Has anyone heard anything about Honk Fest this year? I'm hoping it's coming back to Davis. Last year rocked!

I only knew 'cause they asked for permission to use some of my flickr photos

The format looks like the same as last year: Saturday has bands playing at locations all over Davis Square, while Sunday is a march to Harvard Square where some of the bands will also play at Oktoberfest.

If they keep the same webpage verbiage, I look forward to snarking them once again this year! :)

I went last year, and I found the activism to be rather subdued. Just a lot of hippies with horns. I wish somebody had at least busted out the marching band version of "The Hand That Feeds" or something.

at least one of the bands had a rousing marching band version of the internationale.

But how does it compare to this one ?

less klezmer-y, though I think I do remember a clarinet.

i would totally cover that song if I had a band (and also had musical talent of any kind whatsoever)

They never changed that one, universally dumbass sentence:

Just as important, they honk their horns because it’s the best way they know to protest a world of violence and oppression.

For that alone, I shall snark them year after year with every snark super-power I have.

"Don't break the wind of change".

Because everyone knows, you don't protest violence and oppression with horns. You protest them with cow bell!

If you have a fever, the only prescription is more cowbell!

Pshh to you and your snarkage! The words may be dumb but it's the best parade EVAR.

It's going down this year and there are even more bands than last year. It's going to really rock.
