Well, sort of. I’ll be introducing Plain Meanness on Friday night at Sam’s Town Point. They’re playing with The Archibalds, so that should be a fun, Adios Lounge-friendly event. Other than that, though, I’m just another SX attendee.
Here’s the AL agenda for Thursday and Friday. Saturday’s still up in the air, but I’ve listed the day parties and showcases that are on my radar. First choices listed first, second second, etc. Hope to see you out and about.

Featuring Claude Bernard of The Gourds on vocals and guitar (pictured right), The Tinys rock def jams about World War III, the greatness of Sea Island Shrimp House, and shaving your mama’s ass. Yes, as a matter of fact, they are available for kid’s parties.
