Samstock 07

Look, for those of you who don't know (meaning you are either from Auckland or non-christian - as far as i know they're not the same thing...), Samstock is far and above the best Christian music festival in the South Island, and I reckon the best in NZ. There is a community family feel, and the opportunity to hear some great music MUCH closer than any other environment, including the festival that shall not be named.... Also, I like the egocentricity of naming the festival after one of the founders (don't worry Sam, you know I love you in a completely male-appropriate way...)

Samstock has got a really interesting history, which is well worth a read. Also, you can have a look at the aims and objectives, which are all part of what makes Samstock the event that it is.

Anyways, the new website is up and almost-running in a typical Samstock manner - I love the fact it's reinvented every year. Tim Weil, who does the designs really deserves props for his innovative and eyecatching work.

Keep popping into the website for updates, and in the meantime, get your samstock on using the "cool and hip"young person interweb sites below:

The 2007 Samstock festival - State of Grace will run from 28-30 September, @ the Mosgiel A&P showgrounds (just outside Dunedin).

Peace out,
Ray

PS: I actually have nothing against the other music festival in NZ, it's actually pretty cool too.
