September 13, 2014, and the Sauk County Fairgrounds in Baraboo are the time and place for Fighting Bob Fest number 13.

Following next weekend's Bob Fest, FightingBob.com will stop posting new material and will transition into a new online life as a virtual archive. We believe it is important to preserve the content we have produced and captured here. So we will. But we will no longer put up new articles and blog posts.

FightingBob.com was born at the first Fighting Bob Fest in 2002. You asked for a website that embodied the spirit and captured the content of Bob Fest--because at that time there was no such thing in existence--and we have done our best to provide that since February 2003. We are proud of what we have produced and maintained in these 11-plus years. We filled a void, and, thank goodness, that void is not nearly as large as it was when we started.

This year's slate of Bob Fest speakers continues the unbroken tradition of Fest excellence and includes Chris Hedges, Senator Bernie Sanders, Ed Garvey, Mike Wiggins Jr., Will Durst, Michael Copps, Robert McChesney, Congressman Mark Pocan, Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke and a host of others.

Register now!

The annual Bob Fest kick-off event is Friday night, September 12, at 7 p.m. at the Barrymore Theater in Madison. Sanders and Durst will join Ed Garvey, Lisa Graves, Ruth Conniff, Matt Rothschild, and a number of musicians and elected officials to get the Bob Fest ball rolling. Tickets for the kick-off are $10 and can be ordered online or by calling the Barrymore (608-241-8633) or the Progressive magazine offices (608-257-4626).
