Twangfest 3: Advance Tickets, More News, and Much, Much Less!

[[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mark Wyatt)]

That steady "thump, thump, thump" you're hearing, ever increasing in intensity?
No, it's not Excedrin Headache #43, brought on by the latest P2 dustup, it's
just us (us being your Twang Gang) beating the drum for Twangfest 3. We're a
mere seven weeks away from the blessed event--June 10-12--and so we're going to
try to keep you informed on all the latest happenings just as often as you can
stand it.

### ADVANCE TICKETS ###

First off, thanks to our kind sponsors Miles of Music and Village Records, we
have advance tickets available for the first time in our short history.  With
headliners like the V-Roys, Damnations TX, and Dale Watson, not to mention all
the great P2 bands, you'd have to be crazy to risk waiting until the last
minute to get your ducats!  Here's the scoop:

    Tickets are $10 per night. A shipping/handling charge will be added to each
order.

### TWANGPIN ###

Due to popular demand, or at least no unified opposition, we are bringing back
Twangpin for the second year.  It will be held on Friday June 11th from 12 noon
til 5 pm.  And while you might think that just bowling would be enough, we do
not, mesdames and messieurs.  This year, Twangpin will also be the site of the
CD release party for this year's Edges From the Postcard 2, which is appearing
this year on Hayden's Ferry Records.  Hayden's Ferry is also sponsoring this
party, which will feature the following combos, live and in bowling shirts:

*The Sovines
*Belle Starr
*Buck Shots
*Even more surprise musical guests!

Bowling will start right around, with the swingin' bands cranking it up at 1
PM. We'll have more details soon on this event; for now, contact Marie
Arsenault at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

### MUCH LESS! ###

Yep, that's about all the news for now.  For all the pertinent stuff in one
place, you can't beat www.twangfest.com, our info-licious corner of the web.
More to come!

Muchas smooches,

Your Twang Gang
