I came into the office today to a message from our local newspaper, The Augusta Chronicle, asking me if we were taking part in this year's James Brown Music Festival. I haven't called them back yet because I feel I really need to think about this.
Anyone that was a part of last years saw all of the hassle, inexperience and chaos that went on with the "founders" of the festival. If you guys really wish to come back and do it again or give it a shot for the first time, I might could be persuaded.
Post me here, email me @ shanna@karnalpromotions.com or fax me at 706.447.1277 if you are interested. My decision will be based on if you are wanting to participate or not.
Last year the festival did not pay the bands and did help a few out with meals, hotel etc but it was rare and a damn hard fight on my part to even get that. I would expect the same this year, though I have not made contact with them yet.
I will leave this completely up to you guys.
You can call me as well at 706.447.1277 but I will only be available from about 8:30 pm until 9:30pm each night for these calls.
Thanks and best of luck to you guys.
