Anybody going to SXSW??

I am.
neener neener poo poo.

but don't be too envious...I get to ride in a van for 18 hours with the Two Cow Garage boys and their gear. What am I going to do for 18 hours!?!? I only know 4 fart jokes and get sick to my stomach if I try to read in the car. I'm planning to learn a few more songs from their roster on accordion and concertina but that's not gonna take 18 hours...

Let's weigh the pluses and minuses, shall we?

Minus: 18 hours in a van.

Pluses: Jucifer, Paper Lions, Trail of Dead, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Party of Hellicopters, White Light Motorcade, Blur, Nada Surf, Pedro the Lion, Grandaddy, The Jayhawks, Michael Penn, Spoon, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Daniel Johnston, Supergrass, Slobberbone, Grant Lee Phillips, Drive By Truckers, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, I am the World Trade Center, Calexico, Jay Farrar, Tift Merritt, Damien Jurado, Idlewild, Death Cab for Cutie....

Nevermind. I'll stop complaining now.

don't forget Chris Lee. he's gonna be there. he should be on your PLUS list. if you get a chance, go see him, and tell him i said hi. he'd be very happy.

how lucky you are.

our band got the officil SXSW rejection notice a few weeks ago. boohoo.

have a great time.

he's playing at the same time as The Jayhawks (which are 1 of my 3 absolute must see's) and The Sun is also playing at the time which are from Columbus - i'd feel if I didn't get into the Jayhawks show, I'd hit the Sun and represent. word.

Maybe I'll go to SXSW next year. I really want to get out there.

awesome.

excellent report, Jess. full of great details and valuable information. and just a vivid account of a memorable time. one of those experiences that'll forever be wonderful.

thank you! it was a great time...
