2009 Wrap Up

We all had such a great time at Happenstance 2009. Every year we are amazed and reminded of the talent that exists in Atlanta. To the musicians who played this year: thank you, thank you, thank you.

A special thanks this year goes to Firehouse Guitars, who provided us with equipment and even handed out gift bags to all of the musicians who played.

Thanks so much to Atlanta Community Food Bank who assisted us with promotion for the event. We can’t wait to give you the money that was raised!

Thunderbox Rehearsal Studios helped out once again this year by providing a practice space for the day. Thanks, Thunderbox!

And, finally, thanks to everyone who came out to support this event. You made it so much fun and we can’t wait to see you again next year!
