Doesn't anyone understand that these artist aren't here for FREE! or because they just love Seaside!!!! In order to host event like this someone has to pay (providing jobs) for these awesome people/friends and wonderful musicians. Until events like this takeoff and recieve major spon $$, then they could be a FREE event. Just my 2 cents....I think many of the Seaside folks and surrounding towns "peeps" are a bit spoiled since ALL of the past music events in the Amptheather are FREE. These musicians are not your local weekend 250.00 bands...
The parking signs along 30-A, you can thank Cindy M. and the Cnty Comm. for them.
Oh well, "can't please everyone all of the time".
Please keep in mind this event is being done in the middle of the "tightest" towns. You have to get a permit to fart or post a sign that you're going to fart.
Remember, Mercants want people there, but homeowners and board don't!
Just come to support the musician and the merchants. This weekend will be a blast.
Yes, I think most take it as a given that the musicians are paid and are not complaining that there was a charge to enter...I know that I am accustomed to paying to hear good music. And we are more than thankful that the musicians were supported by being hired to play this festival.
There is, however, a difference between 1. supporting jazz musicians who were affected by Katrina by hiring them, and
2. having the "proceeds" from an event go back to a non-profit organization that supports musicians affected by Katrina. I wanted clarification.
And referring to your local weekend 250.00 bands" statement. Many bands/musicians who live locally travel as these recent jazz musicians did here, to other festivals all over the country to support themselves.
