Oh my... I just squealed like a lil girl (ok, that happens more often than you think... but this time it was extra girly).

OK, I'm coming up with a plan as I type this. Options include:

1. Going to this Lollapalooza thing with a protective shield against the 65% of the bands on the bill I've vowed to never share airspace with.
2. Find the other shows that Los Campesinos are going to be at while they are in the states and go to all of those.
3. Start a nonprofit fund to bring them to Seattle to play what will be one of my favorite imaginary showcases of all time.

Ok, I'm off to draw a decision-making spreadsheet to pro/con these options.

Seriously... have you guys heard Los Campesinos? If you're not smitten after a couple listens there's nothing I can do for you.

And I don't hate all festivals, only the American ones. UK, Australian and Icelandic festivals rock my socks off. I also enjoy a good craft fair.
