New London's I Am Festival is this Saturday...and it's free

Yeah! Free indie rock! Free people watching! Free good weather in downtown New London!

Sara and I, aka Shag Frenzy, will be deejaying between the bands at New London's I Am Festival until about 630p, at which time we will head into Hartford and do the Frenzy proper at Sweet Jane's. Please come out and support the ones who are making a scene happen in this beautiful state of Connecticut.

Also, during the daytime, expect filler DJ sets by none other than SHAG FRENZY! Connecticut's hottest hipster dance party comes to I AM FESTIVAL for a daytime jaunt before they rock their monthly dig that night in Hartford.

DIRECTIONS TO I AM FESTIVAL BY TRAIN:

Pretty simple... whether you're coming from New York or Boston or Philly or whatever, all you have to do is buy a train ticket that says "To: New London" on it. The train literally takes you to I AM FESTIVAL. The train station is located at Waterfront Park, where the festival will take place. The festival is free, so all you have to do is get here and party! If you wanna party all night and need a place to stay for the night, let us know and we can probably hook you up with a sweet place and a sweet afterparty. It'll be a blast!

(By the way, same goes for a bus. Greyhound is located at the train station!)
