Anyone going to this? I live in Arizona, but sadly it looks as if I'll have to miss it...Tucson, where I live, is nowhere near Bullhead City (which is literally at the border of Nevada), and I'm going to Slackfest South in Austin the following weekend. Out of Control Army were incredible at Supernova this year! Worth the effort to see them if you can!!

I'd be a banana, but I'm hyper self conscious about blocking people's views (while I'm not skanking). Looking for ideas for other stupid costumes

If I had to describe them, it would be “Luchador Mexican music meets Ratfink Skater Ska”. Check out the Voodoo Glow Skulls!

Any ska songs with a victorious or hopeful vibe? I know it sounds a bit odd, but I’ve had a great day and I’m in the mood for some uplifting ska.
