Yes yes technically Daniel Johnston lives in Austin, but we wanted to tell you about multiple shows in one post.  The first is your usualy Waterloo in-store starting at 5pm with free keg beer of course.  The second is a more intimate show at St. David’s Episcopal Church(map) with doors opening at 6pm.  Both should be a great opportunity to see a local legend in conert.
