Hey @thefestfl.bsky.social fans. Dynamo Dave Decker from Big Sad and Too Many Daves, who rocks you twice then works his ass off taking photos all Fest weekend, was arrested for documenting a protest outside an ICE detention facility in Miami. The link to help him out financially is included herein.
Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz · 8mo agoICE arrested outstanding journalist @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social while he was on assignment covering protests at the facility in Miami. Throw him some money please because as a freelancer he doesn't have the legal support backing a full-timer would and we need to continue fighting for a free press.

FEST 23 was a blast. The sense of community provides a much needed reset this time of year. Refreshed. Sorting thru all of our clips. @thefestfl.bsky.social youtu.be/OHUqvtSANIA?...

Home from tour. Thank you everyone who came to our first @thefestfl.bsky.social set or any of the dates. This was our longest tour to date + our first package tour, and seeing people in states we’ve never played sing along made it feel like all the grinding has been worth it.
We talked to a bunch of bands about @thefestfl.bsky.social -- which, of course, just wrapped up this past weekend.

happiness is chemical thank you so much @thefestfl.bsky.social for such a wonderful experience he'll yeah br'th'r
I’m still processing the magnitude of @thefestfl.bsky.social this weekend (and especially finally getting to perform at FEST Wrestling). The short version is that it was all awesome and—at the risk of excessive earnestness—really special to me. Thank you to everyone.
@thefestfl.bsky.social is cool because there's just all this good nice energy concentrated in a few blocks of a college town. Just good vibes and good people listening to good music. The outside world sucks shit but it doesn't suck within these venues.
off work, heading to LAX, let’s fuckin go @thefestfl.bsky.social youtu.be/4cYq7EPabTg?...
