18 Jun 03 - 07:10 PM (#968669) Subject: SF Free Folk Festival 2003 From: radriano Sorry about the late announcement. I had thought that there already was a thread about this. The 2003 San Francisco Free Folk Festival happens this weekend, June 21 and June 22. A slew of Mudcatters will be there, some leading workshops, some doing concert spots, some doing volunteer work, and some just being present to annoy everyone else there. How many is a slew? Not sure, but it's a dandy word not often seen these days. For more information and schedules for this 27th annual event, click on the link shown below. San Francisco Free Folk Festival 2003 |
