Floodstock was never advertised as a Family Oriented Event. Yes there was a "family friendly" event set to go on at the same time. That is from what i hear, now going to go on in a couple weeks from now. The money is going to the greater CR community foundation and to the small business recovery fund. Beer is 3$ And there's no pot, maybe you should smoke some though and chill the heck out doesn't matter who's putting it together, they are at least trying to do something to help. -A

What happened to all the publicity on having it be a family event with a kids corner and all. Oh yeah we don't want to inconvieniance the drunks or anything since it's for such a good cause and all.

Nice group of bands but you left the "metal" bands out to dry....Where is there free advertising? Cabo's is benefiting from other's losses--how NICE of them!

It's $10 a DAY. Not for the whole event. People realize that, right?

$10 is cool... how much for a beer though? See you on the 4th.

So now these boring dime-a-dozen groups finally have a cause to latch-on to that will get them some free publicity. Somebody even took the time to make a cute little Floodstock logo. This is just another party-time gig for trendy musical humanitarian wannabees. It's embarrassing, but predictable, that someone would get the novel idea to do such a "benefit concert". I'll donate my cash directly to the cause, thank you -- and spare myself the drunks and second-hand pot smoke. Have fun, kiddies!

A rip off? Where else can you go to see that many bands for only ten bucks...and the money goes to a good cause...how could THAT be a rip off?!?!?

10 dollars for ALL THOSE BANDS? That is far from a ripoff, and benefits a much-needed cause. What is wrong with you?
