ROCK USA 2011. Starring……..No One, But At A Low Price. -By Helen Bach

I am often in awe of the ‘can do’ attitude of some.
I don’t have that. I worry, I’m a Negative Nancy.. I worse case scenario my entire life
But not the fine folks of Starshow
This is exactly from their website (under construction):

ROCK USA 2011. Coming up on its 16th year, Country USA at Oshkosh has grown to become one of the largest outdoor Country Music festivals in the nation. Starshow Presents, Inc., parent corporation of Country USA, has now announced that it will create a sister event to Country USA next summer. The event is named Rock USA, a rock festival modeled very closely after the hugely successful Country USA. and will present the same stellar level of multi-million dollar entertainment.

SOLID ROCK. NO LIMITS. Rock USA will brand itself as ’Solid Rock. No Limits.‘ and will present a broad mix of rock in an effort to kick up the rock festival experience. The key is listening to exactly who the rock fans want to see. Some of the names that are being considered are Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, Nickelback, Lynryd Skynyrd, Journey, and Daughtry. Obviously, this is a wish-list that is driven by input from fans but the plan is to present major caliber rock.

We can tell you right now that we are planning on pulling out all the stops to make Rock USA a smash hit but we need your input… who do you want!? You tell us and we‘ll go for it.

BIG EVENT. DISCOUNT TICKETS. The biggest news yet is Rock USA‘s highly aggressive ticket marketing concept of presenting three incredible days of world-class rock at discount pricing.

In a troubled economy we need to pay attention to the fact that fans have fewer hard earned dollars available. The money doesn‘t come easy and it‘s tough out there. Our goal is to offer the biggest entertainment value possible and we intend to sell Rock USA tickets at prices we feel will be the lowest festival ticket prices ever. We are working hard on getting our talent lineup booked and if all goes according to plan we will be announcing the lineup, ticket pricing and on-sale date soon! Watch for the big ’on-sale‘ news because you are going to get more and pay less!

So far you’re paying for less for nothing but the prospect of a food court.
It is January. 
This event is booked and ready for July 14th, 15th and 16th in Wisconsin.
You have 6 months to put this together, at a low cost.
The bands are a wish list and cuz I’m such a cow I actually see if any were already booked and it looks clear so far.
 Why?
 Cuz they’re pretty B list but lots of um.. how many B list bands make an A event anyway?
This is an extremely adventurous idea. 
 I cant see it succeeding but hell I could be wrong.
If  you build it they will come?
Osh Kosh Wisconsin?.. stranger things have happened I suppose
May want to start with that lame logo…
