Apparently competitive eaters, like Kobayashi, eat small amounts of food prior to their huge pig-out session in order to stretch their stomach muscles. It’s no secret that SXSW is right around the corner, but did you know about the two festivals taking place this coming weekend (start tomorrow)?
There is the second annual fundraiser, ‘Harvest of Hope Foundation Music and Arts Festival’, which takes place on March 12-14th and located at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds in St. Augustine, Florida. The line-up includes bands such as: Freelance Whales, Bear in Heaven, Dr. Dog, Broken Social Scene, The Mountain Goats, Rogue Wave, Anti-Flag, Sea Wolf, Delta Spirit, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Dead Confederate, A Wilhelm Scream, Portugal. the Man…and more. Check out the lineup here.
Than there is ‘Foburg’, the music festival organized by The New Orleans Indie Rock Collective that takes place on March 12-14th at Frenchmen St in New Orleans. The line-up includes bands such as: Caddywhompus, My Name Is John Michael, Sun Hotel, The Pharmacy, The Bears of Blue River, The Blue Party, Silent Cinema, Brass Bed…and more.

So if you’re heading to SXSW maybe you can stretch your belly with one of these festivals, and if you’re not descending upon the city of Austin on the 17th, perhaps you can fulfill your appetite with either Foburg or Harvest of Hope.
