Dig your crop tops out of your closet, iron some patches on to your jean jacket, and sprinkle on some body glitter because we’re planning the ultimate ’90s Throwback Summer Festival.

It’s going to be hotter than Kate Winslet’s hand on a steamy car window and we’re here to give you an all-access pass to the excitement. We got stand-up comedian Joey Gladstone hosting the event, Alex Mac reciting the 10 things she hates about cliché ’90s movies, and Carl Winslow running the security team. And in between all that jam-packed action, we’re re-introducing your absolute favorite performers from the ’90s.

Contact us today (IluvZachMorris@AOL.com) to get details on how to win a cassette recording of the entire event.

Over on the Hip-Hop/Rock Stage we’ve got the creatively-named Coolio (Awesomeio!), the parent-approved-is-this-even-rap? Will Smith, and one-hit British wonder Chumbawhumba performing their greatest hits.

Take a left at the set of Never Been Kissed and you’ll run into our Tiger Beat section, otherwise known as our Boy Band Stage. Look for the long-haired-yet-somehow-sexually-appealing boys of Hanson; the A&F marketing team LFO; the wannabe Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees; and fan favorites Jesse and the Rippers.

Head straight on until you pass the clearance sale on Jellies and you’ll see our ultimate Girl Power Stage. And no, Spice Girls won’t be performing. They said no more tours once Baby hit 40. Instead we have an all-star line-up that kicks off with a heartfelt and realistic duet between Brandy and Monica followed by a tribute to TLC. Last but not least, the least sexually provocative of the ’90s girls, Mandy Moore, will take the stage.

Of course this is just a dream (hey it could happen!) and is totes not happening this summer. But I think we all would gladly take this kind of summer festival over the wannabe-hippie drugfest that is Bonnaroo and the somehow-still-selling-out Dave Matthews concerts. So here’s to hoping we can pull it together for 2011. If so, you’ll definitely spot me in the back with my devil sticks, wearing my signature blue dress with the stain that just won’t come out!

    Not going to lie, I looked around frantically for a link to buy tickets. Sigh.

    I would empty my bank account for this… with some additions. Alanis Moriseette, of course. Who wouldn't want to see a show down with Uncle Joey? Natalie Imbruglia. Meredith Brooks. Maybe a meet and greet with Lucy Lawless or Sarah Michelle Gellar?

    What about all of the alt-rock bands? You're missing a HUGE 90s genre! Gin Blossoms, Third Eye Blind, Vertical Horizon, Nine Days…they should all be there.

    This is seriously THE best thing on the face of the planet. I almost sent you an email (then realized it was a joke). I have a radio show at school dedicated to the 90s called "When Zach Morris Eats Real Jewish Rye"…you don't understand my obsession with the era I grew up in. I seriously try to bring back EVERYTHING 90s. My flannel, the fanny pack…hell, I just bought a pair of overalls at the Gap! Their coming back, baby!

    uhm, bonnaroo is the best music fest there will ever be. (besides if this 90's one was actually real cause i'm not gonna lie… i looked around for the link to buy tickets too!) but bonnaroo isn't just a "wannabe-hippie drugfest".

    BROO 2010! whooooo.

    I also looked around for a link and was a little sad when I realised it wasn't real, I would fly from Australia to America too see that if it were real :)

    The 90's rocked. There are so many 90's songs I forgot about. http://www.musicinthenineties.com is a really cool place to find the 90's music that you forgot about.

    My legs seem to be getting tired too easy when runinng. If I run a long run, like a 10 mile run, they start getting tight and tired about two miles into it. If I run my long run in intervals they will make it ok. I also am very tight the day after my long runs. My breathing isn’t an issue so I feel like I’m in decent shape. I’ve been using CFE for over a year so the wods aren’t anything new to me. Could there be a lack of something in my diet? I currently eat a paleo zone type diet.

Tell us what you're thinking...
