Even Shadow Senator Paul Strauss had a car in the parade. And a classic one, to boot.


The application process for the 4th annual 6 Points Music Festival officially kicked off yesterday, and as we have said before, the success of events such as this that highlight our local talent are dependent upon the volume and diversity submissions. This is your chance to make 2007’s line-up something to be remembered. If you have $10 and 3 original songs, go to the 6 Point’s website and fill out the form. You can submit your music either on a CDR or paste a link to your band’s MySpace page. The shows are scheduled for April 12-15, and deadlines for submission are January 15th. After our coverage this past spring, commenters offered quiet a bit of criticism on the festival and the bands selected to perform. Now we would like to ask you again for your opinions with the following six questions, and hopefully your voices will be heard by both potential artists and organizers to improve upon this ever-growing festival.

1.) What bands/artists would you most like to see perform?
2.) What would give this festival more of a festival feel?
3.) How much would you pay for a ticket?
4.) What venues are you most apt to attend?
5.) Did you go to the festival last year?
6.) Would you rather keep the show local or open it up to bands from all over?
