SECOND BLACK ANGELS SHOW ADDED ON JUNE 11TH
If you haven't heard, the Blakc Angels show has sold out. Do not fret! We have added a second show that night to accomodate the demand. In order to do this we had to start the orginal show a bit earlier. Doors for the original show will now open at 7PM. The Warlocks will begin their set at 8:30.

Doors will open for the second show at 10:30PM. The Warlocks will start their set at 11 PM. The second show is also 21+ and the tickets are $15. You can buy them online at Ticketwest.

Thanks to everyone who helped out and attended our presentation of Showgirls at the Triple Door. If you didn't hear, the show sold out and there was a line out the door waiting for tickets. We were overjoyed at the turn out. View pictures from the event here. Urban Rest Stop director, Ronny Gilboa, spoke to the packed house and many of the patrons went home with cute little URS rubber duckies. David Schmader was on top of his game as well. He transformed Verhoeven's cinematic blunder into a hilarious night of fundraising. It was a great festival season kickoff event! Thanks for helping us make it happen!

Every year Windward Press helps us print these fancy full-color festival brochures that include info about the charity, Noise for the Needy and include a full schedule of the events. This brochure also lists the venues that we will be hosting NFTN shows. This year, we are doing our first show at the Wild Rose. We noticed after getting the printed brochures back that their name was not listed amongst the venues in the brochure. We apologize for this oversight and would like to make sure that Wild Rose is recognized properly for being a part of this year's festival. To the staff, owners and patrons of the Wild Rose: Thank you for your support and efforts in 2008!

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets for Showgirls at the Triple Door! The event has SOLD OUT and you have all helped make that happen. NFTN and Urban Rest Stop thank you for your support.
