So, any Tex/Austin/San Antonio/Hou/Dallas dopers going out to Zilker Park this weekend? I got the $35 3-day early bird special. For this lineup that’s a deal that really can’t be beat. I’ll be up there Friday evening through Sunday. Send me an email if you’re interested in meetin’ up.
I’m most interested in The Decemberists, Death Cab, Built to Spill, Wilco, Tortoise, Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand (yes I know they play the same time as Wilco), Thievery Corporation, Bloc Party, Rilo Kiley, M83, and about a dozen others. I still am pinching myself that I can see Coldplay, Oasis, The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers, and all of my favorite indie bands for $35. (gloat gloat gloat).
It’ll be hot, there may be a hurricane here in Houston, I’m abandoning my 7.5 month pregnant wife and 18 month old with an unknown house guest (student from the now-relocated Tulane medical school), but damn the torpedoes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime or at least a once-in-several-years opportunity.
