On Saturday night, March 17, 2007, The Secret History of the Cedar Valley opened to a crowd of over 150 at the Wartburg College Art Gallery in Waverly, IA. In attendance were many of the musicians involved in the bands represented in the exhibit.
Among those attending were Steve Turner, all members of Drednex and Aggressive Chubbies, Barb of House of Large Sizes, Clair Clarke, Colin Lamb (Ran sound at Dean's Parkade Lounge), Chris Kenline, Sara Shelton, Nathan Perry, John Fecik, Denise Narey, Matt Borger, Derek Reynolds, Jay Perkins, Scott Ream, Marcus Brewer, Leah & Chuck Hoffman, Steve Potter, Mike Wilson, Blake Badker, Stephen Oulman, Neils Thulstrup, Noel Isley, Dana Lechtenberg, Josh Otten and Cam from FSU Garage, Heather & Justin Baumgartner, Benjy Klosterman and Jason & Justin from Old Scratch Revival Singers.
Attendees came from as far away as San Francisco CA, Oakland CA, Portland OR, Minneapolis MN, Jonesboro AR, Iowa City IA, and Des Moines IA.
Wartburg Professor Emeritus Arthur Frick said it was the largest crowd he had ever seen at an art opening at Wartburg College in the history of the art gallery.
It was a great success! Thanks to everyone who helped to make this exhibit possible!
I will be posting photos soon! (If you took photos at the opening, I would be interested in getting copies--please email me).

Really wish I could have been there Matthew. Something you might want to check out - my friend Andrew and I have started a myspace for IowaHardcore - www.myspace.com/iowahardcore. The idea is to bring back the old idea of iowahardcore.com, a central place to promote all scenes across Iowa and bring some unity to the different citieis/scenes. Hope you are well man, I'll see you soon.
