As I get ready to turn in to snag some sleep after a great radio overnyte HazzardAyre show, I am becoming increasingly aware that if your planning on doing something big, Idaho is most likely not the place to stage an event.
I once asked the question to many a promoter why not Idaho? The response is always that Idaho is to backwards, the infrastructure is not in Idaho, and basicly too damn stuck up.
While the plans are still on the boards for Hazzard Nationals/DukeFest West, in Filer at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds , can you imagine the headache its going to be just to get 150 southern belle style gals to host the 150 vendors on just vendors row alone? That’s not to mention the promotion of the event prior to, and during the event. Escorting musical performers from Cooter’s Garage Band, to Selena Gomez . That’s just the short list. The event is set for July-August 2015, but I’ll bet my next oil change, that it’ll get about July 2014, and the higher up’s of the club in California are going to say too slow a progress, and yank the event and stage it either in Salt Lake City, or at least Ogden.
Boise would be too small and as advanced as they are there, there’s only two venues even close to being the right size to host such a gig, the Idaho Center just on the heels of Nampa, or the Western Idaho State Fairgrounds. Even with that getting filly’s for hosts, escorts(no not that kind of escort, get your mind out of the toilet) there still isn’t the kind of talent agency there for such a gig. Even Utah as grand as it is, barely can handle it. Thing is Utah has grasped the art, of just that, the arts, entertainment, film and TV series production(Touched By An Angel) as well as tourism, and event production. There are support resources there that just will not be in Idaho. As far as Idaho, is concerned its production agriculture, support for farming, and little else if anything else. Not that farming is bad we all need to eat, Agriculture keeps AyreWolf Aviation in business, but that’s all there is here. Forget about high tech, or industrial in Idaho, nope its farm and support of farm.
The Warbird and rat rod truck calendar video project was a test of sorts to see if even that could be done. Outside of a limited few, the search for talent, the attitude and all has been one of very serious disappointment. To me and the club. Maybe if we’re lucky Paige and all can come up with some more talent applicants, but right now I’m scratching my head. But like most things once we open the door, maybe more will walk through.
What I’m talking about next entry.
Until Then its lights out
