The Here Comes Your Weekend/Parking Lot Blowout 2, held Saturday, June 30, 2007, is the ultimate event for those post-Comfest blues! Held in the Surly Girl Saloon parking lot, at 1126 N. High St., this show will carry on the tradition from last year’s original - hosted by artist Thom Lessner.

This festival will include live outdoor music all day under the tents, a little nostalgia, plenty of Pabst Blue Ribbon, hot dogs and DJs late-night in the Surly Girl Saloon Parlor, all for a good cause.

The Surly Girl Saloon and the Columbus Music Co-op have partnered to raise money for an Emergency Assistance Fund for Musicians. The funds will be available to Columbus musicians without health insurance who need financial aid with their healthcare needs.

Featured live music will include performances by The Means, Buffalo Corpse, The Lindsay, Preston Furman, The Patsys, Earwig, Good Company, Sweatheart, The Exceptionals and Terribly Empty Pockets.

“Columbus has an amazingly vibrant music community and Here Comes Your Weekend is a great opportunity to discover Columbus artists while supporting a great cause,” says CMC Co-Director Erin Moore.

The Columbus Music Co-op was awarded $500 grants to two music projects earlier this year and hosts workshops and networking events for the Central Ohio music community.

The event is being produced by CMC Directors Erin Moore and Jess Faller and Surly Girl Saloon owners Elizabeth Lessner, Marcy Mays and Carmen Owens.
