<<Unfortunately it didn't work out, schedule  wise. Last year we were part of 
a huge Orange County event known as  "Summerfest", which the city of Stanton 
puts on each year. This year they needed  to move Summerfest two weeks later, 
which put it outside the dates of IPO LA.  Hopefully we'll be able to work 
things out for next year, because we'd really  like to be back in OC.>>
 
But fear not, O.C. folks (OK, and L.A. folks,  too---it's not THAT far, 
y'know)...there WILL be pop at this year's Summerfest  in Orange County, which will 
be taking place on Saturday, August  13.
 
Six cool acts are booked to play the festival,  including ROBBIE RIST, BARRY 
HOLDSHIP and THE SHAMBLES.  It's an outdoor  show, and it should be big fun.  
More details to come.
 
(and thanks, Stephen Thorn, for the kind words and  good wishes re: this 
year's benefit show!)
