DrNo Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm heading up to Chicago from Dallas to check it out this weekend. I'm assuming there are plenty of VC'ers going. I'm particularly excited about Os Mutantes, Silver Jews, the National and Devendra Banhart. How about you guys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 This all seemed like a good idea before they started predicting temps in the mid 90s, heat indexes in the 100s and rain...... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'll take the rain over the heat. Could be miserable if it's going to be that hot. A little rain might at least cool it down some. Regardless, ain't nothin' keepin' me away from Mission of Burma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tennisclay Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 so im home now. i left around 5. I was interested in seeing Walkmen & Ted Leo, but I was getting pretty tired from the heat. Im gonna be there all day tomorow because i want to see almost all the bands. Im not a wuss I work outside everyday in the summer for over 8 hours, just knew if i wanted to be there all day tomorrow and still work Monday I was gonna have to make a sacrifice.

uwmryan Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm back as well. Left after the Futureheads. I've seen Silver Jews already, and wasn't too into it, plus it was balls hot all day. You had to dig man man playing horns with the Walkmen... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Silver Jews were the highlight of the day for me. I'm totally fucking pooped though. I'm gonna get there a little bit later tomorrow, as there's 5 straight hours at the end of the day tomorrow that I'm going to be hyped up for (Mission of Burma, Glenn Kotche, Yo La Tengo, Spoon, Os Mutantes).
