I'd like to give a shout out to everyone who gave us ideas for new cover songs, especially those I called during our band meeting (you know who you are!).
It's a lot of fun playing different stuff, lots of positive energy.
Cheers! -B

I am going to post here because it seems to be getting the most traffic and need some info. I talked to Nathan about this earlier but it seems there is going to be a big (if it's pulled off) music festival in Montgomery County Sept. 27-30 at an undisclosed farm. Shannon Denniston is helping to put it on and we have a mutual friend and I see him from time to time. As of now, Nappy Roots, Seven Mary Three and 100 other bands are going to be there. Four days and five stages are what they are promoting. Nathan told me that someone from his camp contacted you guys via myspace and if you are interested I have a disc I can give him and put in a word or two but if not or you are already connected with someone else then run with it. Just let me know, I don't mind making a few phone calls. Michael

I've been in touch. I still feel in my heart of hearts that they're going to bust before they get off the ground...but we'll see. Shannon wants a press kit, so I'll get one out soon.

GOOD. I feel ya' man. I think it will be a big suprise to lots of people if it's pulled off and egg on lots of people's faces if it's not. There have already been write ups in the paper about it. It's a grandeos plan and I hope it goes through and doesn't end up a big melee and free-for-all.

well - if you'll notice, there aren't 100 bands lined up. there are about 10 max. they're just hoping to have 100 bands. we're talking a few million dollars just in headline contracts. I had a committee meeting with the organizers of Ichthus (the christian festival in wilmore) and when I showed them the Gateway festival plan they just laughed! The guys that organize Ichthus are organizing the first annual Hullabaloo for Habitat this year. September 29th. So far we've got: Dean Osborne and J.D. Crowe The Impressions - Marvin Gaye's old band Ascension - Multiple Grammy Award Winners - Also includes Reggie Wooten (Vic's Bro.) Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Insert whatever accolades you wish here! Local Spirits - Hmmm - How did these guys get on the bill..... And I'm searching for 3 or 4 other regional/local acts.
So mark your calendar!

Yo B - I just sent you a myspace message to check out. But scratch my comment on the ebay auction....I think congratulations are in order! That's sweet. I'm sure you'll be happy with that purchase.
