On September 26, 2009, the first installment of the DFW rock lottery (last year's Zanzibar-organized event in Denton notwithstanding) took place at the Phoenix Project in Dallas, organized by Aaron Gonzalez (Akkolyte, Yells at Eels, Age of Disinformation). 17 musicians showed up ready to play (mostly by invite), and 4 groupings were drawn, one at a time, mere minutes before the sets were to happen.
The results made for a memorable and exciting evening. Below are the groupings, including Zanzibar Snails Michael Chamy and Nevada Hill, regular contributor Sarah Alexander, and part-time contributors Mike Maxwell and Mark Church (also of the Watchers)
