We turn 25 today! The first Non-Event was on May 13, 2001 at MassArt and featured the insanely good double bill of Filament and Poire_Z. It's been a ride... thanks to all the musicians, organizers, partners, and audience members for your support over the years and to Dan Hirsch for taking the initial leap into the void!
