Springfest, as a bluegrass festival?
« on: March 05, 2009, 06:17:45 PM »
So, now that Rhombus is running Springfest, and after talking to them they have already booked two bluegrass bands for the event... Nothing against bluegrass, But I don't foresee this as being a welcomed change the usual rock/alt and booze drinking that is known as springfest.

Anyone else?

I imagine the boozing will be the same.  Maybe people will be more chill with bluegrass music.  It's usually got a pretty good beat.

The main thing I see as a change that will hurt more is the 5 dollar cover. People go to springfest to get drunk, not to see a band and stand at the park. I just don't think it will go over as well. Count me wrong if it does... I've just seen how anti cover charge this town is. Its ridiculous.

There was never a cover before?

I guess I always just thought of overpriced beer as a cover charge.  Why go to the park and drink when I hang out somewhere else and drink for cheaper?
