With a lineup including Altos, Sun O))), Oneida, Yo La Tengo, Baroness, Deerhoof, NOBUNNY, Built to Spill and many others, it seems like it could tickle the fancy of any number of us ILFers. I've got my tickets... anyone else going?

Will do! They're not on the lineup listing, but I'm sure there are plenty of bands that aren't yet. If you find out where & when they're playing, post it here - I'll try to catch at least part of their set.

YES. YOU REALLY OUGHT TO!

Because then I would buy you a beer. In person. Which would be awesome.

Could we get somebody on that?

Well, also the Altos are my friends, i went to school with one of the dudes in Megafaun, and I give them all pedals, and my band is really good. Maybe next year. I dont know how/where to send our stuff to get in on these fucking festivals.

I was totally being serious, both about you playing and me buying you a beer. Maybe check with Altos and see how they hooked it up?

Damn, I actually thought this would straight up be a festival for hopscotch. I was going to make a joke about going only if there's free scotch provided.


But looks like Dan Deacon will be there. His live shows are soooooo9 fun. Go see him!
