I might go. Last year was the only year I didn't go, thanks to (A) being broke during most of the time the three day passes were availible, and (B) the hurricane brouhaha that prevented me from evacuating to Austin @ the last minute.

Of the years I went, only the first had really hot weather.

The schedule is out.

Yay on Cat Power and The Shins. And I'd like to see Apollo Sunshine but I'm clueless about Benevento-Russo Duo.
