Lots of festivals being announced these past few days. New England DIY Fest 2 has officially been announced. This year it will be a joint operation between Connecticut DIY Shows and Massachusetts based Spilt Milk Zine. Last year it was an all-day house party featuring Trunks n Tales, Wanli, Play It Faster, Birth Of Flower, Mutiny Amongst Friends and many more local bands.This year it is going to be hosted at a house in Westerly, RI (right on the CT/RI border.)As of now, music is going to start Friday night at 7:30 pm - get their earlier if you're camping. Music will continue on Saturday afternoon, probably around 3:00 pm, and will last all day and all night. Sunday is going to be a giant hootenanny styled show. This is the very first show that CT DIY has ever booked with an admission cost, because there will be a lot of traveling bands, but it will only cost you somewhere between $5 to $10.
If you're going, plan to pack for a camping trip. Bring food and drinks for yourselves, a tent, sleeping gear, toilet paper, trash bags, anything you'll need. You'll also be expected to take care of your own garbage and recycling.

OHHHHH shit PS
if you are going to drink it must be concealed
our friend could get really fucked if the cops show and there's beer cans and shit all over the place
so if you wanna drink
we don't wanna see it
Don't make it obvious
and please be respectfull of the property and our rules
we really appreciate your cooperation
Thanks Again!!!!
hey im in a band playing(robin hood) and were all really excited. A bunch of my friends are coming up too and we have some questions.
ReplyDelete- I'm sure everyone brings their own food but can we cook it over a fire or something? i doubt the host wants a bunch of fire pits in their yard so should we just bring cold foods?
-also where is the house in relation to the westerly train station because a lot of my friends are taking the amtrack from nyc
Thanks alot and im sooo excited for this!
