This year is attached to an important awareness campaign. Due to the recent budget cuts by Gov. Schwarzenegger, many programs are beginning to lose their lifelines. One of which is the California state park system where the governor has cut $14.2 million in funding, forcing over 100 California State Parks to the brink of closing down. We hope that this event will send a message to all of the California state lawmakers stating that these parks are vital components of our communities should not be cut.
For more information on the State Park situation please visit: www.calparks.org
We (FYF FEST) will be donating $1 of every ticket to two organizations making positive change within the community on a daily basis, Homeboy Industries and Harvest of Hope.
About Homeboy Industries: (www.homeboy-industries.org):
Homeboy Industries traces its roots to “Jobs For A Future” (JFF), a program created in 1988 by Father Gregory Boyle while he was serving as pastor of Dolores Mission parish in Boyle Heights. Begun as a jobs program in 1988, offering alternatives to gang violence in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city, the program soon grew beyond the parish.
In only a few years, Homeboy Industries has had an important impact on the Los Angeles gang problem, with young people from over half of the region’s 1,100 known gangs seeking a way out through Homeboy. Thousands of young people have walked through the doors of Homeboy Industries looking for a second chance, and finding community. Gang affiliations are left outside as these young people work together, side by side, learning the mutual respect that comes from shared tasks and challenges.
About Harvest of Hope Foundation: (www.harvestofhope.net):
The Harvest of Hope Foundation's Mission is to provide emergency and educational aid to migrant farm workers and their families which is extremely limited and often not available otherwise. Thus, it is the goal of the Harvest of Hope Foundation to fill in the gaps in service to this most hard-working yet needy group of seasonal migrant workers and families by distributing funds to pay for gas, tires, car repairs, rent, utilities, medical services, food, clothing, funeral expenses and educational scholarships.
Volunteer Program:
In addition to assisting these two organizations, we (FYF Fest) has also partnered with over 15 local non-profit charities via our newly launched Volunteer Program. For every 12 hours of volunteered time participants will receive two free tickets to the festival and care package that is sure to make one smile. Some of the organizations involved are the Union Rescue Mission, 826LA, Angel Food, Midnight Mission, L.A. Burrito Project, Habitat for Humanity, Campfire Kids, L.A. Food, Cine-Family plus many more. This program is our way of trying to bridge the gap between those willing to work and those in need of help in our community. Please visit our website (fyffest.com) for more information on how to join/
We want to extend an extra special thanks to our sponsor's who believed in us and in our vision to expand the FYF Fest.

its best to see lightning bolt in a small confined space (like when they play in your friends living room in goleta) rather than something like this.
i walked out on converge in 2002 (maybe 2003?) and have no regrets.
the singer of the carbonas died a few weeks ago, so i dont know how they are going to play.
fucked up is great, but its not worth paying whatever the ticket price is to just see them / have to sit through all the other hipster garbage until they play.
fuck yeah fest should just be renamed american apparel fest.
i have a lot more to say but ill bite my tongue.
sean, the guy who is putting this on can be difficult to work with.. he seems to try to hard to get things done/accomplished and sometiems does go in over his head.. okay not sometimes.. all the time.. but he means well (usually)
they got fucked over on money last year during the F Yeah Tour.. and so little to no money was left over for the fest..
well see how this year goes.. hes been putting on lots of shows throughout the year in order to raise money for the Fest.
it's a decent line up.. and its pretty cheap for how many bands are on the bill and since majority if not all the ticket cost is going to the State Parks fund
and yes.. it kind of is a hipster fest.. but thats kind of what you expect at a show like this anywhere in LA. and hey sunset junction is worse
yeah shove it!
no, real talk, the line up is great, brilliant if i may say so.
you could go to the smell for three months straight and see the same bands, but cmon in one day? First of all - Lightning motherfuckin Bolt. Some people are down to buy airline tickets to road island just to see them play. RBI be knowing. Solely for Katie Stelmanis....really? Better and cheaper and closer than coachella. Just cause I'm a hipster doesn't mean I'm a hipster. I dunno. Go or miss it and listen to your cooler friends talk about it for the rest of the summer. America! ROCK FLAG AND EAGLE!
