Is there such an event? If not, why not!

A few of us here on the nation have made contact and are talking about a local gathering. An event to show our boxes, talk about them on every level and all that relates. I've seen related to this going on around or near my area, if there is I'd like information please.

It wouldn't take much to get it started, however if it turned into something big, I'm sure there's enough talent to step up to the plate and organize an event near St. Louis, at a local Deli, club or coffee house needing a few hour of interesting excitement.

If you have ideas or interest, post them here and lets see what develops.

The screener sounded enthusiastic about me getting her the info hope get back quick to set it up be good shot in the arm

Here is the link for St. Louis 1st annual CBG festival this Saturday from NOON till 6: PM.

June 8, 2013 CBG live streaming link noon - 6:pm

The wife and I just got back... We were there for about 4 hours and took some pics:

Turned out very nice for a first event...Decent crowd, looked like a lot of vendors were selling pretty well... And the crew at the Highway 61 Roadhouse were great.   We ate lunch...Good food.

A little dissapointed with the lack of CBG jamming..... The two acts pictured, the Thin Dimes and Justin Johnson seemed to have the day pretty well tied up.

Glad you came and enjoyed the Festival. Nice pictures!

I'm sorry most of us missed the chance to perform, however a few did on the tail end of the event. Justin Johnson shared the stage with a few willing Mr.C being one of them.

Thanks, see ya next year!

I loved it today!

The festival turned out great. So many things we could have done, should have done etc. So many things were perfect like the food and drinks and weather. All the venders came prepared with a wide variety of instruments that cultivated an interest in what we do. The performers we top notch, would have liked to have seen more open mic, some of you play beautifully inside your booths, however a few performers came forward near the end as the crowd died down. I made several friends and met many interesting people. Overall, this festival was a huge success! We take from it a lot of knowledge to guild us in preparing for next years event. Thanks to everyone who participated and all who have given their support.
