Oh, please don't misread me. I have assisted several fledgling festivals and events. Some have flourished others have not. Many times I and others like me have been lost in the shuffle as these events have taken off. Still, I'd do it again. And again! And again!
If you succeed, you will be overwhelmed in the coming years and even the best of intentions can get lost in all of it. I'm only trying to encourage you and offer a little advice.
Now, I have a studio to set up so I'm outa here!
Good luck with it all.
Sincerely.
Jim
