i think i remember them playing a new song at Maxwells last year. could be wrong. beer was involved.

Yeah, they did play a new song at Maxwell's last year. I have video of it somewhere.

that's such bullshit. they did the same thing with the devil and god black press and the copeland 180g for medicine tree and in motion. this is just something they do

Yeah, it's a giant conspiracy! AFS sat on this box of records just so they could put them up for the exact same price months later. Such a scam. :

I'm almost always against capital punishment. Like Flood said, it isn't a deterrent and there is too strong a possibility that the person is innocent.

With that said, here's one case that I have no sympathy for: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/21/texas-death-row-inmate-executed/

never been to a borders....i guess they don't exist in the south

That's kind of a broad assumption; you haven't been to one, therefore, they don't exist.

Got the Smogtown and Junk records today. Can't wait to spin them.

....still no reply.

Have you tried calling the number you posted or calling their office?

Office number: (347) 599-1855

Might have to snag one of these. I still get urked at all the represses MTS does. Haters gone hate.

Yeah, making available records that people want is stupid. It's not like they're running a business or anything.

So stoked for these releases! Also, that Drips 7" is pretty awesome. Probably the only stuff of theirs not on White Drugs.

I love the Drafthouse. Too bad the one I frequent in San Antonio has such bright lights at their tables, I don't think I could see if someone was texting if I wanted to.

Got my ticket today. Gonna have to wait to book the hotel room though.

^^^ Oh yeah, the Cove. I used to work down the street from there. Great fish tacos! They used to have live wrestling there too.

I don't know what people expect when they go to see the Alamo that would make it such a let down.

The thing about it is, when you see it in history books or wherever, it never shows the big buildings around, or the Ripleys Believe it Or Not Museum facing it. The other missions just seem a lot more legit.

That's understandable. To me it's a symbol of sacrifice; people willing to give their lives for Texas and its independence from Mexico.

There are the obvious touristy things to check out in SA: the Alamo, River Walk, Tower of the Americas, any of the other missions. There's also Market Square (El Marcado) downtown.

San Antonio is really spread out, so if you want to venture outside of downtown, you'll definitely need a car.

For records, check out Hogwild - 1824 North Main

North St. Mary's has some cool bars with live music most nights

To eat - there are tons of little taquerias around the downtown area, all of which will have amazing mexican food. There are a few restaurants on the River Walk that are good, but are usually really expensive. There's a place on the east side of downtown called Pico de Gallo that has some really good food.

I'd use Yelp and see what's good close to where you're staying.

From the AFS newsletter sent earlier today:

Lakers definitely had the Spurs number today. But the Spurs are still 2-1 over the Lakers this season.

aw man....one day only this year?

Yeah, kinda lame. But I plan on going to the shirts for a cure and fat showcases on Friday, so it kinda works out.

Mess With Texas lineup announced

http://mwtxparty.com/

Does a family with 4 small children like the one across the street from me need to register all the bikes in their family? What if you sell a bike? Pass one down to a sibling? Give it to a cousin? Does it have to be re-registered? Does this only apply to bikes that will be ridden in the street? Road bikes? Mountain bikes? BMX bikes?

Do bikes need a VIN? One of the intentions of this bill is to deter bike theft, though I imagine the plates will be removable.

This just seems unnecessary.

I can skateboard down the street, too. Does that need a license? What about my roller blades? Some of my friends still scooter, those need registration? There's wheels in those Heelie shoes, someone should probably be forced to register those with some plates.

I see kids riding motor-scooters and mini-bikes that actually DO have motors.. shouldn't those be forced to register first? They aren't now.

I don't have a problem with this bill at all. I can't speak for upstate, but in NYC, a lot of bicyclists ride around with little regard for anyone else (cars, pedestrians, etc). Here's an interview with the guy who introduced the bill and why he feels the bill is needed:

http://gothamist.com/2011/02/28/bike_license_assemblyman_envisions.php

Yeah, they've been trying to initiate this in NYC too. Now maybe hipsters will get pulled over when they run red lights on their bikes.

yeah the 2nd press doesnt seem to be up yet..

2nd pressing is up now

The lineup looks incredible, but with all the complaints of the venues size and the waiting lines from last Fest, I feel like a lot of people will miss the bands they'd really want to see.

I can't speak for other people, but the only venue I had problems getting into was the Atlantic.

The next article on this is coming! First, here is an interview with his bandmate Jon Mess from Dance Gavin Dance on the situation.

Stopped reading at this sentence, "...I would much rather align myself with a more duchampian dadaist philosophy revival, mixed with a post modern anti metanarrative school of thought..."

Pseudo-intellectual garbage

*Edit*

haha great minds think alike
