Dfest 2010....? Not looking good.

It is my understanding that the problem is as described above, due to counterfiters and people sneaking into Dfest event organizers were losing money.

Or the talent fees were too high to sustain.  I heard it from the other side of one of the Blue Dome bar owners and he said the Greens were an absolute nightmare to try and work with.  I also heard the frustration of local musicians who were upset at being overlooked for talent from out of town (support level, not headliners).

You simply can't move into a commercial area with your event and expect all the area businesses to jump on board or to be willing to take a hit on their own revenues if they don't want to buy in.  It's a difficult thing to pull off.

I heard from some of the security (TPD) that it was a nightmare. 

They will have to pay a fortune in security if they want to do it again.

I heard they bought a bar and lost interest in dfest... their facebook/twitter turned to pimping the bar before I unfriended it.

If they wanted it to grow and live they needed to turn it non profit and set up a boar.

I miss dfest, it was a great event.
