@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

Olympia, WA --hecka rad indie fest

Anyone in the NW should check this:::-sailor


Hello everyone!

Welcome to the special YEAH! FEST! version of the KRS newsletter.

We've been busy, busy, busy over here working on the festival and
wanted to update you on what's been going on.  The schedule has been
announced (see below), the passes are on sale, we are still working
on adding about 10 more bands, and it's just around the corner!

==================
WHAT IS YEAH! FEST! ?
==================

YEAH! FEST!
a bands against bush event
September 10-12, 2004
Olympia, WA @ Eagle's Hall (corner of 4th and plum)

At some point we had this idea that we could rent out the ENTIRE
Eagles Hall in downtown Olympia for an ENTIRE weekend for a big
party. The mini-fest was born. Then it turned into the YEAH! FEST!.
We were thinking something to benefit the community, bands, and a
couple charities. SO, it's the YEAH! FEST!, a three day party that
will include three floors of continuous bands Friday night, Saturday
afternoon and night, and Sunday afternoon commencing with a dance
party Sunday night along with art shows, possible workshops and
spoken word.

Other things will happen besides just rock bands too - there will be
art exhibited and a dance. Kill Rock Stars is a major sponsor of this
event, but not the only sponsor.

All profits after paying the bands and expenses will go to Safeplace
http://www.safeplaceolympia.org/ and the
League of PISSED OFF voters
http://www.indyvoter.org/


============
THE SCHEDULE:
============

Okay, to make sense of the info below you have to remember that the
festival is being held in one building, the Eagle's Hall, where there
are three stages (basement, top floor, and the ballroom).  We will be

so you can see some of all of the sets if you wish.

PASSES
=======

Come out and join us! This event WILL NOT happen again.  It is a
benefit to raise awareness and money to defeat GWB!  The venues are
intimate (the ballroom is only 209 capacity), so this will be your
chance to see some great bands from all over the world in a cozy
environment.

Your ticket will be a full pass to the entire event.

Pass types:
$50 - "basic full pass" (which will include a goodie bag
and program)
$75 - "full pass plus" (includes the goodie bag and a
"merch pack"
which will include an exclusive T-shirt, a nice CDR compilation of
some of the bands that play the Yeah! Fest!, and other goodies)
$100 - "Supporter" (includes all the other stuff plus good
karma and
a thank you note from the Yeah Fest organizers)
$250 - "Bigtime Supporter" (speaks for itself)

Tickets on sale at Buyolympia

Yeah, I subscribe to the KRS newsletter, and every week it just makes me sad I'm not in or near Olympia.  Oh, the music I'd see.

I have no idea who Biography of Ferns or Mind Your Pig, Latoya are, but just from their names, I love them.

But I would only go to see November Witch if they performed underneath an upside-down cross that dripped blood.

Yeah, there are some excellent band names there and some really reprehensible ones. (This is why I love indie-fests; half the bands have fantastic names, and half of them have "I dunno, let's just call the band something" or super-indier-than-thou names.)

I think my favorite is "People who are Vampires and don't know it yet." It sounds like Beef describing baby-bat embryonic goths.

Yeah, i was involved in the planning and such and i'll be working the door sometimes and other stuff. My band would be playing if we didn't just kick out our singer for being 'tarded.

I was just reading this again, and although I am seven kinds of happy to now be living in a big city where bands play, I would sell my soul to live in a city where I could see Xiu Xiu, the Decemberists, the Gossip and Submission Hold in the same day, although presumably it is for the best, since I would probably die of geeky happiness.
Have fun, sailor.

Looks like a fun fest.  

Not that it needs extra publicity or anything, but in the future, people, let me know about these things you're involved in at least a month in advance, and I'll help spread the word.  An extra few million eyes can't hurt, no?

Good point. I wasn't all jumpy about it on this board cos' I think i'm the sole NW'ster up in this shizzit. i posted a thread long ago asking y'all if we were in the same 'hood and got little response.

BUT I KNOW YOU ARE WITH ME IN SPIRIT.

and if anyone is actually planning to go, we just added day passes, so you don't hafta pay $50 to see just one night of shows.

God damn, I picked a shitty time to leave Seattle, didn't I.  The weather sucks here (in Middle of nowhere, MO), I'd have to drive 100 miles to see any band, and now I'm missing this bad boy of a fest.  Stupid adult responsibilities...

Looks like a good time, though.  Have some fun on my behalf.  Please?

Oh, and yeah, there's not a large NW US contingent on this board.  Nabubrush, when he's around, and maybe a couple a folks in ID.

Nabu!  I miss Nabu.

Is there any way I can get a tshirt from Mind Your Pig, Latoya?  Cost is almost no object.  Don't tell me they don't have a tshirt, or I will lose all faith in America.

I, too, might be willing to pay for shirts from "People who are Vampires and don't know it yet," "Biography of Ferns," or "Anna Oxygen." I need indie cred, plus the names are rad.
