We here at Relative Theory and The Boot have done a great deal in celebration of this community and Hampton Roads, but alas it seems we’ve forgotten to really honor this great nation we live in. So not to be mistaken for Anti-Federalists, we’re opening The Boot Monday July 2nd (that’s right, Monday) for a special Boot Almost Independence Day Extravaganza! Headlining the festival will be Chris Staples’ (ex-twothirtyeight) appropriately named indie rock act Discover America. Discover America hails from Seattle with cool americana indie-rock with roots in Yo La Tengo, Neil Young, and a little bit of Weezer. They played Relative Theory a year and a half ago and made a great night for the 85 people that came out, so don’t miss your second chance to catch this wonderful act. Traveling with Discover America is Ohio’s State Bird, playing multi-instrumental pop in the vein of Islands and Unicorns. I am yet to experience them live but judging by their myspace I am very excited. More details to come on specific aspects of the extravaganza (will their be prizes? Barbecue? Sno-Cones? Fireworks? Revolutionary War Reenacments? Who knows! We plan last-minute at The Boot!). So clear your monday night plans, because if you don’t show up to this, not only have you missed out, but everyone will know that You, yes you, Hate America.
“The Boot Almost Independence Day Extravaganza! is the best idea to come from Virginia ever! That and the three-cornered hat…we did invent the three cornered hat, right? Man, what a great hat.” -George Washington (not Carver), a Founding Father
