Reflection Eternal @ Scoot Inn (1:00)
*Something old, something new. Start off the night with Austin's very own Superstar DJs spinning that vintage hip hop and probably some new hot ish. If you see Rodney, give him a pound for me. Again, Rhymesayers representing with Brother Ali, Eyedea and Abilities, newcomers Pacific Division and then finish out the night enjoying one of the three 1:00 options, Reflection Eternal, Camp Lo (!) or Stax legends The Bar Kays (!!). I'd just leave Thursday night, really, because it's all downhill from there.

HISD @ Scoot Inn (10:00)
Mr. Lif @ Pangaea (12:00)
Busdriver @ Back Alley Social (1:15)

Buck 65 @ Scoot Inn (11:00)
Janelle Monae @ Vice (12:00)
Sleep @ Scoot Inn (12:20)
Sage Francis @ Scoot Inn (1:00)
*If you're Dale, just go to the Scoot Inn, find a stool and an attentive bartender. You'll get to enjoy the dopeness of 2Mex and Sleep with Buck65 sprinkled in and finishing up with always nice Sage Francis. Janelle Monae is helladope if you enjoy that funk ish (think Morris Day and the Time meets, uh, Barberella meets early James Brown). Also, if you want to see turntables get completely obliterated, check out the A-Alikes set.
You can thank me later. The Root Down shirts are still available for purchase before you venture out. $5 hand-to-hand, $7 parcel.

Thank you for doing this. I know I said we were going to go heavy on the rock this year but I still want to see Sage. I am for sure going to see Dan A.
I'll See you Friday.
