I went a few years back and it was a lot of fun. Those organizers might have good info for you-- as for me, that is about the best input I have. Joey-

Art, vendors, food, and organizations out there shaking hands and every interesting person hanging out for the day - Is see it. I would love to join in on it if if happens. I have some friends who put on The WE Fest in Wilmington - unsigned, independent music that costs $1 to enter each day with music for 3 days I think.
