After a cursory look at the schedule, I can hearetily recommend the following 
IPON acts:

1.  DUM DOG RUN - featuring Rick Altizer, this is juiced-up power pop for the 
new millennium.  Check out their cut on the ace new Cars Tribute...

2.  STEPHEN LAWRENSON  - he had a very cool "pop-lite" record out last year 
(w/lots of jangle) on Paisley Pop Records, which is definitely worth checking 
out.

3.  BARRY HOLDSHIP 4 - Roots rock perfection.

4.  MARK JOHNSON - He released one of the top pop records of the last 20 
years (in my opinion) with the staggeringly great 12 IN A ROOM.

Those are off the top of my head....wish I could be there!
