Events Big Indie *coughhippiecough* Festival This Weekend

If you’re up for making the drive north to Rochester, WA tonight, and camping out for the weekend, a damn fine-looking festival of local film and music await you. Located on the Helsing Junction farm, the Helsing Junction Sleepover Extreme boasts the sweetest line-up of the weekend, including (but certainly not limited to): Mirah, Mt. Eerie, Calvin Johnson, and Old Time Relijun, plus short films by Matt McCormick and Vanessa Renwick.

From what I understand, the farm is on the banks of the Chehalis River (swimming!), and you’re served organic, fresh-picked meals from the farm. The whole shebang, including entertainment, camping, and meals goes for a whopping $20!

Sound too good to be true? Sort of. Here’s the fine print: “Hackeysack and djembe and firespinning shit too!” Damn you, fine print!!!
