It's finally here: Pickathon officially starts today (although there was a special secret show from Fruit Bats and Breathe Owl Breathe in the barn for those who bought an early admission ticket). The Mercury crew is heading out there shortly, and hopefully you will be, too. But if you couldn't make it or afford it or just plain hate leaving the house, there is an HD audio/video stream that you can tune into all weekend, starting at 4 pm today. The link to the stream is here (it's not live yet) and it's also on Seattle's KEXP. I caught a peek of the closed-circuit video last night and it does indeed look fab; the web broadcast promises to be very high quality as well.

The schedule for the broadcast appears after the jump. See you on the farm!
