I received info a few weeks back on Brooklyn Bodega's Twitter page about a festival they're throwing for the 5th year. I visited their website and saw previous performers and this years performers and thought to myself, "For a small $10 donation, you're telling me I can check out all these artists? Where do I sign up?" You can't really beat that. For all the complaining we do about music, here's a great chance to support alot of established artists as well as hardly known / hardly heard of artists. I got my tickets. Excited to go and take lots of pics to blog about. I know it's gonna be a dope event. Check out the performers listed here...
