HOT OFF THE PRESS RELEASE WIRE >>>
It's Friday. Things are slow. I spent two hours looking at YouTube videos earlier today ... until I forgot what I was looking for in the first place. It was a sad scene.
Luckily, I just got an email from the folks behind this year's Olympia Independent Music Festival - meaning I can momentarily turn my attention to making a blog post out of it.
And voila!
The third annual Olympia Independent Music Festival will run two days, July 2-3, from noon - 9 p.m. at Sylvester Park in downtown Olympia. It's free, and the lineup is pretty awesome. Specifics can be found below in full press release glory ...
