Caribbean Holidaze Is Now Mayan Holidaze, Bringing STS9 Along

I know I'm supposed to be super pumped about this news as I touted Caribbean Holidaze as the greatest festival in the world, but forgive me if I fart on the cereal.  The newest incarnation of the festival has changed the name to something stupider and even kept the holidaze part which is a shame as they are clinging on to MLK day to have the same signifigance as the more famous winter ones that were originally featured.  Then they decided noone really cares about the NFL playoffs so they'll just have the festival then.  On top of that the location has been changed to my least favorite country in the world.  And they added STS9 so Umphrey's fans can be even bigger outsiders.

These are the facts, there will be no Holidaze in 2010.  STS9 will join The Disco Biscuits and Umphrey's McGee for the first ever Mayan Holidaze that will take place January 20-24 on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico.  Complete details will be announced May 5th like where you can get your crystals and flat brim hats.  All inclusive rooms go on sale May 12th.  

Temporary bitterness aside this will still be an incredibly awesome time that I strongly recommend everyone partake in, I'm just feeling incredibly bummed by the changes.  If the Lakers win tonight and the Vikings take Jimmy Clausen today will officially be the worst day ever.  Or at least since Tabby Wormser made fun of my Cross Color jeans in junior high.  

Head on over to the official site for some awesome shots of the location and to stay updated on the shenanigans.
