Sorry I know I already sent a message to NF about this but I cannot take the name “Sons of Chipotle” seriously in any way.

He explained where it came from at the show and it’s nothing do with the American Chipotle.

Of course. It is still a stupid ass name.

Got my survey link. I just asked that they ban sang_xcx.

You used yours a lot more wisely than mine. I just begged for Michael Rother and “the other Eno”.

I asked them to book Foo Fighters.

I actually just put Patrick Shiroishi in for requested artists. Aside from The Armed, his solo stuff is right up the Big Ears alley.

Every year I ask for Björk. Doubt it'll ever happen but if it does you have me personally to thank

Back in 2019 I approached Capps and told him they needed to get Zorn. Anything can happen.

Reading through all y'all's posts gives me serious FOMO. Glad y'all had a blast!

Alright here's the whole weekend wrap-up.

Let me know if y'all find any typos. That's so many words I can't look at it anymore.

Id never heard of Dos Fuegos and they're cool as hell, great writeups throughout!

Really hope Capps can pull Nils Frahm for 2025.

I’m over here hoping for a Dirty Three appearance and I’d never thought I’d say that in 2024.

[Nathan Fieldcяab]

Sadly think the deadline for those surveys already passed but I'd be all over this

The rumor is that it's Sam Gendel on sax, so this seems within the realm of possibility!

From this morning's email:

"We’ve had an extraordinary response to our survey of this year’s festival. We, along with the team at Angelou Economics, will be compiling and analyzing your responses as we plan for Big Ears 2025 and beyond. Thank you!

Official dates for Big Ears 2025 will be announced soon, in just two to three weeks. Stay tuned for details via our newsletter and social media. We anticipate announcing the initial lineup and program for 2025 in September and will offer passes for sale at that time. Special pre-sales for donors and previous festival pass purchasers will take place prior to the public on-sale.

The decision to cap Big Ears attendance has been successful in helping to enhance the overall experience for all who attended. We have no plans to increase the size or number of passes sold in 2025 and will continue to focus on creating the optimal festival experience for all."

I think we can make an educated guess on the next set of dates... here's the costs of a King Bed ("View") room @ the downtown Hyatt:

3/19 - 3/24: $199/night
3/26 - 3/31: $538/night
4/2 - 4/7: $199/night

It's your birthday weekend?! Well that explains the price jump! If I can afford a room, I'll buy you a drink

While I’m simping for Jim White, let’s add this Beings, too.

A month out and I’m already working on my wishlist.
