Updated with a more complete lineup and the first announced showcase. From what I've heard, the rest of the showcases promise to be fucking solid.

Yeah I couldn't find it searching for "decibel" either, I used "seattle"

___________________

I've updated the showcase list to include all announced/official showcases. My schedule for the weekend looks like this...

Thursday: Sweatbox Showcase + super secret squirrel afters.
Friday: Running back and forth across the street between Latenight Renegades and Dirty Dancing, followed by The Deep End.
Saturday: I'll be helping my good friends at the Disko Casse showcase, then will get down and dirty at The Deep End #2.
Sunday: dB Finale, duh.

I'll be working with setup and transportation during the day that weekend, but if I get any chance to break free I plan on hitting up the Ghostly showcase at the Art Museum on Thursday, Pan Ambient Cascadia on Saturday (because Gel-Sol is the fucking man), and dB in the Park on Sunday.

If you're still on the fence, COME. End of story.

idoru and the rest of you i'll see you there
