Cambridge Mass : March 5-8, 2009
Cambridge is the spirited, slightly mischievous side of Boston. In the cross-roads between counter-culture, classic culture, and multi-culture appears a fierce drive to create innovation. The festival celebrates only a small percentage of what this city has to offer.

Austin Texas: May 14-17, 2009
