Virgin Mobile FreeFest

Yesterday, Virgin Mobile announced that their annual music festival on August 30th this summer in Columbia, Maryland will be absolutely free!

The organization has recognized our country’s economic status and current recession and have decided to not put a fee on these tickets, however Ticketmaster will still charge for ticket delivery unless you decide to pick them up on call.

Instead the festival will be soliciting a $5 donation towards the RE*Generation, an organization that helps homeless youth agencies across the country.

And if I were you, I would donate! You’re only paying $5 to see bands like GIRL TALK, Blink 182, Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Jet, Taking Back Sunday and MORE.

If I didn’t live on this side of the country, I would be there in a heart beat.
