Fun Fun Fun Fest, perhaps the only music festival that will shoot tacos at your face, is turning 10 this year. To celebrate, they’ve gotten Bill Nye to take a break from explaining the mysteries of the universe to explore the “science of fun.” 

The fest, which takes place in Austin, Texas, Nov. 6-8, will hopefully include a cameo by Nye during Wu Tang Clan’s set. D’Angelo, Jane’s Addiction (performing their 1990 LP Ritual de lo Habitual), Drive Like Jehu, Babes in Toyland, Grimes, Venom, Peaches, L7, Neon Indian, and more will also perform, and the 12-chamber taco cannon will be there as well. It’s hard to argue with Nye’s observations here.
