As you barrel pellmell along Interstate 84, dodging tumbleweeds and Semi trucks, heading for the sweet, tree-thick, nougat that is Idaho's state capital, you'll pass a sign. This sign :
Welcome to Boise.
City of Trees.
Population 205, 671.
There are a few things wrong with that sign. First of all, the population of Boise is now 205,672, and second, there is no mention of Treefort Music Fest. That's about to change, (and not just because I have a can of spray paint and a get out of jail free card I bought for a dollar from a wandering get-out-of-jail-free-card salesman). Mark these dates on your calendar, March 22nd-25th. Got them marked? Good. On those dates Boise will host the first annual (hopefully) Treefort Music Fest. So far, inagural performers include...
of Montreal
Built to Spill
Blitzen Trapper
Typhoon
Talkdemonic
AU
WHY?
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside
Champagne Champagne
Monster Rally & RUMTUM
Woodsman
Lemolo
Pickwick
...with more acts still to be announced. For more information, visit the official Treefort site http://treefortmusicfest.com/ and while you're there, sign up to receive by email "secret messages, insider trading information, announcements and ticket giveaways". Also, don't forget to GET EXCITED! This is gonna be BIG!
And...your moment of crooked-faced Zen.
