Hey Fest folk,

I know you all have been patiently waiting for the schedule and it is done but we are waiting to get it tweaked for the wide world web so until then we are giving you a little taste of what is to come. Head over to the <a href="http://thefestfl.com/fest7/schedule/">SCHEDULE page</a> where you will find who is playing what day so you can tell whoever you need to that you will not be there on Monday!

<b>WANNA HELP?</b>
We need quality, friendly, and hard working volunteers. We cannot make this event happen without the help from our community here in Gainesville. You not only get to gain experience, make friends, get a pass but you also get an exclusive Fest 7 shirt design no one else can have. Here is what you have to do to be a Volunteer. Head over to the <a href="http://thefestfl.com/fest7/faq/">FAQ page</a>.

We also are opening up the guidebook for submissions this year. Mainly interviews.
So I figured lets come up with 10 stock questions to ask bands playing. Here is how we are gonna do it! <a href="http://www.noidearecords.com/Fest/board/viewtopic.php?t=7518">We have opened up a thread on the message board</a>. Here we are asking you to submit your questions. The Fest 7 message board moderators will pick the best 10 questions and they will be sent to all the bands to answer. This could get really awesome or get really lame so my fellow Fest friends, don’t let me down on this one.

That’s a ton of crap! More will be added I’m sure and some of these fine sponsors will be having too much fun to remember to bring their prizes but hey, it’s THE Fest!

Enjoy this update for now I am sure there will be lots more to come!

-Tony Weinbender and the Fest 7 crew!

That is one hell of an exciting prize package!!!

Holy shit...

seconded. Damn, i kinda wish i was elgible

If for some reason this may "help" in winning the prize...

I'll whore myself out for all that stuff.

Now, granted I'm not gay...and have a gag reflex, and am relatively hairy, oh and have never touched another penis, and have this thing that sometimes my jaw bites down hard, and have a hairy ass...

But think about it...

my words exactly, If i won all of that it would probably be wasted because i'd soon die of a heart attack

I'm now officially buying up the rest of the Fest tickets, If anyone needs one Holla!

just how much space would all of that stuff take up? hope whoever wins it is not riding the bus or flying.

Haha, yeah I was picturing that too. That's BOXES of stuff!

Oh my goodness gracious fucking me, holy Mary mother of fucking god, you could knock me down with a feather! What a competition!!!
If I have to haul that stuff to Boston and then New York after Fest I'll not be happy!!! Wonder how much it would cost to send back to Wales!!

haha thats really a hell of a price.. but I guess its possible to get back via plane.. worst case you just need to get rid of some of the jewel cases..

When I win this awesome prize, I think i'm just gonna post half of it to my house and take the other half in my luggage.
Easy.

I'm lovin the tattoo voucher!

In all seriousness, this is a ridiculously good prize. Like, really.
Whoever does win this will be the object of my hatred and jealousy for many years.
Not that i'm bitter.

Does the prize pack also include a $1,000 gift certificate for the extra luggage fees from the airline?

That's a ridiculous prize pack, but I never win anything in my life so I'd like my chances better if it was split up into a 1st prize wins this, 2nd prize wins this, 3rd prize wins this sort of deal. I just want those sunflower seeds and the high-five pack from 1-2-3-4 GO!

Haha, yeah... a bunch of the airlines charge extra for ANYTHING now. It would be cheaper to mail it probably. I think it is $100 per extra suitcase anywhere in the US or something. I imagine much more outside the US.

okay I just added this to the contest, this should ease some people's minds:
