Okay, these awesome summer festivals have got to stop. Team Clermont is putting on an awesome three day festival that culminates in a prom. That’s right, a prom. Now, unlike my prom this one won’t be DJed by a 40-year-old guy with ten year old records. This one has live music. By Elf Power.

Thursday and Friday are $5 in adv. or $6 at the door, Saturday’s Go! Bar is free, the prom is $12 in adv. or you can do $20 for all three nights. Oh Athens, you gem of Georgia.

I’d love to go to this if I can somehow combine it and PopFest into one trip. Anyone else thinking of going?
