FUN FUN FUN FEST ANNOUNCES ON-SITE ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS

By October 28, 2009No Comments

SKATE RAMP, MECHANICAL BULL, PHOTO BOOTH, LIVE T-SHIRT AND BANDANA SCREENPRINTING AND MORE!

WHO: Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has made a significant impact on the country’s winter calendar, successfully combining the vast worlds of indie, punk, rap, electronica and comedy while showcasing some of the city’s most unique local businesses. It is the most relaxed, laid back and (yet) progressive festival in the marketplace today, a true urban event in the middle of downtown Austin.

WHAT: In addition to Fun Fun Fun Fest’s outstanding musical line-up, the festival will also host an array of activities to keep fans busy between sets. Fans can check out the festival’s mechanical bull, skate ramp, live screen-printing, photo booth, Flip cam interviews, API poster show, band merchandise and food and fashion from some of Austin’s favorite local businesses.

Fun Fun Fun Fest has partnered up with Under Pressure to give festival attendees what they deserve: an opportunity to design their own FFF T-shirt, hoodie, bandana, tank top, or anything else they can come up with. Under Pressure will also be selling a limited addition FFF poster print. The API poster show will highlight various accomplished poster artists from across the United States, who will present posters on Fun Fun Fun Fest artists and others.

Fun Fun Fun Fest’s skate ramp will be rolled out by Find N Grind Skate Shop, one of Central Texas’ finest skate shops and crews. This year, they will host a post-apocalyptic skate session with a custom “coffin extension” on the ramp, facing the black stage in honor of the great one, Glenn Danzig.

Food and fashion will abound, as some of Austin’s favorite local businesses set up shop on festival grounds, including: Frank, Woodland, Spanish Village, Ruby’s BBQ, Snowie, Parlour Pizza, Mambo Berry, Tiff’s Treats, Boomerang’s Pies, Zen, Austin Cornucopia, Prototype, Bird’s Barbershop, Toy Joy, Big Rig Vintage and Shyana Gifts (glass pipes). Austin non-profit organizations the SIMS Foundation and Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) will also be on hand at FFF to raise awareness of their causes benefiting local musicians.

*Early bird, student discount and VIP ticket packages for FFF 2009 have all sold out. Because of the limited capacity of the park, music fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets early to ensure entry. Tickets can be found at local Austin record stores and at www.funfunfunfest.com/store. For more information on the festival, visit www.funfunfunfest.com
