2007-03-27 13:13:41 Jerry Lee Lewis is pretty cool. Let's forget the fact that he married his 13 year old cousin... but his music is good. —KimBee
2007-03-27 13:16:16 I went to the 2005 festival and had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend buying a club pass if you plan to go to a good number of shows. If I remember the show and club pass prices correctly from 2005, I think going to about 7 or 8 shows made the club pass worth it. It doesn't get you into the big shows at Eastman Theatre, but it gets you into a bunch of the smaller shows at several different venues. Be sure to get to shows early; a lot of them fill up quickly. Don't forget to bring enough money for food and drinks—as with most festivals, the prices can get a bit steep. —RachelBlumenthal
2007-06-18 18:35:47 Congrats on the great turnout this year. This was my first time attending and I must say, the music was excellent, the Beer was cold and the weather was perfect. Thanks also to all of the volunteer workers and thanks to the musicians, you put on quite the show. I will definitely be attending future ones. —RickUrwin
