Saturday's nightcap over all is the best of the four sets of acts I'm seeing (sat/sun) IMO.

[killsaly]

If I do one of the late night ones, it will be Saturday.  That is depending on getting a hotel room for the night or not.

spankrock is no longer listed on the lineup fyi

LOWER DENS is can't miss though they play Baltimore a lot.

Ill keep that in mind.  I was planning on seeing all that days acts, so i will keep an ear out for them.

Too bad about Spank Rock.  That would have been the only reason i would have came out for Friday. 
Oh well I guess I will be at the SVI/Bloody Knives/Space Tigers show/Potluck dinner Friday night.

[azaghal1981]

^Yeah, I was planning on hitting that up. Last show at that house, too supposedly.

[killsaly]

Maybe I will see you there.  I haven't went to any shows there yet, so I guess the last is better than none.

I think Height with Friends and Javelin are reason enough to come out on Friday.  I saw "Height" last night and once again he and his crew put on an awesome show. 

[atomicfront]

Oh here are the acts I am excited about seeing. I am sure there are some other good ones that I missed.  Shame about Spank Rock.  Supposedly, there is one guaranteed big surprise and another one in the works.   Hopefully, that makes up for Spank Rock not being on the line-up.

Did you catch the Talk Normal set at Paper Sun a few months back? Totally killer.

[atomicfront]

This site has a page that lists all the bands and either MP3's from the bands or links to their site.  Very useful for a festival like this

[Got Haggis?]

Oxes presents Whoxescape: The Baltimore band Oxes (August 16th 1998 - ?) has temporarily reformed to present an in progress work as work. Throughout the day on Friday, Oxes will be structuring improvisations, veiled behind a curtain inside the Current Space, and then intermittently revealing themselves to present the pieces to both the expecting and unexpected public. This (com)posing will be presented as an installation and will examine the (un)relationship between Whartscape festivalgoers and the typical working class Baltimore citizens that frequent MTA public transportation.

so awesome

I want to go Sunday to see Wye Oak and Beach House, but will they announce set times so I can plan accordingly?

[azaghal1981]

^You gotta stay for the noisy late night if you go.
Wouldn't want to miss Burning Star Core, would you?
