In the last few days since returning home from Powerfest, I have been in contact with several of the bands (from all 3 nights of shows) and quite a few of them have expressed their displeasure of the Pearl Room security and the fact that they didnt get to meet fans after the show. If this continues, it wont just be lack of fans, but lack of bands willing to play there that will make it hard for Powerfest to be as great as it has the potential to be.

Sorry, but I call BULLSHIT on this!!! First of all...the venue has a capacity of 2400 (1400 on 1st level only)...and although selling it out would've been killer, we were right around the 1400 mark...slightly lower on Fri & slightly higher on Sat!!
Second...I don't believe you for a second that you contacted bands & they came back with that feedback!! You are lying!! EVERY band who played...EVERY BAND...made an EFFORT (meaning actually went out of their way) to tell us after they played how KICK FUCKING ASS everything was!! From the venue to the fans to the accomodations...simply everything!! Even the bands that did NOT get a positive response!! That's how much they loved it!! And also that they could NOT FUCKING WAIT to play here again!! So don't give us that BULLSHIT!!!!!
If bands did not come out to meet fans, that was either by choice, or they were busy socializing with others back stage & when they finally came out, ppl were gone. I know this to be a fact with Iced Earth...we actually walked around the corner behind the venue looking for the fans the security guy said were there. Apparently it was too late & the ppl left.
You know...something tells me that you are not new to this board, but someone pretending to be...just to be a dick!!
If you want to bash the fest, please go to some other forum....and bitch away!! I just don't understand this...I wouldn't go to your house & shit on your floor....why do you do that to us?
You have been warned!! We're just so fucking sick of ppl bitching!! If you only had a glimpse to what goes into it...maybe then you & everyone like you would appreciate it more. Nah...I doubt it. Once a cunt, always a cunt! And it's time to clean house. We'll shut this fucker down before we tolerate any more of this consistent bashing & "suggestion" giving. If you want to offer a suggestion, feel free to email or PM us...but to post it publically, like you're trying to point out how fucking stupid we are...FAH-Q!!
Think of Powerfest as CRJ's baby, & anyone who bashes the fest is bashing our baby...and will not be tolerated.
And before you say something like..."wow, you just lost a fan/attendee" or whatever the fuck like that...I'll save you the trouble...if you don't like what we have to offer, stay the fuck HOME!!!!
And in the slight chance you are indeed new here, and just wanted to share your negative feedback not knowing that we've had other ppl always offering their "great advice", then sorry you had to feel the wrath...but after what we've been through this weekend...and the last 6 months+ of planning this fucking thing, our fuses are extremely short with people who think they know better and think that we haven't addressed every fucking single point you & everyone else has made (months ago!!)...therefore, resulting in what comes across as not appreciating our efforts. Some things you just can't change & other things are still part of taking chances & testing shit out to eventually have the "perfect" fest. You think this shit is easy?! That anyone can do this?! Then take your best shot...good luck!!
Sorry for the rant & coming across as a dick...but we're (CRJ) all very passionate about this & have reached our boiling point with un-appreciation!!
