Bonnaroo kicks off today. In fact, at this precise moment, music-lovers anticipating one of the best weekends of their respective summers are pitching their tents and working out which bands they'll see tonight. I remember this feeling. I went to Bonnaroo last year and had such a blast that I got passes for this year's festival, as well. Unable to make the trip at the last minute, I am living ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

The time for music festivals is sneaking upon us and Bonnaroo is one of the top festivals
every summer. Bonnaroo takes place in Manchester, Tennessee every June. Multiple stages host both mainstream and emerging bands. Artists set up shop throughout the Bonnaroo grounds. Delicious local and organic food is served. And, alas, a giant mushroom spitting water acts as a cleansing landmark for all ...Where are all the travel guide apps for Android?
Mar 25th, 2011 at 11:00AM: Nearly two years ago, I bought my first smartphone: the T-Mobile Android MyTouch*. I'm only occasionally jealous of my iPhone-carrying friends, as I find few travel guide apps for Android. Even after a move to Istanbul, I still use and rely upon it daily; Android's interface is fast and easy-to-use, and seamless use of Google applications like Gmail and Google Maps is part of the reason I bought ...Four United Kingdom cities show what rudeness is, Manchester meanest
Dec 6th, 2010 at 9:00AM: Sometimes, it can be pretty hard to face facts. Nobody wants to be called rude, and many destinations make great efforts to be perceived as welcoming. Well, forget what you see in the brochures and pretty PR pictures – some places are just tough.
Like the United Kingdom.
Now, I've hit London and several cities in Scotland. I had no problems at all. Then again, I'm from New York and ...Five hotel holiday deals in New England

Apr 6th, 2010 at 1:30PM: We talk a lot here at Gadling about annoying airline passengers, from the guy who smashes our knees by reclining his seat back as far as it can go, to the self-righteous fellow who simply must convert us before the plane lands.
Two women in England have them all beat--they tried to smuggle a dead body on board. The unnamed women were stopped at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport on Saturday as ...Explore London with Sherlock Holmes
Nov 15th, 2009 at 2:30PM: In anticipation of the Christmas Day release of the new Sherlock Holmes movie (starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law), Visit Britain has developed a microsite to help guide fans to the London locations used in the film. The site also offers possible itineraries for a Holmes-themed tour of London.
The list of London stops on the Holmes tour includes St. Paul's Cathedral, ...Hollinwood? Not so famous, but they do have a similar sign
Aug 11th, 2009 at 4:30PM: Nobody is likely to confuse Hollywood, California, the capital of the movie industry, with Hollinwood, UK, an industrial town near Manchester, but apparently someone is trying to cause some confusion.
The BBC has reported that a three-foot-high reproduction of the famous Hollywood sign, but spelled "Hollinwood", has appeared next to the M60 motorway. Hollinwood (pictured here) is less than five ...Gadling's guide to Summer music
May 29th, 2009 at 8:30AM: Summer. Music. Could any two words in the English language possibly go so well together? There's just something about warm weather that makes you want to be outside, bare feet touching soft grass and dirt underfoot, hands in the cool night air, eardrums fluttering to the vibrations of a strumming guitar. And aside from Summer, what could go better with music than travel? Whatever your favorite ...Museum Junkie: Manchester exhibit on life as a POW
May 27th, 2009 at 4:00PM: A fascinating exhibit on life as a POW has opened at The Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, England.
The exhibition, called "Captured: The Extraordinary Life of Prisoners of War", combines pictures, artifacts, and real-life anecdotes to give a glimpse into the experiences of prisoners of war from all armies during the Second World War (1939-45). It also features the only known film of German ...Cabin pressure drop sends Brits to Athens, not Egypt
Mar 2nd, 2009 at 5:00PM: A charter flight bound for Egypt made an emergency landing in Athens when cabin pressure dropped. The flight originated in Manchester, England and carried 192 passengers. Five passengers complaining of ear pain were taken to a local hospital as a precaution, according to the Greek state television station. No other injuries were reported.
Jet2.com, the low-cost carrier operating the flight, has ...Cities That Need a Vacation
Jul 19th, 2007 at 8:05PM: The August 2007 issue of Men's Health (don't ask me why I read it being a woman of poor heath) gathered a list of the "most workaholic" U.S. cities. They measured how residents punch the clock and logged their overtime; monitored their commute times, blood pressure and self-reported stress.
Yep, you are all wrong ... New York ranked 37 on the list.
Here is the Top 10 list of cities that are all ...
