I got my letter saying, "We don't want you to perform but you can volunteer to work at the festival if you'd like! That's a worthy substitute! If you do, we MAY let you play sometime in the future."

Yeah, right.

Last year was my first time at ComFest. I'd just gotten to town. I saw some great music but I also saw a LOT of crap. They think I can't do better than that but they'll let me pick up their garbage? Really uncool.

I heard the Jambulance moved to Atlanta.

We got our letter. Nice font.

Some bands are alittle more descrete than others...*chuckle*

Holy smokes.

i just deposited my comfest stimulus check

mickey thomas is one of the great singers in rock history...the simple mention of his name makes me want to throw on an elvin bishop record.

wait what

Well, whatever. I think it's in poor taste to send the email they sent me. If they don't want me playing, don't ask me to work with the suggestion that it MAY help me get a performing slot in the future. Bad form.

i thought it was common knowledge that if you don't or haven't volunteered then you don't play

Really? When did Michelle Shocked volunteer?

What jobs did the guys from Black 47 have?

good question

seriously though

that's the case as i understand it

I could seriously imagine michelle shocked dishing out some vegan chili or something...that's not all that much of a stretch, right?

I'm here to inspire you.

I am happy to announce that Todd May of the Lillybandits will also be playing. This is a free event with great music with a chance to sign up to volunteer if you are interested and is open to every one.

Volunteering at Comfest gets you tokens and a t-shirt and is a great way to contribute to our community. You also meet good people. Not such a bad deal.

Does volunteering automatically get you into ComFest? No, but I assure you that it is a factor and when we get down to the last few spots to fill, it can be, and often is the deal breaker.

Hope to see you all there.

Oh by the way, Michelle S. is so excited to preform at comfest, she reduced her fee drastically, and to cut our expenses will be crashing on couches of comfest committee members rather than staying at hotels and we are giving her tokens instead of a food allowance. She seems like a really neat lady and I cant wait to hear her speak and play.
