Jason, 80 and I will be in Chicago from July 1-10. We're going to a wedding on the 8th, but besides that we're basically just going to be hanging out with as many friends as we can. Email me to call dibs on evenings, weekends, and days you'd like to see us.

How is possible?

So there's some big-time flamenco happening at the HW Library on August 10 (at 8) and August 11 (7:30) I've seen Edwin before - the guy is pretty amazing. Pedro and Ricardo are both supurb guitarists as well. 30 beans is pretty rough, though, and it looks like the good seats are even more in New York on the 9th. Might be worth it if you have a lady to impress or are looking to class it up for a night - the show will be great. I'm going to attach a .jpg of the flyer and see if it turns up.

Tickets for the festival go on sale Monday, March 6 at 12 PM CST.

TicketWeb

From pitchforkmedia.com:

Landing in Chicago's Union Park this July 29-30, the Pitchfork Music Festival lineup is set to feature thirty-six of the finest artists in independent music on three separate stages. Promising all the hospitality-- and economical ticket prices-- that've become a staple of our events, we'll be unloading one-day passes for a mere $20, while fans planning to attend both days can scoop up two-day passes at the absurdly affordable rate of $30. Honestly: 83¢ per band. You can't download a single song for that price-- let alone two whole days of them, performed for you live in the afternoon sun.

But aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? Who are these 36 artists, exactly? Well, we can't tell you everything just yet, but we are at liberty to reveal six for you now, with more to follow in the coming weeks. And if you think these look good, wait 'til you see the rest:

>> Mission of Burma
>> Ted Leo/Pharmacists
>> Mountain Goats
>> The National
>> Jens Lekman
>> Hot Machines

Don't Spit the Water!

Location:The Playground Theater, 3209 North Halsted, Chicago
Yo,

I just got cast in a show that's kind of a mix of Make Me Laugh and a variety show called "Don't Spit the Water." Basically comedians come out and try to make contestants spit water from laughing.

I'm playing for 2nd time (ever!) this Saturday @ 10:30PM. Tickets are $12, but if you follow this link http://www.dontspitthewater.com/?page=tickets you can get a coupon for $2 off. The theater is also BYOB.

My character is called "Your Dad," who is your divorced absentee father whose really happy to see you.

If you go to the show I will buy you a delicious PBR at the L&L Tavern afterwards.

Thanks,

Todd

The Early Risers are playing next Thursday at the Beat Kitchen. There are 3 other bands that I don't know. I also don't know the order. I do know that I will go to said rock show and get my socks rocked off. I suggest you all do the same.
