BANDS: That performed in 2005
1) Continental Drifters
2) Stanimals
3) Randy Boys
4) Cranky Mama
5) RAW DEAL - Ace finally came up with "a band name with more presence, more ambiguity, yet viscerally identifiable, one with power and blood. An assortment of three-chord power rockers intermingled with weepy ballads and chuckle ditties, you'll have to see it to believe it, and the only place to do either will be at P-Fest '05."
6) Leanne Kruk (lead singer from the SEX PIRHANAS) and Richard in their acoustic debut at P-Fest.
7) Dumpsters
8) Windsor Four
9) Harmony Grits
10) Steve Robertson Project
11) Jam Band (space for a cross-pollination jam with anyone who wants to jam)
12) Ren & Skimpy
13) Dave Stein
14) The All Night Free Whiskey Jam Band
15) Kids Band
16) Osama's Bar Mitzvah

NEWS:
As usual, we'll need to organize to rent the Twin Redwoods Campground for Saturday night. ($10/site) You can begin reserving the site 30 days before arrival. You can only rent these trail camps for one night so somebody else will have to capture a few campsites if we're going to get the sites for Friday, or to keep the sites for Sunday. The telephone number to make reservations is (831) 338-8861.
The revolution will not be televised but I have it on good word that PacoFest will be broadcast again this year. Scan your FM dial at the 88 end of the dial.

Make sure guests know the ground rules and everything will be cool.
Let's say this all one more time... Drive very slowly and very carefully on the trail/roadway coming in. You may encounter horses, bicyclists, hikers, joggers, and wildlife. Please give them the right-away.
