OK So once we had so many bands wanting to play,and I called the park to work out the details he had to "Call the City". This has tuened into an "Event" and not just some people getting together playing music for a couple of hours is what he told me. So with that the City Counsel called and wants a detailed events roster. How many bands are playing,when we start,when we end,how many people are projected to attend,blah blah blah. Then they are going to put it to a vote at the next council meeting,but in her words,"we usually don't promote this type of thing". So I'm guessing we're not going to get approval.
Ok so I've called everyone I know to call here in town,and no one wants to play nice with us.Bunch of Fuddy Duddies..lol
Here's the good news There always is good news!
My Dad has a farm that we can use. It's 6 miles farther to drive,but it is out of the city limits,and right alongside US97,easy access,easy to find,and we will have no BS with the city officials,and my uncle who lives there doesn't care if we play.I did clear it with him also.We have 40 acres to use,and it's free So I'm going to be going there in a few weeks and starting to run the electric,and working out where to position the trailers,ect. I feel like we'll be better having this thing out of town anyway.
The address to the property so you can google it is
21515 MO 97
65723
Click here for directions
I also have a tent being setup so we won't have to worry about the weather so much.
The bands can set up tables,and sell their CD's,T-Shirts,whatever,that's fine with me,in fact I encourage it.I will be contacting all the bands that have signed up,and to them what happened,and hopefully it'll be OK. I am really upset that the city would let us get this far and turn on us like they did,but that's the way they are.
Sorry for the confusion,this will be the last time we have to change I promise.
Keep an eye on this thread,I will update with any changes relating to this event.
