Subject: RE: Review: Kalan Porter
Went up on Saturday morning and left at 6 p.m. Enjoyed several acts and was taken by a young group from New York. They go by the name of "Crescent and Frost".
However, following up on "Cet" comment. I do have something that bothered me. Just before paying the entrance fee, I was approached by a young lady and asked if I listened to C.B.C., I said yes and then I began getting a speech about the current labor dispute. I held up my hand and said that I was here for the musice and not politics. About 5 feet further there was a table with a lady sitting behind and one in front shaking a can that held some coins. The poster besides the table said something about "Food Bank". Then about another 5 feet I was directed to a table to pay my $30.00 for a day pass.
I know that "CUPE" (Canadian Union of Public Employees)is the major sponsor of the festival and as well a food bank is of great importance, but to hit you just as your coming in left me with a bad taste. Maybe because I am a festival organizer and I keep looking for ideas to improve our festival.
