Nashville Roll Call

[ALady]

It's Vandy's Rites of Spring that weekend, too.

In.

[BH]

Tell me more about Rites of Spring Festival Alady.  Is it all in one place?  How soon will they announce the bands?

[ALady]

I'm no expert, but here's what (I think) I know: it's held on the Vanderbilt campus on the Alumni Lawn, it's BYOB, and I think it's around $50 for the weekend.  Last year the Flaming Lips, T.I., N.E.R.D., Okkervil River, Q-Tip, Santigold, Grand Ole Party, Black Joe Lewis, Star Death & White Dwarfs, and K'Naan played, among others.  I don't know when they'll announce this year's acts, but I'd guess it would be soonish.

[Hawkeye]

HOLY.  SHIT.  I think I was in before, but now I'm definitely in!  Nashville and Columbus at least!

[ALady]

The Jacket played Rites of Spring in '06   :)

That's what I'm hoping. After my ill fated attempt at sneaking off to the original Chicago dates last tour, I'm really not going to be allowed to travel to see any, not that I was allowed before. We didn't get a show last time so hopefully this time.

Help me out.  

I have the week off during the Birmingham, Nashville, and Atlanta shows.  I have a frequent-flyer ticket burning a hole in my pocket.  

Where should I go?  Any thoughts?  

[slappymoe]

[jones]

So...

1. ALady
2. Hawkeye
3. flyguy

... and some maybes.

We should all meet up at Flying Saucer before the show.  They have good food and a beer menu with enough choices to make your brain hurt.  The Beer Sellar is also pretty cool.
