Hello Brothers!

OK, I'm calling on all who have organized cigar box guitar festivals to PLEASE assist me, as I am in the beginning stages of organizing Kansas City, Missouri's first cigar box guitar festival. I have NEVER done anything like this and don't know where to begin. I only know that I feel like Kevin Costner in FIELD OF DREAMS in that I need to do this. Forget the fact that I'm the only cigar box guitar builder/performer here! I want to bring others to KC.

So, I'd love to hear from you St. Louis bottleneckers and those of you revolutionaries in Nebraska, Kansas, even Iowa--anyone willing to make the trek to Missouri.

And I especially need help with just planning, because I have no idea what I'm doing nor what it will cost to do it.

And I welcome all suggestions and viewpoints. Tell me how you were successful in hosting an event. Tell me what worked, what didn't--anything and everything.

I'm not sure what a reasonable timetable is. Is next summer to soon?

Help me. please...help me!

Hey Sam,

Yeah I build and love to play. I'm always VERY busy with my artwork and illustration. Working on a big animation right now. Let me catch up with you in a few months or so.

I'd love to hang out and exchange ideas and play or what not. Here's my email: bradycreative@yahoo.com. Hit me up sometime and shoot me your email. I'll get a hold of you when I get some time.

Keep that CBG going,
-B

About 3 hours or so. Not too far if it's worth the drive. I acctually do most of my illustration work over the net. Just shot me an email with your ideas or anything: bradycreative.net.

Glad to help a fellow CBG enthusiast,

Hey, I checked out your work, Brady. Nice work. I'd love to work with you...although I'm not sure what I'll be working with in terms of funds. But...maybe.

I build and play, too. I've been pretty lonely here. So it's nice to meet others relatively enarby.

There's another guy in Hutchinson, too, who's interested in helping. He's a builder-player and a graphic artist interested in helping with posters, t-shirts and such!

Yeah, let's meet up sometime.

Don't worry about the funds man. I can hook you up with some artwork for this festival. Just be sure to let everyone know where you got it ;) Shoot me an email when you are ready to discuss ideas and such.
Hey Kevin ... I'm in Iowa and would be willing to travel and / or help if I can.

MIke
I truly appreciate I, Mike! I will certainly keep you in mind. At the VERY least, come and perform when we have the festival!

Great ideas one and all! I really like the piggybacking idea as there are some well established festivals that are probably looking for some new blood to livin' things up!
Thanks, Norm!
