The prelude to Eagle Rock's and Northeast L.A.'s biggest night of the year—the upcoming 15th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival on Oct. 5—was held Thursday at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, where scores of guests gathered for a party in honor of the festival's sponsors.

Although it was somewhat disappointing that the lineup of bands was not disclosed—that news is expected sometime Friday—partygoers bid on a silent auction that included a signed artist proof of "C'mon Everybody" by renowned artist Shepard Fairey. Some of the other auction goodies were Disney Park hopper passes, IPic movie passes, iPhone accessories and fitness classes.
