The sixth annual NEARfest returned to Zoellner Arts Center on the Lehigh University campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, on the weekend of July 10-11, 2004, after a two-year stint in Trenton, New Jersey. It felt good to return “home.”

Artist Roger Dean attended his 4th consecutive fest as artist-in-residence and designed the hawk logo for this year. Annie Haslam made her first appearance and displayed her recent forays into oil painting. The ubiquitous Larry Fast, NEARfest veteran, was seen walking the halls throughout the weekend. The Friday night pre-show was held in Baker Hall and featured Quebec’s remarkable The Musical Box performing Genesis’ white Selling England By The Pound show. Several dozen On-Reflection listmembers attended.
