We’ve heard that some of you out there that read our website are interested in something coming up called “the Fest.” Apparently it’s the 6th year where a whole bunch of bands head to Gainesville, Florida, and proceed to play their hearts out to a couple thousand sweaty people.

• Fest pass
• Fest shirt
• Fest coosie
• Fest skatedeck
• Fest poster
• Lunch at Leornardo’s By the Slice for all three days.
• Fest 3 DVD
• and if you are 21 and drink Tony Weinbender will buy you a cold one/shot combo when Seaweed is playing. If you aren’t, you’ll give it to one of the Org staff present.

Sounds nice, don’t it? All you have to do is fill out the form below and wait a week. Act quickly, as we only will be running this baby for one week.

For those wondering: yes, you’ll have to attend said Fest-ivities to claim your prizes. So make sure you can actually make it to Florida.
