The legendary R. Stevie Moore rarely plays live anywhere, and he's never played out west before. But in less than two weeks, R. Stevie's coming to play KDVS presents Operation: Restore Maximum Freedom XI, and NoBunny's coming, too! Plus, a killer lineup of local Sacramento-area bands and artists that's surely the
best local lineup of any O:RMF yet, including Zach Hill and AFS fave Charles Albright.

This is happening on Saturday, May 14, in the park-like backyard of Plainfield Station, 23944 County Road 98 in Woodland, just a couple miles north of Davis city limits surrounded by millions of acres of farmland. The show starts at 2:00pm with the incredible UC Davis Samba School and ends at 10pm.

Advance tickets are only $10 and available via PayPal AT THIS LINK HERE, or at Phono Select Records at 2312 K Street in Sacramento. Tickets are $15 at the door the day of the show.

Okay, R. Stevie fans....Don't wait for him to come to your town. You gotta come to ours if you wanna see him this time. This is a special fly-in event...not a tour!

What to bring to O:RMF XI fest...

a car-load of friends
blanket to spread out on the lawn
extra cash for food and beer
extra cash for band merchandise
a major appetite for the 1.0 lb + bacon & cheese Plainfield burger!

Don't worry about sunscreen. We've got tons.

This is worth a drive from the Bay Area, especially.
Don'tcha know that May is one of the few times every year when this valley has better weather than the Bay Area? Dress for summer heat in the mid-80s, and bring one or two sensible layers for the last couple of bands after dusk falls.

Nevermind Googlemaps. Here's the directions from the Bay...

(1) Take I-80 east toward Sacto
(2) After passing Dixon, merge into rightmost lane
(3) Take Hwy 113 North cut-off toward Woodland
(4) Exit at Road 29; turn right at end of exit onto Road 29
(5) Turn right at 2nd stop sign onto Road 98....and park!
We'll be right by that corner.

From Sacto...

(1) Take I-80 west toward San Francisco
(2) As you pass downtown Davis, merge into the rightmost lane
(3) Take Hwy 113 North cut-off toward Woodland
(4) Exit at Road 29; turn right at end of exit onto Road 29
(5) Turn right at 2nd stop sign onto Road 98....and park!
We'll be right by that corner.

From the north...

(1) Take I-5 south toward Sacto
(2) In Woodland, take the Hwy 113 South cut-off toward Davis
(3) Exit at Road 29; turn right at end of exit onto Road 29
(4) Turn right at 2nd stop sign onto Road 98....and park!
We'll be right by that corner.
