It's pretty depressing that Noisefest 2009 is going on RIGHT NOW and this is the first year I am unable to attend or participate in any way. But, there simply wasn't a way to swing it this year.

Good luck to noisepimp, vanillatray, and the old gang.

This FRIDAY Sept. 26th at 7 pm at MOVIES on a BIG SCREEN in West Sacramento is the premiere of NORCAL NOISEFEST 2007: THE MOVIE, which is highlights of last year's performances. Since it's only five bucks, it's a good way to check out what Noisefest is all about, before THIS year's fest (October 10th through 12th ( Read more... )
