I went over yesterday and had a good look around,and trying to figure out the best way to route the bands and the traffic,they will need separate access without a doubt. We are going to mow the area wed or thursday so it will be fairly short on sunday,and looks like the weather is going to cooperate as of now,which makes me feel good. Ad going in the paper tomorrow,and running all week. And signs going up at all the intersections also,I even stapled flyers to stopsign poles in PC yesterday..lol There is a camping area there if anyone wants to takes advantage of that,feel free,we have a few people going to camp already,I guess I should put that info on the site as well. Now if my knees would stop knocking I'd be set..

I really do not like being forced into this situation, but the Macedonians are having to pull out of the Festival due to a key member deciding to leave the band. At least one of my sons and myself will still be coming to hear many of the bands perform (he wants to hear some heavy metal) but I just wish the group was going to go through with the commitment already made. Sorry for this news but hope everything else goes really well and hope to see many of you in just a few days.

Yeah, I'm none to pleased with the group at this point, I feel we should have still performed even with one member missing, this situation is not at all fine by me and I just hope it doesn't cause too many problems. Hopefully Sancho- or someone else might have a good replacement and all will be well. I really am looking forward to hearing as many as possible but I do have to work that night (need a nap) so won't be able to stay past about 5pm or so, but we'll see, it will be a good time regardless

Maybe Van can convince them to still come.

I filled the 2pm slot already guys,8 and 11pm are open,I do have another band here that is talking it over and I should know something today.
Van no problems on this end,I was looking forward to hearing your band,but that's the way it goes.I'll see you there.
I've got to take the list to the MC in a while and work out what he's gonna do.
Sounding like a lot of fun,and looks like the weather is on our side too.
Sancho,We can put them in either of those slots if they want,it would be great.Let me know something pretty quick so I can get in on the roster.
I also ran an ad in the paper this morning for the rest of the week.

I prayed for sunshine and I think we're gonna get it. Now I just gotta pray that people come. If you build it, they will come.

Well, my son and I had a good time at the festival. He'd never been to a "concert" before and was looking forward to hearing some live music. He did really well but wasn't tolerating the heat at one point so we mopved to shade and it was great. Didn't get to stay as long as I would have liked but we really did like the groups that we got to hear. Variety is certainly a good word to describe the collection that we saw. Heard some sirens and Rusty...who was that Fed that showed up there around noon that was interrogating you and J-man??? ;D

That was the Monett Times editor,he looks all official,but he's a nice guy,We made the paper though I'm glad you made it van I wish I would have had more time to hang out and shoot the breeze but i was hopping pretty much all day. I'll get some pics up later today At one point everyone went home and we shut down for about an hour and let the sun set behind the trees,then we got a new crowd and finished off the night. It was a lot of fun.
