I’ll spend most of Saturday in and out of different venues basically. Following my nose as most of the bands on Saturday I’ve never heard of. I’m definitely going to check out Project Lodge at some point as I absolutely love that venue. I am also going to try to get in to see Killdozer and/or Flosstradamus.
You’ll see me running around with my awesome new LOMO LC-A camera. Expect fun pictures on Foward Music Fest flickr group sometime next week.
