Tomorrow morning, I ship off to the airport to catch the earliest flight to San Francisco to attend the second annual Outside Lands Festival. It's always nice to experience a new festival, but my main attraction is the city that will encompass OSL all weekend. Between Haight-Ashbury, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, and every other attraction I've yet to see, I'm afraid I might miss some of the festival just trying to get it all in. Speaking of the festival, I'm looking forward to catching headliners Pearl Jam and Tenacious D for the first time, as well another showing from one of my all-time fav's, Dave Matthews Band. On top of Pearl Jam on Friday, the day will find me witnessing sets from Akron/Family, Built To Spill, The Dodos, The National, Q-Tip and Tom Jones among others. DMB's support on Saturday includes The Dirtbombs, Extra Golden, Street Sweeper Social Club, Portugal. The Man, Mastodon, Os Mutantes, Bat For Lashes, TV on the Radio, Conor Oberst & the Mystic Valley Band and Deerhunter. Jack Black and Kyle Gass' Sunday night festival closing set will be preceded by performances from Other Lives, Atmosphere, The Avett Brothers, The Dead Weather, Modest Mouse, Ween, M.I.A. and Band of Horses and several others on the festival's seven stages.

I will be tweeting all day everyday from the festival and its many aftershows, so feel free to follow me. Also, YouTube will be live streaming several sets all weekend for those who can't make the trek to the Bay Area. To those that will be in attendance, I hope to see you there!
