Honestly, I'd like to get an official announcement out before the end of the year, at least regarding the dates of the fest. We're working hard to make that happen, but John & I have a lot to do in our personal lives between now and January. Everyone hang on to that enthusiam and anticipation! We luv ya for it!
Yeah we do, but rest assured all we will be working on this every free minute we have. I guess we can announce the dates right now. The date for Texas Madfest is Friday July 13 and Sat July 14. We are still in the process of confirming the venue but that should be done by the end of next week. Then we will announce the bands. Justin is working on the web site, and i have decided on a host for it, so that will be up and running soon also. Most of the bands are verbally confirmed, we are just waiting on a couple to get back with us. Same with the sponsors. The ticket issue right now is the biggest headache, but we will have that taken care of soon.
I thought i was going to have to have major surgery(Hip Replacement) but after a few more Dr. Appts we decided on a passive approach(Physical Therapy, and so other stuff) so that has been put wayyyyyyyyyy on the back burner. I now know what Sir Glenn goes through(to a smaller extent) each year to bring us the best festival in the world. If the headaches we are having is even 10% of what he goes thru each year then I bow to him and his presistance, and there had not be another person to slam the line up or any decision he makes or i will get my Texas undies in a knot, and well.... lets just say until you walk a mile in his shoes don't say a word.
Glenn's job is probably easier than yours in many ways at this point. He has a system down, he has a venue, he has his support team, he has equipment, he has experience, he has a validation in many bands eyes, he has a loyal following, he knows he's going to sell decently well, etc.
But I'm sure he still has a million stresses that come with finding bands, booking bands, dealing with bitchers and moaners, dealing with overpriced hotels, and logistics.
Those dates are pretty good. Based on who you get I know I'll try hard to go.

It all takes time. You may make mistakes. But if you do, do not have it done towards any band. Or else they will never forgive you. Good luck. Any questions please ask.
