**FIST FEST is canceled

FIST FEST 2008 IS CANCELED DUE TO A FIRE DESTROYING THE ENTIRE AREA.. WITHOUT A BACKUP PLAN WE ARE DEAD IN THE WATER,, IM TRULY SORRY TO EVERYONE PLANNING ON ATTENDING AND THE BANDS WHO COMMITTED TO THE EVENT BUT THERE IS NO ONE MORE DISAPPOINTED THAN ME AND MY SPONSORS... MAYBE WE CAN FIND A SPOT AND DO THIS IN SEPTEMBER... BUT FOR NOW FIST FEST IS DONE.......FIST FEST IS AN CAMPING/ CONCERT EVENT OFF THE BANKS OF THE FEATHER RIVER IN OROVILLE CA.
FIST FEST WAS CREATED BY: CHAD CORNELL, JOSH B****, AND WADE DARBY, A FEW OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF "INNOCENCE" (A SACRAMENTO BASED METAL BAND).
lONG STORY SHORT, IT STARTED IN 2001 WITH A HANDFULL OF BANDS AND A HAGGARD ASS GENERATOR THAT FRIED EVERYONES GEAR.. BUT IT STILL ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE, TO OUR AMAZEMENT.. SO WE KEPT IT GOING OVER THE YEARS.. EACH YEAR BECOMING MORE POPULAR AND MORE ORGANIZED..WITH THE EXEPTION OF 2007 THERE HAS BEEN A FIST FEST EVERY YEAR SINCE 2001!!!... WADE DARBY AND I (CHAD CORNELL) RECENTLY SAT DOWN AND COMITTED OURSELVES TO MAKING FIST FEST HAPPEN AGAIN THIS YEAR...
This year we will have professional sound/lighting and a stage.... No firearms are permitted for obvious safety risks ... if security sees any guns and/or fighting you will be banned from FIST FEST FOR LIFE... (This being pretty much the only way to get ejected) Other than that, everyone who is coming is there to have a good time... Moshing is a time honored tradition at FIST FEST and is expected......
.......but......
.......If your some dick just lookin to start shit or to fuck with people, leave your stupid ass at home cause we will send you down the river....
.... and not necessarily in one piece....
