"We have been talking about doing this for a long time. When we finally decided we were going to do it, a bunch of friends said, “About time!” Instead of starting from scratch, we combined forces with Party Marty and Razorcake to make it the best it can possibly be. There will be no corporate sponsors, no workshops, or classes on “how to tour” or “how to get signed”, just good music. The bands that are playing were picked in a very fare way. There were 6 of us and we said, “Hey, who do you want to play?” We divided it up and got a great unique list of bands, instead of just one person’s personal taste in music. I think this worked out great. It is a wide variety, including bands that I’ve never seen or heard until now. None of the money from The North Park Awesome Fast will go to anything but the bands traveling to play it along with art and promotion. No one will be profiting off of this event. We are truly trying to repay all the great people that have done stuff for this scene with a great weekend of fun.
We wanted everyone that has been so good to us around the country to come to San Diego and enjoy it. We really think that San Diego is one of the best cities on earth. We are including a list of fun stuff to do and visit while you are here. The beaches, Zoo, and Balboa Park are all amazing places to visit in September. None of the shows start until 4pm, so wake up early and take advantage of the great weather. I also believe that the North Park area has the best burritos in the world. Seriously! Ask some people.
