Kepi Ghoulie at first Rockage Fest in San Jose Sunday

Posted on February 7, 2012 by markweiss86

I am psyched to see good ol’ Kepi Ghoulie at the first Rockage Festival in San Jose Sunday.
The two-day event for gaming and music is produced by Eric Fanali of Grand Fanali Productions of San Jose. Fanali has produced about 1,000 concerts, including a run at Palo Alto’s Mitchell Park Center, over the last 15 or so years; he got started as a fifteen-year-old at Saratoga High, where teachers compared the kid to Steven Spielberg. (Eric is also a film buff).
For a while we had a running joke that we were like Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzmann in “Rushmore” and of course I cannot think of their names but Fanali would get it in a snap.
Good luck to Eric and Rockage. Remember even dwarves started small!
