Can you smell that in the air?

HampdenFest is coming September 15th!

Hawker can't wait!

An updated band schedule is here, and you can listen to mp3's there of almost all of them. Also, if you live in Hampden and haven't experienced the community building force of Hampden Idol (and the healing powers of Keyboard Man and free Tab,) I suggest you do so.

Hawker has word that Hampden Idol judges this year will be Mary Alice Fallon Yeskey from the Food Network's "Ace of Cakes" and Charm City Roller Girls Referee Johnny Zebra.

Can't wait until the 15th? Check out the last round of Hampden Idol tryouts at The Hon Bar this Friday night from 9 p.m.-1 a.m.!
