Brief report on the Ball from Arthur Magazine No. 22 (May 2006), designed by W.T. Nelson
ArthurBall — a two-day, 1,000ish-capacity, multi-venue music & culture festival in Echo Park on Feb. 25-26, 2006, curated by Arthur Magazine and produced by Spaceland Productions — was the second of three Arthur festivals in a period of 14 months. Our ludicrous idealism was nearing its peak. I reminisce a bit about it in the latest (paywall-less) Landline. —Jay
