LMA ONLY TODAY - HEADLINERS NOT REALLY PLAYING

The festival is currently going on - but it is extremely different than advertised on the flyer.

There are about 60 vendors and a handful of artists, but not really any of the headliners. Instead the organizers are putting on an event on Monday - Hey Champ, Money Penny, Team Bayside High, American Royalty at Dragonfly.

I'm not going to confirm it is a go yet - but, the organizers seemed enthusiastic about the line up and are just trying to salvage something from a festy that really hasn't popped off as planned.

LMA SHORTENED, SOME TALENT NOT PLAYING - BUT ALL FREE!

I unfortunately received this message a little more than an hour ago -

Subject: Important announcement for LMA fest

Hello friends, unfortunately we are announcing that the featured talent of LMA FEST has been postponed. However, the Charity Fundraising HOLIDAY FAIR will be FREE and will still feature the CA ART VILLAGE, LOCAL BANDS/DJS & FOOD TRUCKS at the LA STATE HISTORIC PARK on Sat, Dec.4th & Sun, Dec. 5th. All tickets will be refunded. We'd like to thank everyone involved with the LMA FEST movement. We appreciate your support and love. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Love Music Art :)

While this unfortunately means that many of the headlining acts that people would've paid to see are not performing - FREE music and FAIR atmosphere at LA State Historic Park isn't so bad. Throw in the Saturday night afterparty at Standard's Purple Lounge with Hey Champ, Money Penny, Team Bayside High, Bit Funk & Hemingway and you've got a party (2 for 1 drinks from 10-11 pm too).
