Getting excited about Athens Popfest 2010



After a year off in 2009, Athens Popfest returns August 10-14. I'm pretty excited about it, as my professional life has prevented me from seeing much live music lately. I'm particularly excited about veteran acts The Apples in Stereo, Mission of Burma, Oh-OK, and Your Heart Breaks, along with local favorites Madeline and Grape Soda. There's a lot more to see too, including a bunch of local bands on my radar, and it's only $45 for the whole festival. Should be a great late summer event and worth a visit to Athens for the out-of-town crowd. We're nice here, you know.

Mission of Burma - "Dirt"

New posts! Awesome. I wish I could attend Popfest. Doesn't look likely. I was just in Athens at the beginning of the month.

You can spend money on this shit and you're going to drive all of Europe broke?

Don't worry about Anonymous. It's just his/her/its way of saying that he/she/it missed you. So did I. Check out Raymilland!
