You can find me with a foot in front of Jeff the Brotherhood and my torso stretching two blocks away to see Mascis.

I posted something about this in the Gathering of The FOT forum the other day.

I'm literally giddy about this fest.  Had a blast last year.

Should the FOT takeover a day party?

Miles, on your way from seeing The Love Language to Dan Melchior, you should stop and check out Apache Dropout.  One of my favorite records of the year so far and one of the bands I'm most looking forward to seeing.

My manager is checking for campsites.

25 miles is too far.

Prolly closest camping.
But there are cheap hotels in this distance periphery as well.

I have a bunch of hippies in my neighborhood...I don't think they'd mind if you camped out in our cul de sac...it's pretty big, and shady.

I just got my tickets this AM so they're still available if anyone still has the itch. A note to hipsters: Please dont hose yourself in Patchouli: there is no reason to ruining one of our most beloved senses for a reunion of this proportion so you can be the center of olfactory irony.

Great Suggestion....
Apache Dropout was great.
Rhythm section was just throbbing.
Was like the Gories fronted by Ian Curtis.
Pretty amazing ...thanks.
