The week ahead: Athens Popfest (and the Cubs!)

Busy week ahead as my Chicago Cubs are in Atlanta from Tuesday through Thursday, while Athens Popfest runs from Tuesday until Saturday. I'll be at Turner Field on Tuesday and running around Popfest the rest of the week. If all goes as planned I'll upload pictures as the week/end progresses, though I'm sure they won't measure up to Mike's output.

I'll be running around with PJ from The Yellow Stereo, so expect coverage on both ends. I'm sure Sloan, Gordon, HHBTM Mike, and Casper will be around, and I believe Jeff from Optical Atlas will be too.
