Return of the MACRoCk (Next Year)

What?! MACRoCk is cancelled?!

Well, this year, yes. But, per their update [click through]:

The MACRoCk committee has thought long and hard about our mission and has decided to partner up with the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance. We are now in stride to become a completely independent conference, free of the legal backing of James Madison University, with whom we have operated over the past ten years. The conference will now be housed completely in the Harrisonburg downtown area with the support of local independent venues and businesses.

I don't really understand what happened. Some to-do with JMU, as far as I can surmise. Anyway, save up all your indie/emo/whatever juice for next year. I'm betting on a great fest.
