Not me! I'm pretty sure I don't care for any of those bands, oh well. And Foo Fighters ... boo-urns. I will be hitting up Fun Fun Fun Fest this year though! Stage 3 is hot sex.

thats what they all say

I try to go to as many festivals as I can and I was pleasantly surprised with ACL this year. Top three shows: Vampire Weekend, Alejandro Escovedo, and m. ward. I am going down to South Padre at the end of next month to see Alejandro again. If you have never been to the SPI Fest check it out. Its like SXSW but with better weather and no dust!
