keither Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Fat Cats at Bonfire in 2010? That'd be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 It would be nice! I could definitely see some collaborative jams with a few of the acts on your bill (relentless couchmen, bluebuddz, etc)Making it out to Bonfire is definitely on my shortlist of future summer destinations!
