i've done this once already - get with it

It's countdown time - at least for the coordinators of the 1st Annual Norman Music Festival (which I am now officially referring to as Maverik). This Saturday 26 April! Upwards of 30 bands playing on/at something like 4 or 5 venues. Pedestrian traffic only on the Garner Corridor Arts District. Free beer. No, not really. Food and drink vendors - including 6 dollar vegetarian Frito Chili Pie, drink and a rice crispy treat at the Opolis. Band merch at Guestroom. All in all, I'm not real sure how you can live anywhere near Norman town and not spend your day at the festival. It's free for cryin' out loud.
See you at Maverik!
