Upcoming In Austin: - Events I'm Looking Forward To

Hi!

The last week or so has been hectic due to a fun-filled, yet exhausting, round the UK tour (the picture above is me in Edinburgh). There is now much boxing up and packing away to be done as we move all my stuff to my parents house for a while. I also have my bachelor party this Saturday and we leave for Austin on the 16th, yay!

Things I Am Currently Looking Forward To In Austin

Fun Fun Fun Fest!
November 7 + 8, 2009


This looks amazing especially on the back of one Final Fantasy performance at the festival a while back that Holly showed me, which features a cover a Destroyer song called 'An Actor's Revenge' which is pretty brilliant.

Most of the line-up is yet to be announced but I think they already have me at Atlas Sound and Jesus Lizard.

Fantastic Fest
September 24-October 1, 2009

Last year's Fantastic Fest had Paul Rudd introduce a special screening of Role Models, and Bill Murray made an appearance at the first audience screening of The City Of Ember. The festival is is billed as "an eight day festival of the best new Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy and genre films, as well as choice classic and obscure cult titles from all over the world". It hosts writers, directors and actors, both well established and unknown. There are also some special screenings presented by Ain't It Cool News founder Harry Knowles. Enough to make all my film buff friends at home supremely jealous, so well deserving of the title 'fantastic' then!

PS
As a farewell to the small music festivals of the UK I have enjoyed so much I am going to have people write festival diaries for the blog. If you are interested in doing this then let me know.
