For drakemonger: the hotel has a free shuttle from the Mall of America, which is eminently busable. I would try calling the hotel to find out about shuttle frequency, if I were you.

I am getting so sick of being half-sick I could scream. What is up with this nonsense?

In better news, I now have a new soundtrack to my life: a loud and constant purring.

Oh, and since I forgot to answer you on Sunday:

Country-punk, otherwise known as alt-punk, insurgent country, or (my favorite) honky-skronk, is a 21st-century outgrowth of "American" roots music, from country to blues to Appalachian to gospel and beyond. It embraces the concept of homemade, working class song and renounces the pop-country machine. It adores Hank Williams, ignores his son, and approves of his grandson.

Bloodshot Records is a premier genre label; I think they coined the term "insurgent country."

I would be delighted to share some of my recordings with you if you're interested.

(Of course, by now you've probably looked it up and have a totally different answer. I didn't bother looking it up, but I think I will now.)

Hmm, that sounds quite interesting. If it's convenient, I think that I will take you up on that offer come Applecon-time.

Out of curiosity, would Ridley Bent fall under this, or is he too "out there" for even this designation?

(And as much as I would like to look it up, I don't think I shall. I'd rather discover the genre through personal introduction rather than impersonal marketing.)
