You could do a whole night in Hickory on two hundred!


If I spend $200 in a weekend I had better get really drunk and laid.

I do agree that MerleFest is over priced. I go to many 'Fest", mostly blues festivals but for the quality big names you get, MerleFest has been overpriced.

It may not be your genre, but one that everyone has heard of and is coming soon, use Carolina Rebellion for comparison. You get many more bigger names for the price.
Blues festivals, if you go to the big ones, you get the most bang for your buck. Top of the line artist by the boat load for the same price level as MerleFest.
I go to most MerleFest, because its local and I do enjoy the music but it has been overpriced most years, as the talented bigger names generally arent there.

I know this may come as a surprise to you....but the world does NOT revolve around you and your wishes. I am also pretty sure you believe it would be a better place if it did......

So spend your 200.00 weekend budget on something you enjoy.

Well springy, you have been saying there is nothing to do in wilkes.....it looks like you got your choice of fest you could get out and enjoy !

When I talk about something to do, I am talking about something interesting to do. Merlefeat is not worth $200+ for a weekend. It should be free to enter and I could chose what to spend money on once I am there.

You should probably just sit at home and be suspicious of everyone that you can imagine to be nefarious, which is probably everyone that isn't agreeing with you at that very moment. You know, like all of the other years.

Real music? Is that like going to a candy store with a hundred different flavors & variety's to choose from, but none you like you leave?
