Doing the math, it appears many of these bands are getting 20-25 min sets?

Its super nice of that church to let you do it -- I can't think of a venue here that would go for this, at least not without being paid a lot to do it. :|

In any case, it's an interesting concept. I'll be curious to hear how it works out.

i am way nervous about it. this is my first time doing something this huge. and it's 30 minute sets. the acoustic openers get 20 minutes each. the last two bands get 45. we're having two separate p.a. setups. but yeah. i will definitely let you know how it works out.

i basically just went to mass ska raid, ska weekend, punkskaving, and block party in the past year, and figured "hey. i wanna try that."

AARON THIS IS SOOO CLOSE.

Also it feels a little like stalking since it appears I am following you forum to forum.
