TOMORROW IS THE DAY: HOOTENANNY!

OH MAN. How great is vacation. We are totally still enjoying ours. Do you know what the best thing about All Inclusive is? It doesn’t include watches, alarm-clocks or BlackBerry chargers. Seriously next level. So you know it’s gotta be something spectacular spectacular that would cause us to fire-up the wireless internet in the exclusive white-sand beachside fully attended and stocked Skyline Network Cabana. Yes, you see, tomorrow is the day when your 2008 gets STARTED RIGHT, with the swim-up bar of all things wonderful that is HOOTENANNY!

We are so stoked about this little shebang that we are taking time off from our blue-water view marathon back massage and SAMMIE WINNER writing session to parachute directly to The Mink’s Backroom for Saturday’s Show. Here, men, women and primitives, is the FINAL LINEUP:

DOWNSTAIRS
8:30 – John Sears as Sam Cooke
9:00 – Papermoons as Pedro the Lion
10:00 – The Jonx as nomeansno
11:00 – Something Fierce as The Clash
12:00 – Awesome! as Weezer

UPSTAIRS
9:30 – Panic in Detroit as Jawbox
10:30 – Mathletes as Talkinig Heads
11:30 – The Dimes as The Pixies
12:30 – Blades as Foo Fighters
1:00 – Indian Jewelry as Depeche Mode

FREAK OUT! That lineup is as beautiful as a Chardonnay sunrise, and as cool as a sangria breeze. Can you believe it? Doors are at six, so come on early and don’t miss those early treats. The whole show is all ages and is a mere $5. Woah – now THAT’S what we call all inclusive.

Still not convinced? Don’t take our word for it, check out the coverage from The Free Press, Space City Rock and Houston Calling, or The Houston Press’ write up and chat with the bands involved.

(PS: Earlier posts talked about both LAWS and Satin Hooks taking place in this epic night of rock and rickroll. Sadly, a member shared by both groups has been injured, and is chell, but unable to play. We wish him all our best and a speedy and full recovery. We tell you this so there won't be no rumorz).

(PPS: Shameless Plug - our merciless and word-inventing supreme editor is flying back a day early to shore up his tax shelters and do a DJ stint at Vinyl Ranch tonight, the epic monthly Hoe-Down at Leon's Lounge. Should be Jersey Wicked in the 3:10 to Yuma style).
