I think the smudged/dirty look of the "just-torn-out-of-a-sketchbook" paper is really appropriate. I love the way you sketched the guy up top and your eye follows a definite path from the upper left to the bottom right. My suggestions would be to get rid of some of the underlining, particularly under the date and location. And in the section of text that is meant to resemble the guitar hitting the ground (the "Austin City limits hosts a 3 day..." part and the "Will you be there?" part), the order in which I am supposed to read the lines of information becomes kind of mixed up and my eye kind of has to jump from one line to the next to complete the sentences. It also leaves the call to action lost in the mix when it should probably stand out more. I also think that having the section in which you thank the sponsors be its own separate dilatational element becomes kind of distracting. Since it's the only type on the poster that isn't handwritten, I think it's ok to separate it from the rest of the design by just letting it be a straight line of text that goes along the bottom of the page. Cool Poster!
