Typically I don’t like to comment much on subjects where the press release pretty much covers everything… and today is no different than any other day. Check out the P.R. on this super badass concert below, as well as contest details.
Vestal has teamed up with the FYF Fest to “Save Our State Parks” on September 5th, 2009 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. This year’s festival lineup includes Vestal Featured Artist Black Lips along with Tim & Eric, Lightning Bolt, Lucero, No Age, F*Up, Dios & many, many more.
The goal for this year’s FYF Fest is to provide a low-cost event of great entertainment while raising awareness of the possible closure of up to 100 California State Parks. Due to the recent budget cuts, California State Parks are left without basic funding to keep the parks open. Another aspect of the festival is the Volunteer Program which will place focus on educating the public about local organizations whom are working hard to create a positive change in the community.

Multiple contests, anyone? Hell yea!
CONTEST #1: SUMMER DAYZ ROAD TRIP
This festival started as an idea I had when I was 18 while on a road trip with a group of friends in Fall of 03′. If it wasn’t for that trip I wouldn’t be writing this and the festival wouldn’t be happening. That experience changed my life for the better. In this spirit I want to make it possible for you to come to Los Angeles for the festival, in hopes of you having a similar experience to mine. – Sean Carlson, FYF Fest
