Sausalito Art Festival Music for 2009
There's only one way to say it: they really got it right this year. The Sausalito Art Festival music lineup for 2009 is heavily focused on local bands, and closes with a 40th Anniversary of Woodstock Tribute, featuring top San Francisco musicians who performed at the seminal music festival.
A certain Editor here who is old enough to remember the Summer of Love and the scene in Vina Del Mar Park has been babbling about his show tickets for weeks now. If he shows up in the office in tie-dye, beads and flowers we'll have to call his family and ask for help.
