I was right- or at least partially. No Badu :~( But, Janelle Monae came out and freestyled, did one of her songs and best of all- came out and danced to How I Got Over... Great stuff! :~)
185737, she was really impressive...

>>NO Camelpacks
Wat.

>>NO Stuffed Animals
Odd. I guess people put shit inside of them?

>>NO Pets
>>NO Drugs / Drug Paraphernalia
Alright, that's bullshit. Now I'm definitely not going. I usually put a nice cocktail of drugs in a condom, have my dog swallow it and shit it out when we get to the festival grounds -- how is this gonna work now?
