Happy St. Pat’s Day, and I hope you’re wearing green. This is a photo of a California native plant called miner’s lettuce that is growing in our yard. Yes, it’s edible.

Here is the schedule for the second day of my fantasy trip to SXSW 2009. I don’t know how I could be more obsessive about this even if I were actually going.

Most of the listed performances that are scheduled before 8:00 PM are unofficial. If you are using my fantasy day posts as a real-life guide, be sure to double-check that these shows are actually happening.

Start the day with these throwbacks to 80s shoegaze laced with even older Ramones and surf-rock.
