Snowden @ Atlanta Downhill Challenge

We're going to be performing Nov. 15 at the Starlight Drive-In as part of the annual Atlanta Downhill Challenge festivities. What is the Atlanta Downhill Challenge? It's a kick ass soapbox derby!! Yes. We're headlining the BMI stage, where a bunch of other bands will be performing throughout the day also. The whole thing goes from 12-6pm, and we go on around 5pm. Apparently last year drew over 3,000 people. It seems like a pretty cool way to spend a Saturday. For a great set of photos from last year check out this flickr set.

FAQ from the downhill myspace:

1) Are we making our own go karts with lawnmowers and shit/ renting them? going to a place? low-tech and crazy?
yes... you can use anything you want to build your cart but it just has to be built by your team. No Motor Vehicles.
2) Oooh oooh can we have like PIT CREW and stuff?
I want you to have a pit crew...if needed, cheerleaders and more.
3) Can we still race if we are over 250 lbs?
Yes, but the judges will take that to heart.
4) What time do I need to be there?
Please be there at 10:00am every year to check in your cart.

Hi Dave,

Don't miss The Sun and The Moon in Atlanta on 11/07 (playing @ East Atlanta Icehouse).

The Sun and The Moon is a 80's band. The singer, Mark Burgess is issued from The Chameleons, whom music has many common points with Snowden (I like both a lot). The Sun and The Moon is more soft but also very good.

Just quick suggestion as I know you're from Atlanta. Sorry for the noise otherwise.
