Friday, February 1, Saturday February 2 and Superbowl Sunday February 3.

The biggest and bestest virtual, fake and phony fest we know of.  It's in our heads. Be there or be square. Be there or be somewhere else. Richard Sundberg has lots of big name acts signed up for the Monterrey Stage on Friday and Saturday nights, but all of us can take open mic opportunity at the smaller venues.

Special Offers: one free pawn shop restroom pass for anyone playing at the open mics. Play at several open Mics and get a pass each time.

  • Uncle, Your schedule is impeccable, I stand corrected! I only have a clip on bow tie for my gig hosting Saturday. What to do.

  • So not to get crossed eyeéd questions ! I hereby inlist for the hank kid's,Jug band,Open Blues, and even the heavy Metal one,  thanks UJ for the Invite ! This Dude Abides !! 

  • HEY PUT ME DOWN FOR THE HANK WILLIAMS STAGE SAY AROUND 2PM AND THE BLUES STAGE AT 3 PM

  • Cool! Put me down as the Sunday morning gospel host. Gospel song coming soon. Also, sign me up for Hank's "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You"

  • Great Uncle! We can play through the tunes together out in the Sonora looking for water and food stashes. Bring your pistol. I’m over the Iowa line without the usual body search and cavity check. Should pull into Harlan by midnight. Better write Linda a note. She’ll be POd otherwise. Trucks running good.

  • Hi Uncle John,

    Thanks for putting me down to perform the British national anthem at the opening ceremony. Unfortunately, owing to the confused state of British politics, this will be a 6-song set in an attempt to keep everyone happy, though I suspect some won't be.  I will perform:

    God Save the Queen, Land of Hope and Glory, Scotland the Brave, Land of My Fathers, Londonderry Air (Danny Boy) and Europa (Ode to Joy - the European anthem).

    You might want me to start around 5am so that I'll be done by the time anyone else turns up.

    All the best,  Digly :-)

  • Uncle, for this event, I’ll virtually be in two places at the same time! I will need James Brown’s fast foot movement! I do assume after 8PM the chill in the air will clear out nude beach. I definitely will recruit Derek Rose to perform, hope he owns a tie! You are amazing Uncle, well done!

  • We will put you down for two songs, Dog.  Your choice.  Call again if you like.  I flipped the cassette in the answering machine.

  • I tried to sign up for the heavy metal open mic. but the answering machine ran out of tape before I could post.

  • Dave, I can play kazoo on Virtual man and Iowa Sax on Snowbird' Blues.  If you'll have me.

    I am really looking forward to the fest and hope that Richard has some things better organized.  I was a bit disappointed last year in the small number of talent scouts and that I did not get to meet Cher or Madonna.
