While I might not have attended the Free Press Summer Fest this past weekend in Houston's Eleanor Tinsley Park, I certainly made my best effort to live it vicariously through live tweets, YouTube videos and post-show reviews from some of my favorite Houston music blogs. I was half-way across the country seeing my favorite band at one of the most beautiful venues in the world, but as soon as I got home I started surfing the web for as much content about the festival that Omar at Free Press Houston and Jagi at Pegstar put together. Several of my favorites in the indie rock and hip-hop realm performed, including Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the Sky, of Montreal, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Devin The Dude, Octopus Project and Prince Paul. Also performing at the two day event were a bevy of Houston's best acts, including Buxton, Sideshow Tramps, Los Skarnales, The Wild Moccasins, Fat Tony, The Tontons, B L A C K I E and Young Mammals.

Since I can't offer my own review, I decided to round up the best of the festival through the eyes of Houston's music blogging community. Check out a bunch of links to different reviews, videos and photos from the inaugural Free Press Summer Fest after the jump.

Besides the common complaint of intense lines and no water, I heard nothing but good reviews about the event. Hopefully they build upon what they learned this year, and make it that much better for the their next go-around. I'm still pissed at myself for missing it...

Dear Breakfast, My earlier
Dear Breakfast,
My earlier comment was a little rude.
I'm sorry. i was in a pissy mood.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
re: You dropped the ball
I definitely dropped the ball a bit, but as a huge fan of the band Phish, I don't regret my decision. Don't get me wrong, it was a tough decision to make, but I'd already purchased the tickets to see Phish at the Gorge.
Sorry if I offended homey...
