Howdy Folks,
A different year here on The Planet, to be sure. For awhile now, we’ve put tickets on sale quietly and slowly leaked some of the artists playing the show.
Though we intentionally were kinda quiet the last two months in an effort to make tickets most available to those paying attention, our four day tickets were gone in something like 18 minutes. Our new shopping cart had a hiccup or two, but blasting out those tickets in 18 minutes leaves me to think the “cart” itself preformed pretty well.
A moment on the Planet Bluegrass Staff, if you please, - they’ve been in here for a month with no running water, heat or sewer to get ready for you guys… an ethernet cord and temporary electric cord laid on the ground.
I’m really proud of them for their commitment to “next year”, as always.
But, this year is pretty special for us. As we’ve seen our “headquarters” essentially demolished, we simultaneously experience a festivarian spirit that we wish was not called upon so directly, but relieved to have it fuel us.
I think each of you reading these words would love to have been here with us the last few weeks; and, in many ways you were.
We should soon have heat on The Planet. Running water even! The days will soon become longer. Mischevious plans for music on The Planet are underway; but… for all of us, the MAIN thing…
is Telluride.
And, Next Year.
Who’s playing?
Well, time for some tidbits to start leaking out. Yes, we’ve been distracted wandering our home and wondering how, but we never wondered if.
So… yea… who’s playing…
Well, we’ll have a name or two leading up to our first wave of announcements a week from tomorrow…
suffice it to say… it begins and ends with our dear friend Sam.
Forty consecutive years for Sam Bush.
Our first announcement, The Sam Bush Band.
When you have to rebuild, the foundation comes first.
Love and THANKS to all, from The Planet.
