i wish JA was on that list :(

i'll probably only end up getting to see a small percentage of those bands. there just aren't enough hours in the day!!

If you get a chance, check out Jeremy Messersmith (he's from MN) and I bought his album a few weeks ago and I just love it. He's going to be there (I have no idea where)

char, i can't find him anywhere on the official schedule. i guess he's only playing day shows? if i run across him while i'm planning my day schedule i'll pencil him in!
