OFF: Terrastock 5

[Brian Halligan]

In case anyone's interested:

> TERRASTOCK 5 - INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL COMING TO BOSTON AREA
>
> We are pleased to announce that the fifth Terrastock festival of arts
> and music takes place this year over the weekend of October 11-13, 2002
> at the Middle East Nightclub, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
> USA.
>
> Terrastock 5 aims to build on the continuing tradition and success of
> the previous Terrastock events, held in Providence, Rhode Island ('97),
> San Francisco, California ('98), London, England ('99, and Seattle,
> Washington ('00).  This upcoming three-day festival of sound and vision
> has been conceived in a similar spirit of "peace, love and co-operation"
> in order to celebrate the music championed by the long-running magazine
> The Ptolemaic Terrascope.
>
> Terrastock 5 is not an indie-rock A&R feeding frenzy.  Bands and artists
> will be there solely at the personal invitation of the organizers.  The
> one thing they all have in common is the fact that each has at some time
> been adulated in the Terrascope.  It's simply about the music and that
> indefinable "spirit of Terrastock".  If you were fortunate enough to be
> at any of the previous Terrastock festivals, you'll already know what we
> mean.  If you're intrigued enough to check out what all the fuss has
> been about in previous years, then now's your chance: don't hesitate,
> because tickets to this unique event are promising to sell out VERY
> quickly indeed.
>
> Three-day tickets are US$70 and will go on sale March 1, 2002.
> Information on how one may purchase tickets will be made available as we
> get closer to that date. As always, for this entirely self-financing
> event there is a policy of absolutely NO GUEST LIST, NO EXCEPTIONS in
> force.
