I really, really wanted to go but ended up booking a ticket to Austin for the end of April instead. Heading to see Dr. Dog at Emo's and Norah Jones at Stubbs while I'm in town. Are you heading to SXSW?? Can't wait to hear all about it if you are!

Oh dude! Man or Astro-Man? I haven't seen them since 1998. I hope they're planning on coming to Chicago if they do a reunion tour.

Yeah I am heading down. It should be a good time. So far I am planning to see Justin Townes Earle, She & Him, Surfer Blood, Superchunk, The xx, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Japandroids.

superchunk? rad.

i would think so especially since their booking agency and old record label are chicago-based. i was able to catch them at the touch & go 25th anniversary thingy at the hideout block party a few years ago. it was glorious.
