Todd in Slab City

Slab City



SLAB CITY FUN FEST 2010


Five dollars, a dead cell phone, and a busted tailpipe is about all I had left after this years Slab City Fun Fest. This past weekend the Sonoran Desert bore witness to rock & roll, skateboarding, and debauchery in the last free place on earth - Slab City. Put on by Ernie Quintero(The Spits), and El Centro's Cheap Tricks Skateshop, the Slab City Fun Fest hosts a weekend long camping rock & roll show on the remains of a WWII training facility. Skaters and rockers are welcomed by the camper and camouflage tent dwelling community onto two stages, built by the people that live there, and to an olympic sized empty swimming pool, with some DIY trannie. Everything for the show is free. Just bring your board and beer. Respect the Slabbers, and have fun.
