First Annual Sunny California VIRTUAL CBG & Roots Music Fest ~ February 2nd until ????

You, my friends are cordially invited to the First Annual Sunny California VIRTUAL CBG & Roots Music Fest

(Note: as used here, virtual means IMAGINARY).

This is a potluck meal, so please bring a covered dish. If you can, bring a signature dish from your region, such as fried okra from the American south, tortillas from Mexico, sweet corn from Iowa, Fish and Chips from the U.K. and Vegamite sandwiches from Australia.

Please RSVP and tell us what vehicle you will be driving and what snacks you are bringing. Air Force One takes up a lot of space. There will be limited parking for air craft. There is plenty of boat and submarine parking, but it is first come first serve. We have room for over 100 buses. We've been told to expect busses from Canada, Mexico, Australia, Holland and the U.K. We hope the U.K. folks will drive at least one of those double decker busses.

Activities include: continuous open mike in several different areas. Vendors. Submarine races. Disc Golf Tournament. Largest and smallest fish contest at the fishing event . Nude beach. Regular beach. Disco. The grand opening of the west coast branch of Uncle John's Pawn shop (free corn dogs to the first 500). Ugly dog contest at 4 pm. Goat Rope Rodeo at 5 pm. And MANY MORE.

Please RSVP. ASAP. WTF.
