Summerfest in Milwaukee

Summerfest is a pretty big music festival they have here every year. Kind of cool, 'cause you can see alot of acts, but usually the crowds suck. I was there a few years ago for the Dead, and it was just a bunch of drunk old dudes. Lots of jam bands this year, which is cool.
But this is who I'll be seeing this year, theres a few hundred bands playing though....I have the week off my job, and most of the concerts are free, so its a good deal.
29th--Blue Oyster Cult 29th--Tom Petty 30th--Pearl Jam 30th--Lynyrd Skynyrd + Steppenwolf 2nd--Nine Inch Nails (maybe) 4th--Creedence, moe., Pschedelic Furs (Hard choices this day) 5th--Yonder Mountain String Band, Mickey Harts Interactive Drum Circle 6th--String Cheese Incident + Bob Weir and Ratdog + Keller Williams 7th--The Big Wu (If I can get out of bed after the night before)
Anyone else from around the area gonna hit this up?

I'll be there, I've seen so many great bands at summerfest, I can't begin. I've gone at least 15 summers in a row. It used to be cool, FREE concerts rocked, there used to be drugs there, not anymore.
edit: I've seen a lot of shitty bands there too, facilitated by the drugs.
