Mark your calendars! Unless the city forces us to change dates at the last minute again, this year's Spring Crawl date is slated for Saturday, April 28.
That is being decided upon right now. Having an outdoor stage is expensive and the permitting is a pain in the ass. Last year, we had some issues concerning city police manpower being insufficient, and we were, in essence, forced to pull the plug at the last minute. I would like to have an outdoor stage, at least for the Spring Crawl.

Outside stages are awsome... But close quarters with the crowd is even better! Playin outside rocks, we played last sprin crawl on the mainstage! It kicked ass... thanks Joe! Looking forward to playin again this year!
I have two musical monkeys with 8&1/2" cocks that hum the "William Tell Overture" while I loop'de'loop thru a ring of fire while resting comfortably in an easy chair propelled by a sling apparatus powered by pure adrenaline harvested while I smoke Crack Cokaine...is this enough to secure a spot at the world's greatest gig? Who is the "National" band this year??? David Hasselhoff y Los Jesterz? GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME!

If you can do that, roofus, I don't care what national acts are playing. Who would? Just so long as you aren't playing at the same time as either of my bands(if we get picked) so that A) I can go and see it and B) so you don't leave us with a dry house, what with anyone with any sense being at your show.
That being said, and if they are still around, the only national act that could compete with such a spectacle as you have described here would be Wonderbus, a punk rock band comprised entirely of retarded individuals who play songs with titles like "Warmth of My Own Piss" and "I Got My Pants On (all by myself)". Also, they are reported to force the drummer to run in a giant hamster wheel while being force fed hot dogs to the point of vomiting.
We're trying to wrangle in a couple nationals at this point. We're also hoping the city is fair with us this crawl. Wishlists are in and once we situate appropriate slots for nationals (IF they confirm), we'll wrap it up. Hang tight and get ready for an event of mediocre proportions.
