"les savy fav will be at SXSW during this"

It wouldn't be the first time something that supports 826NYC was hyped up.

I was told there was a mix up with dates. In Syd Butler's place is Amber Webber from Black Mountain. Sorry Syd Butler fans.

Hyped? The last tour 826NYC did certainly deserved the hype. All those names together and raising a ton of $ for charity. Yeah, helping kids learn to read and write is totally over-hyped.
