Hey there--
I have been out of touch big time for the past few months due to my heavy travel schedule for work, so I wanted to update everyone on what is going on behind the scenes. I am currently looking at all options for the festival for next year--talking to headliners, looking at venue selections etc., etc.,
Im going to try to keep the festival at the same time-- it is before the European festival scene, and the summer tours, so it really works out well for most of the bands.
There are a number of different possibilities on the table right now, so bear with us while we get this together.. My chief problem right now is how to balance the financial issues. As many of you are aware, this is a VERY expensive festival to put together because of San Francisco costs, travel costs, band costs etc., The one thing that I ask of you is that if you have a great desire for a specific band, and the ability to contribute financially to make this happen, please let me know immediately.. Also-- if you have any desire to help in any other way on the festival and have experience that you would deem relevant to the show- please let me know!
I am completely overwhelmed that we were able to create a superb experience for both the bands and the fans a few months ago. I intend to do this over again and keep the flame alive in San Francisco for our kind of music. We might not have the huge fan base of other cities in the US, but I believe that we have the greatest supporters of people who enjoy the fest, and also the best place in the world to visit for the bands and the fans who come from out of town to visit!
All the best
David
