Oh, you could probably say that about any show. They all have highs and lows, but some of the lows.... -Frank looked FANTASTIC in Orlando, but we all walked around Fowlerville scratching our heads.
Then there was Carnival X (or Y) in Chisholm-a WTF moment to be sure.
When the comment was made about NAME it came from a Canadian correspondent, and that means that it was mainly the old Conklin stuff that was in reference. If you've seen Conklin for years at the spots they shared with CVS they were always top notch.
I've seen NAME at three events I played in 2008, Dade County, Burlington Steamboat Days, and the Plymouth BlueBerry Festival. Plymouth and Burlington were different units-so it wasn't like one was first unit, one was second or third. The equipment looked good, the canvas was in good shape, bulbs were in place, etc. I shot the videos to prove it.
It's murder out here, I'll be the first to admit that. I'm not above taking a shot when a shot is deserved. It's hard to understand how NAME gets to be a target just because they are the biggest.
For one dollar I'll guess your weight, your height, or your sex.
