Friday's a little bit tamer than Thursday's schedule - there are eleven showcases to choose from instead of fifteen, but the festival makes up for it with the first of two official after parties at City Hall. Friday's after party is sponsored by Red Bull and features The Dynamites, and I'm pretty sure everyone's going to end up there at the end of the night.
But before that, you've got your work cut out for you deciding what to see. The Cannery has a great lineup - including Kindercastle, Cortney Tidwell, Magic Wands, Paper Route, AutoVaughn and finally Superdrag making a headlining appearance at the end of the night. But the End and Exit/In both have great showcases as well - Skybucket Records at The End will be hosting Through the Sparks, The Dexateens and 13ghosts among a couple of others, and Infinity Cat will take over Exit/In with a crew that includes Cake Bake Betty, Royal Bangs, The Mattoid, Meemaw and JEFF the Brotherhood. Then you have 12th and Porter with Ferraby Lionheart, Tyler James, Kyle Andrews, Butterfly Boucher and even Joe, Marc's Brother. And every other showcase seems tempting too! Damn, I'm glad I still have a few days to figure out my plans for that night.
