The lineup is now final. There will be 11 bands... The doors will still open at 9:45 am but the first band will be hitting the stage around 11:05. Amasa broke up and will be unable to partake in OURfest (very last second thing as u can tell). Tragic will be unable to perform either, unfortunately. The best goes out to Tragic and we sincerely wish that they could have gotten to play.
The show is tommorrow so be sure you come out and support all the wonderful acts playing! There will merchandise! Josh and Nate from Yoohoo will make a cameo! Hell I might even get up and sing a song or two for everyone if they promise not to throw stuff at me!
Once again, a BIGGGGG thanks to Yoo-Hoo and Kat! Also thanks goes to Paul Fischer and Mountain Recording Studios, and also to Jesse Capps and Yowza media. And to Eddie Harrell and Domino's Pizza. Another big thanks goes to Mr. Johnny Horton for hookin us up with PA!!!

YooHoo has linked and announced OURfest on their website!! A big thanks goes out to Kat for helping plug the show and for her help getting the word out on the local bands in our area!!! Go to YooHoo now!!

Friday June 14, 2002
JoJoSeZ is 100% confirmed to headline OURfest this year! Also, a few other bands have been tossed around as potential bands to play OURfest, all the details will be ironed out in the next week or so hopefully, and we will have a somewhat complete lineup set within 2-3 weeks. Hopefully, let us stress that.. hopefully *hehe*

Daisy's Funeral has went from 100% to kinda iffy right now. According to a representative from the Daisy's Funeral camp (okay, so it's just me James thats the representative, I just wanted it to sound professional dammit!), "the band has been temporarily inactive for the past several weeks due to a small shakeup in the lineup, which was the departure of lead guitarist Auslin Hudson, and the fact the band members have been caught up in other projects, like planning local rock festivals, jobs, National Guard Duty, and girlfriends, Daisy's Funeral may or may not play OURfest this year. We still want to play very much, but if we can't practice, we can't play a show. A true confirmation of whether we will play OURfest or not will be announced by or around June 23. Thank you".

Stay tuned to this website for more updates and other cool things!
