Lolla afterparties

[cool_beanies]

So excited to see the lineup (!)...and still trying to figure out how to get from M.I.A. to The Rapture to Silversun Pickups to Blonde Redhead all in the span of an hour...but also curious as to how to get in the loop for the afterparties?  Suggestions?

Two I know of so far are STS9 at HOB on Friday (onsale 20 June), and Cafe Tacuba at Metro on Saturday (on sale now, a little expensive but worth it).  Entrance to Metro also includes the Smart Bar downstairs that'll have DJ's til 5am.  
 
 Other "parties" not including Lolla artist will emerge in the next week or so.  
 
 Late night shows including Lolla artist are found on band myspace pages, forums, etc. just check out the bands you'd want to see in the lower tier of the line-ups that aren't on national tours or playing V Fest there's likely something going on.
 
 The radio station will also being doing a show at the empty bottle on saturday night but haven't confirmed the artists.  Last year was money with Sonic Youth and Feist, so I'm sure it'll be good.

 Peter, Bjorn, and John are playing an after party show on Friday, venue TBD but I think it'll be with a couple of other Lolla artist, and relatively early (9pm) for a aftershow party.  Think they're playing Baltimore next day before returning for their own Lolla set.

Just in case anyone was heading to Empty Bottle on Friday for Fields and Heartless Bastards, the line up is now The Satin Peaches, Dax Riggs, and Heartless Bastards.  (If anyone hears of where Fields might play other than Lolla, please post!)

When does Lolla end each night?  I can't imagine y'all are going to after parties after 12 hours of shows at Lolla.  Whoa man.  I'll be SLEEPIN'!

12 hours of shows?  I don't think there are that many hours available each day, but even if there were that is a little too much time out in that shitty ass weather for me.  I usually put in about 5-6 hours, then enjoy the evenings, it's the one thing that separates Lolla from most of the other multiple day fests in the US... the fact you  have urban setting and can enjoy a lot more than merely what the festival has to offer.

Here's a link to 93xrt page with a lot of lolla information including links to get free tix for after party shows that aren't avail to general public, you'll see it mid page.

Here's another Friday night activity folks, same set up as the Daft Punk/Rapture (Busy P is of course the DP manager and label head) afterparties on the rest of the tour....free with RSVP, but they're limited so get hot

I was only off by an hour or so.  Shows start at 11:15 and end at 10:00.  
 
 For me, throwing in after parties is a bit much (although it's essentially what I do at SxSW).  I'll take a list, but doubt I'll get to any...  Of course, that depends on how shitty the weather is.
