I'm reasonably happy that the conversation has drifted in the direction of my first reaction to this event -- the $90 ticket price and the ".com' rather than ".org" address will put this event out of my price range and leaves unanswered the question of what percentage of the monies raised will actually go to the good cause it ostensibly supports.

Love of Pete and appreciation of his many, many contributions to music and society notwithstanding, I'd rather see Clearwater supported with more grassroots events and sweat equity, but that conjures up an ideal world that cetainly doesn't exist today and perhaps never did.
