[uncle eggma]

seeing ramblin' jack elliot and then a hawk and a hacksaw...wow, that would be amazing.

[lou2ser]

If anyone can suggest a cheap (less than $200) recorder that sounds decent I'll bootleg a bunch of the shows.

I updated my blog with the E6 bands at SxSW. Please let me know if I missed anything. (There were a lot of bands I wanted to include that weren't E6, but then, it saved me work to not have to.)

Thanks lou2ser, I will try to get more dates up.

[lou2ser]

No problem. I'd do the research, but work is kicking my ass this week. Check band's homepages, myspaces, label pages, etc for the extra shows, or email the band directly and ask them.

[el topo]

Oh, I'm working on it, it just takes time to catch up. Thanks again.
