Bon Iver Was Robbed

Sometimes the lamest things happen to the nicest people. Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, should be having the time of his life right now -- he's the toast of SXSW, with all four shows he's played packed to capacity. Unfortunately, a thief had to come in and ruin Justin's good time. On Thursday afternoon, someone stole Justin's beige fanny pack from the green room at the Parish while he was playing an NPR show. The pack contained all his cash, his specially-made earplugs, his passport, and other forms of ID and credit cards. The timing of this is especially lame because Justin will be heading to Europe next month, and J.I. can say form experience that rush passports are not cheap.

If you see the fanny pack or any of Justin's IDs floating around Austin (or anywhere else for that matter), please call the Austin PD at 512-974-5000. -- Cortney Harding
