to knit or not to knit

pitchfork has posted times for the bands to play the festival this weekend, it seems doable.
my stupid work heel-injury is flaring up a bit which sucks.
here's saturday's schedule:
9:10-Silver Jews
8:10-The Futureheads
7:10-The Walkmen
6:10-Ted Leo & Rx
5:10-Art Brut
4:20-Destroyer
3:30-Mountain Goats
2:35-Band of Horses
2:00 - Man Man
1:30-Chin Up Chin Up
1:00-Hot Machines

hot machines and chin up chin up i really know nothing about so don't really care if i miss. man man i *can not* miss...band of horses i'm ambivilant about, but i've never seen the mountain goats so yes. bring on those lovely freaks.
i'd like to see destroyer and art brut's always good for a laugh, then there's my boy ted. and the futureheads and walkmen i'd anticipate annoying crowds so maybe i'll stay for the silver jews. i'm pretty sure i will.
*then* there's sunday....
9:10-Os Mutantes
8:10-Spoon
7:10-Yo La Tengo
6:10-Devendra Banhart
5:10-Mission of Burma
4:20-Aesop Rock/Mr. Lif
3:30-Liars
2:35-The National
2:00-Jens Lekman
1:30-Danielson
1:00-Tapes 'n Tape

in the battle of the city of chicago V. tapes'n tapes (what's up with all the repetitive names in this anyway?)+danielson +jens Lekman +the national +the (stinky) liars +aesop rock....chicago beats them all. face down, hands tied all that shit.

so for the second time in as many weeks i will see mission of burma.
awesome.
and then drink some water during devandra farthart. and then back to the rock with yo la tengo and the whole reason i'm going os mutantes.

that's a lot of music. i've never been to a festival like this and i'll admit, i'm nervous. being in a city i've never been in at an outdoor festival i'm not running....i'm totally out of my comfort zone.

weird. i should learn to relax and enjoy the ride.
hey, speaking of enjoying the ride- should i take knitting on the plane or no? just finish reading the books i have in rotation now and not deal with yarn and needles (plastic) and counters and patterns on the plane?
something tells me the person next to me would prefer it if i don't knit....
