MUSIC FESTIVAL/ AFTER-PARTIES OVERLOAD!

It is almost here- that CRAZY time of the year in Austin when the city gets flooded with out-of-towners and the college kid population is too noticeable. Time to ditch your car and ride bikes! Parking a car will become the biggest pain, because the city is all around overpopulated.
ACL, Fun Fun Fun Fest, and all the "official" and "non-official" after parties that come along with these outside music events, will all be vying for your attention and attendance.

Word of advice: if you want to see some good music and enjoy yourself, make a list of bands you really want to see, then cut that list in half! There is no real way to have a good time hopping from one club to the next (unless you are V.I.P., work at a popular club downtown, or have some special hookup -- if that is the case, you are set). Don't forget to set aside a nice chunk of money to spend as well. It's no fun being broke in a crowded club or field of sweaty people. It is much nicer to be fed and at least a little buzzed -- but DON'T forget to drink lots of WATER as well!

I won't be attending ACL (unless someone wants to throw me one of those V.I.P. passes? anyone? I got one a few years ago and am now ruined...I have vowed to never attend another music festival unless I get one of those badges...)

BUT--HERE ARE SOME AFTER-PARTY SHOWS I RECOMMEND:
Thursday 10/1: **Haunting Oboe Music, Red Leaves, Low Red Land (SF) & The Fever Dreams @ Beerland ($5 cover, 21 & up)

Friday 10/2: **The Raveonettes w/ Here We Go Magic @ The Parish **Deer Tick w/ The Henry Clay People & Alberta Cross @ Emo's

Saturday 10/3: **Grizzly Bear w/ Beach House @ Emo's
