I would be all over the Fletcher Opera Theater on Friday if I were going...

Noticed they added Kennedy Theater, which is a "170-seat, 40 x 60-foot black-box experimental theater" that's right behind Memorial/Fletcher.

Thought I was going to be able to come on here and work my schedule out, but quickly realizing it is going to take me a while to figure out some of these conflicts. Think I'm going to base some choices on the venue the act is playing in (i.e. Angel Olsen and Grouper in Fletcher sounds heavenly)

Ohh that venue sounds awesome.

I'm kinda doing the same thing with my schedule. Not so much the venue but the proximity to the show I'm at before.
Ya. I'm that f*cking lazy.

Damn, no kidding. That thing is stuffed. Lots of choices.

Is there no music during the day at all?

I thought I was going crazy. Glad to see I wasn't.

f*ck

this is probably what I would see. have to look more at the closeness of the venues and the day party announcements.

Thur:Pharmakon>Grouper>Marnie Stern or Merzbow>Kurt Vile
Fri:Gross Ghost>Future Islands/Big Boi/Lady Lamb The Beekeeper/Local Natives or Night Beds and Mount Moriah/maybe some of Suuns/Mikal Cronin (really sucks to miss Waxahatchee)
Sat:The Lollipops>The Breeders/Spiritualized/Inter Arma/Torres/Sleep

Thursday
Nathan Bowles or Body Games --> bit of Kingsbury Manx (tear down/set up time between Bowles and Angel Olsen) --> Angel Olsen --> Sylvan Esso (tear down/set up time between Angel Olsen and Grouper) --> Grouper --> last half of Marnie Stern --> Kurt Vile

Friday
Gross Ghost --> FUTURE ISLANDS --> Big Boi --> Dan Friel or Big Black Delta --> Action Bronson (mainly to make sure I'm in for Earl, but also because the Bonnaroo show sounded like a blast) --> Earl Sweatshirt

Saturday
The Lollipops --> The Breeders --> Spiritualized --> Scout Niblett or Schooner --> half of Low --> Califone --> last half of Sleep --> Riton (if it's still going)


Please, for the love of god, let there be some after parties this year.
