Heck, I don't live in Seaside and I spotted merchants wearing t-shirst promoting the event prior, posters hung around town and Destin, PCB, FWB, local newspaper print and heard from friends they saw out of town newspaper ads. Was in NOLA for some kickbutt music and spotted the Seaside Jazz ad in their program.
Photos and recordings are hard to deal with, since many musicians have contract requriements banning them. Yes, Y-Tube and Myspace are great but not everyone is hip to that type of promoting.
Website has been up and running promoting and informing on this event. Come on man, get off the negitive bus!!!
I would not want a job like this, trying to start something fresh and please everyone. Kudos to the person or persons trying to pull this off and create a wonderful music event.
thanks for the scoop Vol1. you are right - I did see lots of info throughout seaside (I picked up several postcards) over the last several weeks because I was shopping and hanging out in seaside quite a bit. and I saw some news ads as well. I posted it right here on sowal, and it was announced on this thread as well. who knows what the real deal is going on here. I know several couples who had tickets for the weekend but ended up not going Fri night because of other things going on, and the weather was a little iffy for a while. we will come out next weekend and support the event!
you know, if its anything like an exclusive event such as the wine fests, I always consider this event to be for tourists, so I never even think of going. no thanks on the all day wine drinking crowd of vacationers. but this kind of event should be way cooler than the wine festival.
