Misprint vs. FunFunFunFest 2011

For the second year, Misprint has teamed up with our friends at Transmission Entertainment to create the official program for FunFunFunFest 2011. Its useful for knowing exactly when Danzig is playing or finding the portopottys or getting the 100% true Misprint facts regarding Slayer and how much they love Yogurt.
