Well, things are now set in motion for this year's MAGFest! Most of the ZD staff will be attending, and so should everyone who possibly can. It will be held October 1-3 in Williamsburg, VA. The roster of bands performing has been released and the concert has been split into two nights. Who will be there?

Minibosses: The headliners last year will be back
Smash Brothers: Ailsean, Matt Pollard, Midee, Prozax and Virt all from VGMix
Wave Theory: The whole band should make it this year performing techno and dance mixes...with the quickness.
Jenova Project: This band predated the Minibosses and did mostly Final Fantasy covers. Expect one-time-only arrangements!
NESkimos: This band rocks. Seriously. They're from Florida, which is right next to me.
Chromelodeon: 8 member band from Philly that mixes prog rock with game music.
Shawn Phase: Metal meets game music? Count me in.
Inheretics (aka Everyone 2.0): Appeared at MAGFest 1 (as Everyone), but missed last year. They're now back.

Virt: Great guy, former ZD staffer, and great musician
Dale North: Ex-OneUp Studios, working with X-Strike Studios
Cindy Morgan: The lead actress from TRON
X-Strike Studios: Filmmakers that produced the MAGFest documentary earlier this year and bring you films like River City Rumble and Silent Horror
Virtual Fools: Self proclaimed "video game scholars" and journalists
Robert Aldrich: Author of several video game and anime inspired works.
Stephen Kennedy: Founder of KFSS Studios, Project Majestic Mix, Squaredance and more. He might be there, but he may not be
