Dear Wall of Sound Festival

I owe you an apology. I kinda suck. And I'm not alone.

Believe it or not, this isn't my job. I do this because it's fun. But I do actually have a pay-the-bills job, and that's what I was doing on Saturday instead of rocking my ass off at LaGrave Field. I figured you'd understand.

But when I go online to find some post-mortem, what do I find? Not freaking much. Most of the coverage came from ... ack ... The Dallas-freaking-News. On moral grounds, I refuse to point readers in that direction. Instead I point you to Hansford and Sammy at Big D little d. And of course, my main man Mike Orren and Pegasus News were on the spot, too.

You can't sling a cat without hitting a music blogger, but can most of them get off their ass and get out to the biggest music thing in Fort Worth all year? Apparently not. And that's just wrong.

So, Wall of Sound, forgive my suckitude. And give me one more chance. Come back next year. It'll be different. Oh, yeah, and as promised, here's my picture of a kitten. Friends?

No Wall of Sound for Me

I'm not going to the Wall of Sound Festival. Wah. Work life intrudes, but you could be the winner. You going? E-mail me your reviews and I'll smash them together into the semblance of a review. Your deadline is 7 p.m. Sunday. If I get nothing, I'm running a photo of a kitten.

Help save Fort Worth from a photo of a kitten. Gimme sumthin.

Wall of Sound Schedule Announced
