Not...unless they were involved in the whole conspiracy with Expedia cancelling my flight, offering me a refund, telling me I could re-book...but now the flights are $100 more. I could probably pull it off if I didn't spend anything there, and if someone could pick me up and drop me off at the airport. But other than that, whichever way the rider works...haha...I won't be there.

Due to Mr. Mothersbaugh's hand injury, Devo won't be playing at Fun Fun Fun Fest. Sad day. I was really looking forward to seeing these guys live!

Wishing a speedy recovery to Bob.

Very disappointing. That sounds like a really nasty injury!

It's a shame about Devo. I hope Bob recovers soon!

Anyway, we'll be driving to Austin around 2:00 tomorrow, which should get us in just in time for the beginning of Fun Fun Fun Fest. I'm really curious to see whether or not Al will do meet and greets for this. Apparently he can't stay for the other days to watch other performers, but it's still possible he will be able to meet with fans after the show.

I'll be writing my review/summary of the show tomorrow night after the show if I'm not too tired.

I am so excited for tomorrow! I really hope Al will do a meet and greet, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Did he say that he's not staying?

I really wouldn't expect Al to do a meet after this show. It's a huge festival, sounds like he's leaving directly after the show. But, man...do I really wish I was going to be there tomorrow night. It's hard to believe there's an Al show, and I won't be there. Hope you all have a great time! Be sure to write-up your best ever review...I'll be waiting for it!

He goes back Saturday morning from what he told people who ran into him last night on South Congress. I imagine he will hang for a bit after the show, but not very long.

for everyone that's going...the low is suppose to be 39 tonight...parking is in the garages and ususally runs around $10.

Since someone else will be writing a review, I'll probably just post some comments over the weekend and maybe some pictures.

I'm going to be there with one of my offspring. Say "hi" if you see us!
