I really hated to hear this this morning. So much work goes in to festivals, but this one in particular just demands so much logistical energy. It just seems impossible to make it work with another date. I'm starting to wonder about Shaky Knees, too. I'm almost to the point to where I believe that everyone should stay home for three weeks. And this is coming from someone who thought it was blown out of proportion originally. It's not a story you like to break in the media biz. Gotta find a new cover story for the paper now. We're thinking about doing something on the impact of NOT having big ears here in Knoxville. Anyone have any ideas in terms of that?

Soooo the big question. Does Big Ears recover after this?
E: Obviously, I think they will. I won't be in attendance next year but I really want them to be back. E2: yo, ACE. Among other things, I picked up a pair of Brötzmann reissues and Peacock's 80s output. Thinking of you, boo.
