OK, this should be our "official" Friday afternoon at SXSW agenda.

Where's it at?

Enroll in Loog's reading comprehension course NOW.

I swear that wasn't there 2 minutes ago. I just woke up from a nap though so I should be excused.

The best thing about this place is it's on 7th Street, so it won't require the same type of Bataan Death March we had to undertake to check out Whiney's gig last year. I swear we had to walk halfway to Houston for that.

I dunno, it's the same day as the Pitchfork thing.
