They do a questionnaire every year after the festival asking you what you liked etc, one of the questions is always "who would you like to see next year?" I was telling everyone to add Uz Jsme Doma to their forms.

Nice! They should just make you part of the selection committee.

Every year I'm given the opportunity to either spend about 3 grand and see the festival and stay in France for a week... or spend that 3 grand on my own music and I have to choose my own music every year. This and Japan's RIO festivals are the only 2 festivals that I am truly sad to miss consistently.

Jump For Joy?
I take it this is a one off event grouping?

HACO???!!! THE HACO FROM AFTER DINER!!! Ohmondieumondieujedoisvraimentyallercetteannée!!!!
Or, after translation in a phlegmatic, calmly spoken English: "If HACO plays at RIO, I really have to go this year".

I'll have to pass on this for this year (too busy professionally, and let's face it no major attracting/drawing in on this year's line-up)...
I've been to half of these RIO fests so far and I went last year, so most likely next year will be good?
