Win a massive Fest 9 prize pack

Ah, it's that time of year again. The weather is cooling down in most locales, the leaves are turning shades of red, yellow and orange, and one can seemingly get any food or drink infused with the flavor of pumpkin. More importantly, The Fest 9 is upon us! This weekend, around 250 bands and thousands of people will converge upon Gainesville, FL to compare beards and defy simple science by living off of Five Star Pizza and PBR tallboys for three straight days.

To celebrate, we're teaming up with the festival's organizers to give away a gargantuan prize pack to one lucky Fest attendee. To reiterate, you must be coming to The Fest 9 to enter. No one will be shipping all this crap to your house except you or perhaps a very understanding friend.

This is just the first of our Fest-related happenings this week; stay tuned for another big surprise later this afternoon.
