Below is our shorter press release:

Honorable Mention Collective proudly announces the second annual
Awesome Fest at the Arena Theater in Point Arena, California on April
18th and 19th, 2008. Bringing an eclectic assortment of independent,
but nationally recognized, musicians to rural Northern California.
Because last year’s show was such a success we have expanded this
year’s festival to two nights. The line-up is (in alphabetical order):

BellaVista (San Francisco, CA)
Chief (NYC)
Girls (San Francisco, CA)
Golden Animals (Los Angeles, CA)
Morning Benders (Oakland, CA)
Port O’Brien (Oakland, CA)
Thee Oh Sees (San Francisco, CA)
Willowz (Los Angeles, CA)

In the age of Ticketmaster, Clear Channel, and the impersonal mega-
festival, this truly independent event, organized by artists for
artists, is a refreshingly rare and unique experience.

About the Arena Theater:

The Arena Theater is a 1928-vintage vaudeville theater and film
palace, restored in 1996 to an Art Deco style, state-of-the-art
entertainment venue, situated on Highway One in downtown Point Arena,
California's smallest city.
