Shit - now that you mention it - I'm feeling it a little bit harder to justify (to myself, only due to ignorance on my part) bothering to show up for the Friday portion... that way I could potentially eliminate the cost of lodgings for one night...

I know a few songs of GvsB, so I have a little bit of a 'feel' for them, but I know nothing of the others... (although I might do some shifty p2p/mp3 snooping this weekend)

I would be curious to hear any of y'all discuss the merits of these artists:

!!!
Ted Leo + Pharmacists
Supersystem
The Shipping News

Any thoughts (+ or -) on these acts?

Are any of them "must-see" in any of your personal lists?

The Shipping News is June of 44 people. They are okay.
The Supersystem is not good.
Ted Leo is boring.
!!! may be interesting.

Yes, I was thinking that I would take my out of town guests to Ruth's Chris for some steaks Friday night and then head over to the Bear Claw show.

I am assuming my ticket will be my passport. No different than if you show up late.

I talked to Jessica at the Hideout yesterday and she said that they are doing wristbands so that you can come and go as you please.

Thanks for the info!

Personally, I think this band is terrible.

Tim, just remember that:

You can dance if you want to
You can leave your friends behind

It's like some fantasy line up. I hope all of you that will be there really enjoy it. x

I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like this band. Come on, the exact same pseudo-funk bass lines and tempos for 40 minutes straight with a second-rate Michael Hutchence on vocals prancing about? Awesome!




No...hold on...wait...they suck.

I'm also not fan of !!!. too dancy-hip or whatever for my tastes, but maybe you're into that.

but i saw this short documentary clip about their drummer chopping up records and making scratchy collages out of them, and using a knife as a record needle. Kinda cool I guess, but he's no Christian Marclay or anything.

Saw Ted Leo at the hideout once... seems a nice fella who addresses the crowd graciously, talks in polysyllables, and plays a pretty good rock guitar. Some people are obsessed with him...

Have fun you crazy punk rockers! I'll be in Kent, Ohio, seeing Melanie.
