It’s plan-making time again. As it turns out, I have a couple of new ideas to share.

The plans have been laid out for an urgent trip this weekend to Austin for the Cocker Spaniels and The Kominas show on Sunday. Any updates while I’m there will be on from @kaitfoley. I’m hatching a inspired plan for SXSW and think Twitter would help make SXSW a reunion and ecstatic instead of a social media and music clusterfu*k for lack of a better word. From what I hear, right now it sounds more like a zoo – Kominas bring your swords.

Pop Sensation Productions is working hard on a comic book series about how awesome we are and a radio series about underground music. We don’t know if it’s final yet but the first two shows are obvious to us. This is important so listen up. First, Taqwacores and potentially Afropunks too if they’ll entertain the idea with us. The second is about underground rap weirdos like Eyedeas & Abilities. If you haven’t seen the video for “Junk,” MTVU has it here but heed this warning: you’re in for a frenetic conniption of awesome. Sit down, get a glass of water, and enjoy the type of insanity the Midwest incites.

Goodbye Wisconsin!
