Tone of the Event
This is a farmers market, not a rock festival.
Its all about neighbors coming out to mingle, including all types, young old, kids. Its about carrots and stuff, art and community.
And of course, its about music, too.
The music program is actually a big deal down here, and the neighborhood truly looks forward to it.
To keep our good thing going, we follow a few simple guidelines that fall under the categories of neighborhood class, respect and common sense. If you cannot incorporate the following guidelines into your appearance, then this gig is not for you.
• Always be courteous with anyone you encounter at this event.
• No swearing.
• No aggressive, lewd or inciting language or behavior. This is a family event. Be cool like "that."
• No alcohol, open containers, whatsoever.
• Go ahead... rock out, we dig it..... but we do have a power and volume max limit. This is not the gig to haul all your extra NASA gear. Play your basic gear and you'll have more fun - and will also play more.
• TIP! Be on time. There are a lot of bands in line to play on time. If you're late, why book you in the first place? No-shows will not be asked back.

Location
The music takes place at the corner of Newport Ave and Bacon Street.
If you are not familiar with this location, please visit www.MapQuest.com: and search: 4997 Newport Ave, SD 92107 . We play in the street approximate to this location.

Parking
Parking is not convenient. It takes longer than you think. Musicians should plan to arrive one full hour prior to their show time. Remember, you can start as late as you like, but we always stop on time.
It works like this.
• Drop off your equipment to the stage - then park your car and walk back to stage. This takes 20 minutes.. (It takes 35 mins if you start talking with someone while doing all this.).
Park the car within a block or so of the stage. Walk back, set up, and presto: you're having a good time.

• The locals will approach you if they like you... "nice Gig, man"....or (my personal favorite) "yer kinda pretty how much is your CD?"... stuff like that. eat it up, sell your CDs, recruit em to your mailing list, etc. That's why we're here. However, as to remain courteous to the other bands playing we think its really cool of you to get your gear cleared out of the stage area, first, so that the following band doesn't get chumped for their playtime. All the nice people waiting to talk to you, will wait. • TIP! Carpooling in your buddy's van is pure genius.
