It's all most here!!! "Movement 2010 Preview"

I am very excited to see 3 performances by artists I have gotten to know and love in the last few years and to see that they are playing one of the biggest and best music festivals in the states that happens to take place in my home town is pretty dope!

The best thing about all this is that these 3 projects play on Sunday and are all on the Red Bull Stage which is looking like the stage to be at!

Oh boy do I love me some RED BULL!!
