So today is the first day for Cornerstone 2009! It seems like it’s going to be an intense week full of music and much more! I only wish I could be there.

This year you can find an interesting schedule of bands, speakers and seminars. They even have kid’s programs!

I guess these tips are too late for those already there, but here they are anyway:

From lessthantheleast blog: Three Things You Need to Pack for Cornerstone!

So if you’re at the festival, let us know what bands/seminars you liked best.

The Huntingtons are playing a reunion show tomorrow (Saturday June 13th) as part of the benefit concert for the Pierce family. Jeannie Pierce was diagnosed with brain cancer back in 2006.  She’s the wife of the Huntington’s former drummer Mike Pierce (aka. Mikee Huntington).  Also reuniting to play the benefit show are Ghoti Hook! You can also read Conrad’s update on Decapolis.com The schedule also includes Fred and the Savages, Main Line Riders, 274, and Speedy Delivery.

Checkout Cliffy’s update about the venue and the schedule from his blog.
