An empty space. Taken hostage all weekend by a galaxy of insane talent and uber supportive friends and family. For real, only good vibes here.

Thanks first and foremost to all the bands that played to bring money to the and help fund their transition into the new theater.

Thanks to all you wonderful beautiful people who showed up and danced your asses off especially those insane 3 Day Passers who were there all weekend ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you to Joe and Jamie who organized, setup and tirelessly worked the merch booth; We love you guys!

Thanks to for generously providing and running all sound; you guys are wonderful people! Gary and Richie are hero status.

Thank you and all you other pic-takers for documenting the whole weekend on camera.

Thank you for promoting and DJing the weekend (and being an earpiece leading up to the event)

Thank you for buying pizza for the bands and being so ever generous & supportive of the local artistic community.

Thanks to Empty Space volunteers and ESPECIALLY for dealing with a neurotic wacko the past couple months. I love you more than the dogs.

We’ll be releasing photos and videos now that the dust has settled. But damn, WHAT A WEEKEND ❤️❤️❤️
