The Second Annual O+ Festival was a raging success. Thanks to generous contributions of time and services by the Hudson Valley’s art-loving health care providers, we were able to connect 134 festival participants with 43 dentist appointments and 272 hours of office visits including primary care, chiropractics, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, optometry, counseling and more. More than 1,000 festival attendees and donors helped make it happen — your donations funded clinic expenses, dental hygienist services, insurance policies for operating a pop-up triage clinic during a music festival(!), and other operation costs. Please visit our website for a list of sponsors who helped bring O+ to our community for the second year in a row. Thanks to all who came out, and all who sent your support from afar. We look forward to sharing O+ 2012 with you next October.
And, now that we’ve caught our breath, of course, we’re ready to celebrate! This Thursday October 27th, we invite you to join us for the Hudson Valley’s own riotous “apocabilly” ensemble Pitchfork Militia, presented by LiveLIVE! and O+. Party starts at 7:00pm at the Lounge at Backstage Productions (323 Wall Street, Uptown Kingston NY), $8 suggested donation goes to the band and future O+ events. Keegan Ales’ custom O+ Oktoberfest will be on tap, and we’ll be dancing! (You’ve been warned.)
Pitchfork Militia has been rocking the region since 1995. With a blend of country, blues, rock and punk, the band terms itself “Apocabilly”. This rockin’ three-piece is in turns funny, raging, satirical and silly. It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s loud! Give them a listen at myspace.com/pitchforkmilitia.
