Three Miraculous Days of Ladyfest September 21-23

GET INTO IT PEOPLE. Jesus Krust, the magic just does not stop in du Bucket. September 21-23 Machines With Magnets is being overtaken by sixty hundred rippingly meffed up bands, all of whom associate or ally themselves with ladies or ladydom, counterbalanced by kewl workshops and know-how seshes to boot. For a full moment to moment schedule, get thee to the internet, but trust me, there's no fluff in this marshmellow. I think you're picking up what I'm putting down. Perhaps I could interest you in...
