North By North Park (NXNP)

Year in and year out it seems the same gripe: lack of a solid san diego music scene or some other nonsense. but anyone who goes out knows that's not the case. Case in point, NXNP Festival on Sat Aug 2nd. A single day of workshops and local showcases that truly gives all those other "something by something" festivals a run for their money.

first off, if you buy your ticket today it's only $12.50 (goes up to $15 tomorrow, and $20 day of). compare that to travel costs and festival tickets of say, SXSW ... well ... it's not even the same ballpark.

second, the workshops. They've lined up an impressive list of workshops covering everything from touring and record deals to marketing and music licenses. check out the full list here.

third, the showcases. over a 100 acts at 14 venues around uptown San diego. it's an insanely good local lineup featuring many great bands and friends. And to top it all off, they are offering a shuttle service! check out the full list of bands and venues here.

I just picked up a ticket and i highly recommend you should as well. if you have any interest in music, you should go here to register. see you at the registration table!
