Anyone else planning on going?

It was a really great time last year, and very well run. The location is great: you're in downtown Chicago rather than Bumfuck, Tennessee or wherever. I think this year's line-up is a little weaker than last year. There are plenty of good bands and many I'd like to see, but I feel like there will be less of a draw. Last year had Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, and Death Cab for Cutie (meh) as the headliners, and also bands like Wilco and the Flaming Lips. This year we get Pearl Jam, which I guess is ok, but you'd think the Smashing Pumpkins would be the obvious choice. Looking forward to seeing My Morning Jacket (again), the Black Keys, and LCD Soundsystem.
