Sounds good me Rick ...Is suntan brewery near you? I really like their pint glasses.I saw one once that was similar to Sam adams pint glasses but a thick glass.

Jen would be the authority on what's nearby. I'll check with her. There are a bunch of great places to drink in the area, though, so even if Suntan (I'm pretty sure it's actually San Tan but am not positive) isn't close, there are a variety of other options.

I hadn't given it any thought. Sort of odd they moved it away from the McDowell Mountains isn't it?

I might go by like on Saturday afternoon to catch Heartless Bastards and Deer Tick. oh the Shins are playing there Friday night too, that would be cool.

Yeah, that's pretty curious. I'm guessing they decided they could draw bigger crowds by being in downtown Phoenix, especially by partnering with the Crescent Ballroom and hosting the afterparties there. The Crescent has sold out so many shows in the short period of time its been around and has always been very well attended at every show I've been to, and that's held true on nights when we were just there to drink in the lounge.

We were considering going on Saturday but the band that most interests me is Heartless Bastards and we saw them at the Crescent last year, and the other major act that caught our attention that day is the Roots, who will be at Bestival, which is going to cost us quite a bit of money. So we're going to pass.

Wait, you live in Phoenix, you're a music fan, and you're not going to a festival where The Roots, The Shins, Dr. Dog, Umphrey's, Deer Tick, Heartless Bastards, Yonder Mt., Orogon and others are playing? That's silly.

i can understand GV blackballing some artists for just blatantly fucking up hardcore (ex: sly stone, ariel pink)

La Roux flaked out of the lineup in 2012 and got invited back in 2013.

Did you not read the saving money for Bestival part?

I'll raise you a Transmissions from the Satellite Heart

Late to weigh in on this, but you can't raise with a lower denomination. Transmissions is good, Clouds is better. Those are two of the three absolute peaks of their killer catalog (In A Priest Driven Ambulance being the third)

Did anyone catch the Hyundai commercial w/ the Lips? That was interesting.
