Are Damon and Naomi and Sloan playing at the same time? I'd kind of like to see both.
 
 The BC schedule page says Sloan is Mainstage at 7 and D&N is backstage at 9, but the info page for D&N says mainstage.   :o

Hmm...Sloan may be done before D&N now that I look at it. Didn't know Sloan doors were so early. I think the D&N mainstage thing is a typo.
 
 And the main draw for me of that show is Helena Espval/Masaki Batoh; caught D&N open for Boris and they did very little for me live. Love them on disc, though.

azaghal, you're choosing jose gonzalez over major stars and thalia zedek? nothing wrong with gonzalez, but i guarantee you a better show with major stars. first dc show ever. and if you want emotional content, thalia's got it.

Is Thalia Zedek playing with a band or just her?
 I think it's doable to do both shows since Gonzalez' show is over by 11ish.

I think you're right.
 I may do that.

thalia's got a great band with her on the road (former members of come and fuzzy). if kohoutek goes on last, she'll go on at 10:15 and major stars at 11:15. we're trying to figure out the lineup.

So depending on the order, if I went to Jose Gonzalez, I'd either catch all of Major Stars and Kohoutek or all of Thalia and Major Stars.
 
 Both sound like a great way to spend $8.
 
 I hope Susan Alcorn gets a nice long set at the lighthouse; twice what she got at Floristree a few weeks ago, at least.

Major Stars were the highlight of the 3-show day by far.
 
 
 I was ready to pass out from exhaustion before they came on and that monster of a set gave me a second wind.
