Ah I found it. Thanks for the link you useless fuck.

[IceyHotshot]

I'm sure learning how to use Google was an arduous process, but remember, you are better for it.

[xanman86]

Icey taught me

[bmack86]

if you don't go this year you should at least go to FFF. it's like minicoachella with more punk rock and less untz. pretty sure i'll be back there.

That's actually the plan. I want to do that and Austin Psych Fest. They both look great, and much more affordable.

And Hopscotch?

[bmack86]

All of this really depends on me finding a job, but yeah, Hopscotch as well.

I also need to do FYF again after this past year being so spectacular.
