EDIT -- Originally I started this post in order to say ♥ Many Happy Returns ♥ to cis but somehow... XD BETTER LATE BY EIGHTEEN MINUTES (MY TIME) THAN NEVER.

I could talk about school (is Accounting 101 always taught in the form of epistemological inquiry?), or I could talk about ROCK'N'ROLL.

I've bolded the sets I definitely want to attend, and asterisked the acts I've never heard (or, if I've heard them, I can't mentally conjure up what they sound like). If you feel any of these bands are worth checking out, let me know! :Dv Saturday afternoon especially is wide open. I'm super-hyped about M.I.A. (the last time she made it to North America her Montreal show with LCD Soundsystem sold out before I got wind of it), and bitter about whoever scheduled Au Revoir Simone at the same time as Martha Wainwright.** I'll also at least check out the big-name acts, just for the hell of it. XD



** If you pay 150$ for tickets to a two-day music festival, during which you can expect to catch a maximum of 8 sets per day (let's say), and two of the acts you want to catch have a scheduling conflict, and on any other given day you would be willing to pay up to 30$ to see either, what is the opportunity cost in dollars of attending one set to the detriment of the other? I'm not sure, but I'm haunted by the thought that it may be on my Economics final.
