If WSS still came here, this SIG would be tailor-made for him.

Hahah literal LOL.
I'll throw in my 2 cents. I've helped throw a few raves ranging from 200 person to 3000, and I have some friends that work for/own some of the bigger concert promotion/production companies in Canada. Booking and paying for the talent is the least of your problems. Venue, staff, equipment/staging, and insurance require way more money and planning than the bands. If this is something you're genuinely interested in Geno, I would suggest trying to get in with an already established company to learn the ropes and/or throw some small gigs to get a feel for it.

I've had this dream many, many times. I've got a scenic urban venue in mind that would be easy to expand into a sort of lollapalooza meets SXSW thing (no camping, no parking) and I know a guy who has put on 1 day (15 band) festivals before.
The problem is the money and the political red tape (permits, neighborhood sign-off, blah blah blah).
Trust me. If I ever win the lottery, this is happening.

Fun related story, me and a friend are actually talking about doing a Hopscotch-esque festival in Charleston, but it would be kind of a non-profit thing that mostly focuses on local talent and getting music foundations to fund it. I assume what everyone's talking about here is probably more of a straight-up business music festival though.

You guys are dreaming small and realistic. Kickstarter is for big ideas.
I say we let HG curate the main stage, Pea the Dance Tent, and FD the weirdo stage. Fuck local bands and shit, let's make it a dream lineup every year. The best bands aren't the biggest, we know that, you don't need a Radiohead every year to make a bomb festival. Make it the kind of festival Tom Waits wants to play at. Get bands nobody even calls but everyone has heard of or listens to. Have bands every other festival gets play special sets. Put it in a wild and unique venue, make the tickets cheap and unscalpable. A real dream festival. That shit would go viral.

This is what I was shootin for.
Like seriously. If we can get support on kickstarter we can get this thing going for sure.
Plus, there are tons of Portland bands that would be able to play the first year. We don't have to go all dream fest the first year, just get a decent lineup and work from there.

Not unless you want people to confuse it with Freak Night that takes place in Seattle.

We'll have to do better than that. A good festival name is preferably a.) a non-copyrightable nonsense word with b.) at least two (but preferably more) syllables which can c.) by appended by any number of other words that might be used in conversation, so that people can stomp around the campground shouting it at the top of their lungs.
