Hopscotch 2013

Solo or with the wife?

If it's solo and you don't mind floor space, cancel that shiz.

I will be solo. And I appreciate it, but I took the non-cancelable discount. Then they offered $40 cash back. Smoking deal. It's just for Saturday. I plan on leaving early in the morning to make it to the Birds of Maya day party at that crunk as hell out door auditorium.

Is anyone else stoked about Low?

Catching the first 45 minutes before I split for Califone or Cale.

Rebus Works is hosting a brunch with Legs McNeil. He'll read from his book and sign your favorite copy of Please Kill Me. Tickets include a performance by the venerable Dexter Romweber and a plate of food from Sarge's Chef on Wheels, coffee, juice and brews. This will take place after the Hopscotch Music Festival on Sunday, Sept 8th from 11-2pm. Seating is limited. Advance tickets are $35 and can be purchased from our web-site.

How does merch work for this shindig? A friend wants me to pick them up a shirt for one of the bands.

I woke up today thinking about how this is the week. I'm surprised my bags aren't packed yet.

EDIT: Scratch that. I'm packed.

Tickets for Big Boi's Hopscotch make-up date (Saturday, Sept. 21, in Memorial Auditorium) go on sale tomorrow at noon. Killer Mike opens. Remember, if you purchased or purchase a Hopscotch 2013 wristband, you can pick up a FREE VOUCHER for this show in Wristband City at the Sheraton Hotel, beginning Wednesday. (First-come, first-served, until they run out.)

And this show starts late, too, so you can even see Sigur Rós in Raleigh the same night!
