hmmm...I was gonna give you suggestions but they all are probably already playing. This is why it's the Fest! Might as well bring down the Mountain Goats and Riverboat Gamblers though. Shit is gonna be golden.
On second thought, if you have to deal with an agent for the Gamblers you might as well inquire about the Rentals. If they were to play shit would be golden and tight!

Whiskey Sunday, Ringers and Drunken Boat I believe all want to play. I know Whiskey Sunday has been trying to get ahold of yo' ass. In non-me related bands I say that Floor should play, a reunited Bent Outta Shape because breaking up is for poindexters, Off With Their Heads, The Ghost of Waylon Jennings, This is My Fist, as many Japanese bands as can come over, Jonathan Richman, Paul Westerberg and I'm sure everyone else I could want to play will be there. Seriously though...try to get Paul.

I'd love to see Shitty Shirley and the Nannies
also Sentimental Stew
and Spoke

Seriously though we need an old school stage with Spoke/Radon/Alex Ulloa all stars/Grinch/Clairmel/Bombshell and special issues of Ovum Power and Dick Magazine.

load up an entire venue full of miami bands

torche, shitstorm, consular and dukes!
