Regional fests Pygmalion and Earthdance 2009

If fall road-trips are your thing—and I'm taking my second of the month tomorrow—you might want to look into the Pygmalion Music Festival, which kicked off Wednesday night and runs through Saturday in Champaign-Urbana, IL to the delight of ten thousand college freshman at University of Illinois. Sorry for the late notice—better put the pedal to the metal. Saturday highlights include a Parasol Records stage with Horse's Ha and sets from YACHT, the Hood Internet and RJD2 on the Canopy Club stage.

Later in the month, near Iowa City, the psy-trance collective gathers for Earthdance 2009—there's loads of info on Chilluminati's website.
