Media Blitz

Whoo Hoo!

Baldapalooza is behind us.

It was crazy, magical, scary and stressful

all rolled into one.

The music was magnificent---

the turn out?

Not so great.

I think we got beat up by all the high school games.

We'll see what the numbers show after all the bills are paid

and money counted.

Our volunteers were incredible-- we probably

had a hundred people behind the scenes making it all come together.

We had lots of great media.

I started my morning at 4 something

(actually, Kean had me up at 3)...

but I went on our local ABC station's morning show 

with the Boy Band - Beyond 5.

They not only sounded great 

but had everyone quite charmed by

the time we left. 

 By the way, they went on to do a surprise assembly  at the local

middle school where they were rushed by approximately 1200

clapping, screaming, out of control students!

Oh to be 13 again!

I picked up Stuart (lead singer) and Robbie (lead guitarist)

from the band Fictionist.

Love these guys.  Fictionist just finished touring with Imagine Dragons

and starts another tour in a few weeks with the Neon Trees.

Together we got to do a 20 minute interview with Radio Boise--

pretty cool to get to talk about Baldapalooza in depth

and have the guys talk about their music and play a few

new tracks from their upcoming next album.

We crammed all of this in before getting to the park to get everything ready.

I want you to know, during the festival, I didn't take a single picture.

I'll hopefully post some tomorrow from our event photographer.

I did do one more interview late in the evening for the CBS station--

by then, I was pretty exhausted

but here's a link about Balda.
