"I hope to bring something beautiful and eclectic to the Inland Empire, these people deserve something cool, and no one is giving it to them. I wanted it to be free, I wanted it to be simple, and I wanted it to be fun... I feel like we have a great lineup of bands and artists and I hope to have thousands of people come and learn about all this great stuff." - Phil Pirrone
