashboard Confessionals, Lupe Fiasco, Butthole Surfers, and a tonnn more acts.
I've only ever been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, which was tremendously fun, but I fell in instant and complete love with the city. The history, the food (which was always amazing), the fun and friendly spirit, the no last call (who doesn't love that in a city) I've always wanted to go back and really enjoy all that New Orleans has to offer, and what better time than now?
I have a friend (who travels alot for work) and can get a hotel room for free in the French Quarter. So if that pans out, (and if I can round up enough single friends, or friends who can rearrange their lives enough to make a 3 day get a way) I figure with round trip airfare and spending money, I can take a 3 or 4 day vacation, go visit a city I love and see more live music in a few days than I have in all of my life thus far, for under $500. Plus NIN in New Orleans? That's gotta be worth the trip alone!
