I gotta say, the Nightgrass lottery is ingenious. Just when you think you’ve organised the flights, got your place to perch, found new friends to groove with, started boning up on hitherto unknown ( but fab) bands suddenly you have to go in a lottery to win the chance of seeing your favourites up close and personal. How awesome is that? Keep the tension alive, add a new frisson of excitement and nervousness so no one gets complacent…I’m already checking my email twenty times every day…
This festival is fantastic and I still haven’t seen a single performer. Come on June. It’s going to be great.
I entered for at least one show Wed through Sat. I’m have no fear I’ll get most of what I want (especially since I plan on skipping The Sheridan this year), either now or through the second hand market for face value.
Honestly, I’m not even trying for Saturday shows. I just saw Greensky in Cleveland, and I don’t want to miss any Salmon on Sat. I need a break one night! Tarp line comes waaaay too early after nightgrass (at my advanced age).
Pending charge from Planet Bluegrass! Based on the amount I hit Greensky, Salmon and Fruition! Now I just need a Yonder Conference Center and I’ll be set. WooHoo, love Nightgrass!!
Both of my friends in a couple scored charges. Nothing for us (as usual) so far. I know we will at least be at Yonder and hopefully Greensky or one other.
Looks like I just got Mustered Courage. Put in for three Sheridan shows and didn’t get any, unfortunately. Looks like I’ll be begging for extras at the venue!
