i work till midnight, the venue is on my bus ride home, and my sweetie's outta town. of course, i'm not a fan of any of these folks, but it's for a good cause and it's taking place where i go to class. so really...i dunno!

God, I hate running out of posts. Help me Ben!

I like Steve Albini and I loved the Pumpkins. Haven't seen Billy since 2000 and I am kinda excited about his solo thing.

If I wasn't so sick, I'd be there for sure.

I'd love to see Sally Timms and Jon Langford - I used to be a big Mekons fan. I've kinda lost touch with what they're doing, but I understand the band is now based out of Chicago.

Arrrgh, that's too bad - if I had a buddy who was really into going - especially you! - I'd definitely be there.

You shouldn't let that stop you. Even if you just casually go and hang out, it might be fun. You could always invite your teacher. wink

eh, i might go on my own but i doubt it. the prospect of chilling out in my cozy little apartment with my netflix goodies and my blankets and alla that is too tempting a prospect. though if g.g. allin were alive and performing at this thing, i'd be more than happy to invite my EX(thankyouVERYmuch)teacher, of course ensuring that she be placed prominently at the front of the audience.
