As we wrap up WHAT wayback weekend perhaps we should share this documentary (part 1)…

Perhaps not, but either way it’s not like we have to ask anyone permission.

Continuing on the WHAT way back trip please enjoy an old crowd funding video. Some things have changed but the lore stays the same. You can almost smell the beautiful morning air in the video shot from rooftops and imaginations in Cody, Wy.

Hey Nostriches!

Birds of a feather flock together so consider flocking to WHAT Fest in the wilds of Wyoming July 25th - 26th. Let’s dance on the wind & float on a whim!

Here’s a throw back to Elk Tongue a band born on the plains and woven into the music of myths in Wyoming.

Why WHAT Fest? #introductions

Hey Nostriches! 🤙

WHAT Fest is a decentralized art and music festival in the wilds of Wyoming. The land of high altitudes and low multitudes. WHAT Fest is when people come together to build a festival out of nothing.

WHAT Fest is what you make of it. The future of festivals is here. Help us distribute it by helping create the experience. Join us over the last weekend of July (25-26) in Wyoming or enjoy portions of the WHAT on livestream brought to you by nostr:nprofile1qqstn5pvhr7aavv3wq0vqeywxlk376hm5f37qps0cpsfnf3g28f9upq6qgre4.
