Donny:  Good ideas.  I have a few contacts in the Columbus area that may be a possibility.  I'll check it out and get back to you sometime next week.

Ah- excellent question. I've never organized a festival before but I do know it would take a few of us bumping our heads together to bounce around some ideas. My first thought would be to decide on a local that's fairly central. As for a first year location (once a city is decided on).... maybe a cigar shop parking lot? Hopefully it would grow to where we would need a bigger location in the future. Do some "grass roots" marketing to get the word out, hopefully attract a few vendors for food/drinks and whatever else we can think of. Seek out some sponsors if we draw enough public intrest. Some kids activities/workshops (to build diddly bo's, and canjos...) And maybe have some people actually playing (except me- all I can do is make noise right now). And, I'd shoot for early fall when it starts to cool down a bit- it would give us some time to put it all together....

Donny:  Perhaps your idea could work.  What next?

Greetings all,

I don't think I have introduced myself yet but I have been a member of the forum for a bit now. I think I have seen this posted a while back, but has any one tried to coordinate any kind of festival or something? Maybe not just CBG fest, but broaden it out to a home-made instrument type of fest?

And greetings Jim- I live in Dublin and my work office (when I am there) is off of East Broad, down a bit from the hospital.

Hi all, I'm Jason. My friends call me Zap. I live in the New Philly/Canton area and am enjoying building and my playing my CBG's. I got into CBG's, homemade amps and pedals just in the last year. I build vintage Brit bikes, pinball machines, jukebox's, and hot rods as well. If anyone gets in the area feel free to drop me a line.

Hello Joe do you play at Cad. Jacks? I'm from Minster - like to hear you or anyone else play a CBG.

Hello I'm Joe, from centerville (dayton). I work for time warner cabele as a serviice tech. If anyone is close to kettering, apparently Caddilac Jacks has an "open mic" blues night every Friday. You can play guitar, drums or whatever you want with others.

No, we have not got anything going locally. Between work, family, and church it does not leave much time. Especially to be out at clubs late at night. I have hit a few open mics but that's about it. Hell even if we just got together at a park for a cook out and some cbg pickin' would be a good time. I will be out of town for the next couple of weekends, but we could start thinking about something for this fall.
