Thanks to everyone who came out to last night's Mixer and Panel event!

Christian Cunningham of The Bay Bridged, Therese Davis of Songbird Festival, and Francois Vigneault of SFZineFest (pinch-hitting for Scarlett of SF Women's Film Festival who got stuck in the bridge collapse madness) provided us all with a fantastic conversation on the in's and out's of DIY Festivals.

Give a listen to the extended discussion to hear how these incredible San Francisco festivals tackle promotions, budgets, booking, city restrictions, and oh so much more!

IndyArts Presents "The Best of the Fests" DIY Panel, Oct 27th, Mission:Comics & Arts

And take a gander at some pics taken by Maven Jessica Brown while you're at it.

Muchas gracias to Leef Smith of Mission: Comics & Arts for hosting last night's event! Be sure to stop by the place (3520 20th Street @ Mission) to get your fill of cool comix, rad art, and the sweetest new spot in town.

Stay tuned for more to come! And watch out for the Doughnut Festival, coming soon to a neighborhood near you...
