Also of note, Nada Surf appears to have moved to the Sasquatch stage.
Wonder if the change away from the Wookie name has anything to do with not being able to use the word because its owned by George Lucas or something.

That's the general consensus the rest of the board has come to anyway.

So with Nada Surf moving to the Sasquatch stage I wonder if they are adding another band to the Bigfoot Stage or if The Hold Steady and Deadmau5 will be the final two bands playing that night. This might clear up my main "tentative" conflict of The Hold Steady/The National.

haha a little late on the lucasfilm enterprises.
i think nada surf is still on the wookie (let's boycott bigfoot). there just isn't room on the main stage - they would never switch from closing sunday night on the wookie to playing before OK Go at like 4 on saturday

The hairy creature in Star Wars is actually spelt Wookiee. This makes me think that Lucas has no rights to Wookie.

What if they named the stage Jorge Lucas Is A Greedy Asshole, and had a picture of a hairy creature wearing a sombrero extending it's middle finger?

Well I'm pretty sure that would survive a copyright challenge under IP law.

Awesome. Everyone take note, when they have another contest next year to rename the Wookie/Bigfoot stage, Jorge Lucas Is An Asshole is officially taken. I mean this.

I thought my idea for the dance tent name this year (Bigfootloose Tent) was creative as fuck haha. I'll just assume for my own sake that they didn't use it because they were changing the Wookie name

I do not... DO NOT, like the sound of a "solar stage," aside from the small benefit it'll have for conservation... In terms of sound and show, this makes me very weary... Green stages are great concepts on board, but from my experience awful in practice...

I'm sure it's not going to be 100% solar powered. Here in Vancouver one of the local ski mountains just installed a huge wind turbine to "power" the mountain. It only accounts for a small portion of the power in reality and is rarely even spinning. Basically a huge tourist attraction and a way to look like you care with out really doing anything. I'd bet this isn't much different.

why not just set up some stationary bikes connected to a battery and let festival goers power the stage. yes, that idea is illogical, but it beats an acoustic stage.
