It was because of this hangover that I missed what had been one of my most anticipated nights in music this year. On Friday two bands who make rare appearances on stage finally came out of hiding. The first, Louis and the Hunt, hit the stage at Metro at 9pm. Coincidentally, he is the bass player of the second band that played at Subterranean (one of my favorite Chicago venues) later that night at 11pm or so. The second band, Scattered Trees, have put out a new album that I downloaded back in August and haven't stopped listening to since. The cherry on top is that they just uploaded a cover of John Lennon's Instant Karma which is available for purchase and holy sh*t it sounds awesome. If I hear one more sad cover of Imagine I think I might hurl my computer across the room (but then pet it gently and coo sweet nothings in its ears in hopes that my files haven't been corrupted or lost).

More on the music/FEST planning front: Got more quotes from bands. WoOt! Also throwing out some ideas like holding FEST on Wish Field instead of on the quad (very unlikely, but would be awesome) and getting 2 major acts instead of the old standby of 3 progressing acts. Any suggestions?
