Lee\'s Campground; Saratoga Springs, NY

[skalnbyc]

all this promoter did was eat drugs and make colored pencil drawing of a bear with a ******** so that everyone thinks the festival will be heady.

With the ********, the heady factor of this "festival" is through the roof.

If Lee\'s Campground was a publicly traded company, I\'d definitely take a sizable position (short of course!).

Not sure what all the hate is about. The breakfast agreed to play the show and the promoter is going to pay them.

Nuff said.

And how many festivals are the guys booked for this summer ? and a decent time slot ?

thats what I thought. He has to actually like them to give them a headlining slot because this band does not draw fans to shows.

And how many first year fests fail??? Liberate anyone ?? I didn\'t see any hate towards the guys in VT for promising a show and then not delivering it because they hadn\'t secured the permits from the town. permits and $$ is what you need. None of us thought this show was gonna happen because of the lack of web updates. But the show is going on and I will be there for the Breakfast. Where will you be. Pretending the promoter made you mad because he didn\'t return your e-mails and thats your excuse for not going to the show

How many bars and other festivals failed to promote the band.

And it was only a day or so ago when I heard that the guy was worried about having the $ to pay the bands. Atleast he is going to pay them and not try to weasel out of it.

geesh people. You might not like the guy but atleast he is employing the band.

And if this community actually showed up to support the band at festivals and other places (myself included) perhaps they would be known as a draw

[kindm's]

Also all the talk about busts and the cops.

FUCK YOU GUYS.

I\'ll be there with some of my best friends. The band will be there. other folks from the board etc.

I wouldn\'t wish a bust on anyone. If you have ever been through it you would know.

I guess if I get busted Ill just tell them that you guys sold me the shit and tell them where they can find you is that fair ?

i dont care how much they are getting paid. thats not my business. i just wanted some real information about whats going on so i could have decided if it was worth going to.

thats what I thought. He has to actually like them to give them a headlining slot because this band does not draw fans to shows.

then maybe this info should have been made available somewhere. like on the page of their website that promises more info will be made available soon.

Perhaps his website desinger bailed on them like someone we know or any other issues. Perhaps they were too busy worrying abotu important shit like $$$ and being able to pay the other bands.

And if you really want to bitch about websites lets talk about the shady issues with .net ?? perhaps the band should fix there website because oh I don\'t know maybe someone will get all pissy because it takes you to some other shitty site that isn\'t theirs. Or a promoter or potential fan. Nah lets just shit on someone who is actually booking the band. much easier

Money for the band, great!

Headlining a festival, great!

The criticism is with the appearance of a very poorly organized event.

Sure and that criticism is definitely valid. but the show is a go. Perhaps they will learn from their mistakes perhaps not.

no one said anything about wanting people to get busted. i personally know the promoter and his family and i don\'t think he is one to skimp out on a paying a band, especially if it\'s one of hte only ones that will show up and perform.

there are actually several bands that are preforming:

The Breakfast, Bodhi, One-Eyed-Jack, The Breadbox Band, Maganahan\'s Revival, Apollo 76, Cosmic Trigger, Equalize, The Dramadies, The Attic, Apex Groove, Rocks from The Garden, Djibouti, Bus People, Funkwagon, Triggerlust, Monroe .st Band, Venture Lift, Shotgun Blues, Japhy Ryder, Liquid Fever, Dag, Greyspoke, One Track Mind, The Man, Positive Mental Trip, wiley dobs, Les Bicyclettes Blanches

the only band I know that got cut was the band Buddy Cage was playing with or atleast that is what I heard. that they couldn\'t afford them or something like that. Most of these bands are local is my understanding.

[Rujah]

yeah, i knew other bands were on the bill. I must have mis understood, thought someone mentioned in an early post other bands were backing out and not showing up.

my bad,  I mentioned that they were not sure if some of the bands would play tonight or tomorrow night,  that was poor writing.  I should have said, they are not sure of an exact schedule for performers except the Breakfast start time is et for 8PM.  
There are surely some negative issues to not having good information on web sites etc.  for all that is known about the "meta" of the situations, both the bands and the promoters, the "last word" is that the show is scheduled and the campground is open with One eyed Jack closing tonight.

yeah, it sucks, but what does .net have to offer that .info doesnt?

even if they cant figure out a schedule or even the times the bands are playing until the day of the show these guys could at least put ticket prices on the website. its not like you can find the info elsewhere.
