'working at the ska fest rules due to free backstage beer :) '


Actualy after the first 1.5 kegs it became a ticketed affair due to amount of freeloaders who were 'with the band' so to speak.. - Sun, 15 Jul 2007 6:25pm Edited: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 12:18am

lol well i was on the sound production crew so i guess i was freeloading the 3 beers after the show i drank while we did teardown...they were just lined up on that table so nicely and everyone was saying HEY ANDREW STOP WORKING AND DRINK SOME BEER..... ~sheds tear~ lol.

and YES it was an amazing show i've been the last 5 years or however many since a year before fishbone and longbeach shortbus came. It's such a cool vibe at the skafest it's one of the best shows that we have over here. i liked the real mckenzies and the st catherines the best. - Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:40pm Edited: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:48pm

what was with the punk rock at the big show - both tight bands and the ten too late shout out made my night -but that had proportionally more punk than the punk show and destroyed the skafest chillness created by j.f.k. and o.n.b. - Mon, 16 Jul 2007 5:28pm

In ways I wish I wasn't going away for the summer as there's sweet ska happening. Hopefully the fall will be just as fruitful... - Mon, 16 Jul 2007 9:26pm Edited: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 9:28pm

YO GEOFF!! WHERE ARE ALL THE REST OF THE PHOTOS BRO?:) I feel like I'm being teased... Cheers to you and Aaron for doing yet another awesome job on the festival!

I wish you could have got photos of the Mad Caddies and me in Van the next day. Those would have been classics:) - Fri, 20 Jul 2007 3:36am Edited: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 3:37am
