We have a lot of fun stuff swirling around the FMX Big Purple Party alongside the rock. I'll lay out the details on some of the stuff you can check out.  Now, none of this is promised, but it's all planned.

When you enter the gates at the FMX Big Purple Party you'll be given the option to "Purple Up".  We have four gallons of purple tempura so you can get your war paint on. We also have an "arrival wall" so you and your friends can get a cool "before" picture.  We will have various merchants on the premises including cool rock jewelery and other stuff.  Of course there will be plenty of food and drink on hand too.

I already mentioned that there may be rock stars wandering around who aren't playing at the gig, but I also heard that there will be "celebrity bartenders".  I doubt they'll actually serve you, but they'll be behind the bar promoting some brands.  One name I heard for sure is Lajon.   I also heard that Chino from the Deftones will be spinning some tunes at some point.  I really don't know when he'll have time, all I know is he's being paid to do a d.j. set or two.  There will also no doubt be bands making appearances in their merch booths.

Let's also not forget that the day starts with an in-store appearance by Escape The Fate at Hastings.

All this and rock too?  Yeah, that's the FMX Big Purple Party!

Oh yeah, here's the band playing instead of Adrenaline Mob (they were in a car accident and had to bail).  It's The Charm City Devils.  I love this cover!
