Austin Sound

The Fun Fun Fun Fest is quickly rolling upon us, to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 7-8 in Waterloo Park. We doubt Transmission has C3’s budget for re-sodding, so we’re hoping for good weather for their sake! But even if the weather continues to suck, it will be an awesome Fest, and they just announced their aftershows so you can catch plenty of music in the dry, warm confines of a club. The shows will be rolling all down Red River, taking up the Mohawk (obviously), Club DeVille, Red 7, Beerland, and the ever-misnomered Beauty Bar (seriously, beauty may be subjected, but that hipster runoff is far from anyone’s idea of good-looking!). The aftershows also include special screenings at the Alamo Ritz hosted Mission of Burma and Youth Brigade! Kickass! Below is the full lineup of aftershows, the whens and wheres and whats - the whys are left up to you.

In other FFFFun news, if you haven’t been following them on Twitter or checking their website, they have tons of awesome contests and whatnots. Our favorite is an essay contest to win two passes and two fest posters. Oh, they will also publish your essay online, which really isn’t a prize as much an open invitation to be mocked (trust us, we know!). You have five topics to choose from, all of which are hilariously fantastic.

1. Why you, of all people, deserve to win anything…especially FFF tickets and recognition.

2. A riveting story of what you would do to gain said passes to said weekend of rock.

3. An fictitious account of your life growing up with David Yow, and the dance crew that you started in high school.

4. Why Graham Williams (grand chancellor of booking) is your hero and should be respected, much like the Dalai Lama.

5. Why music festivals are stupid, and what you think we should all do instead.

The deadline for your essay is this Friday, October 16. More info here. And to think that your English teacher said you’d never amount to shit.
