Another year, another TBD gone by.
The West Sacramento music fest featured a ton of talent in cooking showdowns, interactive art and live art, circus performance and so much more. Oh, and did we mention music? Tears for Fears, Chromeo, Death Grips, Dinosaur Jr., Pretty Lights and Dr. Dog were among a few of the dozens of bands and musicians on the three-day lineup.
This year’s TBD Fest marked a pivotal moment for TUBE. Magazine, as we launched our first print edition at our vendor booth. We brought along performers from Partner Play, Handstand Nation and Quircus to entertain and help celebrate!
Big ups to all volunteers and staff who made TBD a success this year. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by to buy a copy of TUBE., check out our art and chat about what we’re doing in the print world. The encouragement and enthusiasm from the TBD crowed was overwhelming! Readers, music lovers, Sacramento and beyond: you are the reason we do what we do!
