What the Heck Fest

Is anyone going to What the Heck Fest? If so, we should coordinate our efforts.  That is, we should share a camp spot and make sure that we don’t all try to put our bikes on the same bus in Victoria.  You can go if you don’t have a bike: you can take public transit in Anacortes, although it doesn’t run on Sundays.

Leave a comment and we’ll arrange shit.

We’re going to go over Saturday morning and come back Monday. These are the two shows that I’m most excited about at What the Heck:
