For several reasons, I'm thinking that PSF is going to fall far short of my expectations. Day 1 will probably reign superior, but I have a lot of doubts about Day 2. A lot of people are wondering why we didn't keep it at Dave's house on Pleasant Street. The reasons should be obvious enough: when there are bands coming from all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire, they're probably not going to be happy that they came all that way, just to play at a little garage to a whopping 4 or 5 people, outside the other bands. Plus, at Exit 23, it holds the same small-venue charm, involves no spending, not to mention that all the bands get paid. It would be fun to have another show at Dave's garage again, now that we've gotten better/more popular. Although Olivia may have her objections to that, haha. In any case, you should go to Pleasant Street Fest anyway.

I posted the links to mp3s and stuff so people might listen and like the bands and maybe go. Hint hint. HINT HINT.
Finally, don't forget that all this is happening This Friday, May 21st and This Saturday, May 22nd at Club Exit 23 (246 Winter St., Haverhill, MA) with doors opening at 7:30 PM for $5. Please go, if only to humor everyone who set this up (mostly me).
