I’m actually working on a research paper on festival economic impact right now. Gravitas, in some areas I have opinions. In some areas, like concert promotion, I am a 20 year veteran, one of the most experienced promoters in the region, and a college professor on the subject. When the paper comes out I will post it, and you can see the data, with the foot notes.

Waye, whatever. You’re asking me to take your word for the numbers you’re providing. I have just as much anecdotal evidence for the larger concerts bringing in more people from more locations outside the region. Frankly, your consistent indignation over this issue – you’re a bit of a broken record – smacks of sour grapes: “I didn’t get my share of the dough, so no one else should get any.”

I might come back to your blog when (if?) these issues blow over. For now, your fixation is just a little too repetitive for me. Take care.

Every time a private promoter does Wilco or Steve Earle we have people fly in from Que, On, and New England… should they get money too? What an absurd argument.
