4-5 p.m.: Sloan (although Neko Case is tempting)
[early dinner]
6-7 p.m.: Broken Social Scene
7-8 p.m.: Ryan Adams (but leave a little early and catch some of…)
7:15-8:15 p.m.: Rebirth Brass Band (but leave a little early and move to…)
8-8:45 p.m.: Franz Ferdinand (although Gomez is tempting)
8:45-9:55 p.m.: Los Lonely Boys
[party]
Saturday:
[sleep in late, then straggle in late to…]
2-3 p.m.: Josh Rouse
3-4 p.m.: Old 97s
4-4:45 p.m.: Bruce Robison (and hope he plays this song)
[early dinner, unless I grow remarkably more pro-Modest Mouse]
6-7 p.m.: My Morning Jacket (although Los Amigos Invisibles is very tempting)
7:15-8:15 p.m.: Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown (leaving early for…)
8-8:45 p.m.: The Neville Brothers
8:45-9:55 p.m.: The Pixies
[party]
Sunday:
[sleep in late, a hearty migas brunch, then…]
1:45-2:30 p.m.: Calexico
2:30-3:30 p.m.: The Roots (also tempting: Doyle Bramhall and Shelby Lynne)
3:30-4:30 p.m.: Ben Kweller (but leave after three songs for…)
4-5 p.m.: Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra (but leave after two very lengthy songs for…)
4:30-5:30 p.m.: Elvis Costello
5:30-6:30 p.m.: Spoon
[get in the car, drive back to Dallas, moderately sad over missing Wilco, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, David Garza, Cake, and Ben Harper in the evening]
Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. My pace will pick up soon, I hope.
