Pictures of my sweet festival staff pass - getting ready to head downtown for the first night of shows. What's to look forward to? The biggest band of the night is probably Vancouver's Ladyhawk (Jagjaguwar Records) and i may try to catch them at the Picador late this evening, but my primary destination is the Yacht Club where These United States (DC, former U of Iowa student) is playing along with Cartright. Let the chaos begin.
