Any Festers coming from Chicago? I want a travel buddy this year, and I don't know anyone in the city who is going.

A bunch of Chicagoans post on The Sock Drawer, which is sort of a fan board for Brendan Kelly's blog. It's at http://www.thesockdrawer.proboards.com

Im going. But I already have 3 other dudes cramming into my car to make the drive down..

Great, more dudes

I meant to say, I have 3 fucking gorgeous girls who I talked into going to see a bunch of bands they naver heard of and are willing to get drunk and fuck anything with a beard and a beer belly to come with me to Fest.

Ah-haha!

Hey, add me to this list. I may (or may not?) need to tack on to a friendly car of Chicago Festers. Last time with two people driving 16 hours straight...let's just say, it was shitty.
And! I'm female!
And! From the Sock Drawer. Things keep fallin' in to place.

My band is going down from the south side of Chicago, and we're more than likely driving in Shitbox, our Ford Econoline 150 cargo van.

While everything is up in the air right now, we'd probably be more than happy to throw in some stragglers for some extra gas money.

This word jumped out at me before I read your whole post and I was pretty sure it was going to be the name of your new band.

Maybe someday, but as it stands, it's the moniker lovingly bestowed upon our van.

I think "Shitboxer" might be a better band name.

Allie! I would say come with me but I'm going to be in Erie...boo.

Okay, my group of people going to Fest has dwindled down from 5 to 3.
Ergo, We have room for 1 (or 2, depending on if you really want to sit in a car with 5 people).
Im coming from the Elgin-ish area.

Dibs? I can bring a case or something for pit stops...I also don't mind if we have 5 in the car, if other people don't...Tigerclub?

Seat is all yours, and Tigerclub's, that is, assuming she wants it..

Sweet. Thanks.
