GonzoFest will not be happening on June 19, 2010 as originally planned. Here’s part of a note I received from Erin Biles, Public Relations Manager for Flying Dog:
Thank you so much for your interest in Gonzofest 2010 on June 19. Unfortunately, we have decided to reschedule the party until later this year. The amount you spent on tickets will be refunded directly to your purchasing account within the next 24 hours.
We don’t throw parties that suck and it became clear to us last week that we won’t be able to throw a kick-ass party here at the brewery. We will pick a new venue and a new date soon, and you will be one of the first to know.
…
Thanks again for your support of Flying Dog Brewery and we look forward to partying with you soon!
It sucks that they didn’t figure this out until after they’d already started selling tickets. I hope they don’t choose a date where I already have a commitment. That would really suck.
Still, it’s probably a good thing. Parking logistics last year were, shall we say, sub-optimal. Having two sessions this year, even with two hours buffer between them, is probably too ambitious. Having to truck all that beer to another location is going to be a cost they didn’t anticipate, and woe unto them if they run out of beer.
As soon as I know something I’ll let you know.
p.s., I might have a couple of tickets to give away. I’ll keep you posted.
