Krazy Fest no more?

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by scott on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 12:15 AM (EST)

This was posted on Krazyfest.com:

"Initial Records annual music festival, Krazy Fest, which was slated for its seventh year this summer has been indefinitely postponed. It may be completely dead and gone forever. We don't really know for sure at this point. We're trying to save it, but it's not looking good. One thing we do know for sure is that it will not be happening May 28-30, 2004. So cancel those flights and tell your boss you will be available to work that weekend.

Perhaps Krazy Fest 7 will take place at the end of the summer or in the Fall. Maybe it ill never happen. We'll see. We'll let you know any updated information as soon as have some. Check www.KRAZYFEST.com for the most up to date and accurate information.

Plans are still in place to release DVD's from previous Krazy Fests. We hope to have a DVD release from Krazy Fest 5 ready by Fall 2004 and one from Krazy Fest 6 ready for release in Spring 2005."

No shit. KF4 was the best year by far. They keep announcing these DVDs and then never release them. I've been waiting for 3 years.

Urkel was actually written as a one-time character, but he was received with so much acclaim that the producers of Family Matters decided to write him in as a regular.

Yeah, i remember seeing him on some talk show where he said if it wasnt for a bunch of college kids at the taping, he wouldnt have been able to torture us for years.

Man, I hope this is a joke. I mean, how many people actually FLY there? Not many I know. I hope tomorrow they say April Fools! and announce the greatest lineup since the 1997 Chicago Bulls. -sickboi

Bulls owned. Now its just pathetic. They keep drafting really shitty players with really good picks (Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, Marcus Fizer). The only exception might be Kirk Hinrich who actually looks pretty good every other night.

Letting Elton Brand go was about the worst move they could ever make. -sickboi

no man, 1995-1996. That was the squad with 72 wins.

Yeah, but consider the competition in the NBA that year, feh. -sickboi

Report

TheOneTrueBill (March 31, 2004)

I'd say it was better, because everyone wanted their first shot back at MJ if they didn't play the bulls the previous year.

I think we are the only 2 people in the history of this site to seriously discuss NBA basketball. -sickboi

Made even odder by the fact that I haven't watched one single game since the lockout in '98. I gave up at that point.

This was announced yesterday. Not sure how many April fools jokes run for 3 days. Plus, can you imagine how pissed people would be if they cancelled plans (whether it was planes, hotels, or work obligations) who couldn't reverse them if this was actually a joke? I don't think Krazyfest is that dumb. They want as many people to buy tickets to this thing as possible, and I doubt they'd risk sales over a joke.

Report

Someone (March 31, 2004)

The only reason I think this would be a April fools joke is they give no reason why it's not happening. If they need money they should put some big sob story like the guy from Suburban Home did.

i'm bummed, i organize my summer plans around this thing, making sure i'm home in PA (from CA) during that time so we can drive for 13 hours and have an amazing weekend. i'm seriously really sad about this.

I hear ya. If this isn't a joke, I'd at least hope we get some sort of explanation, considering how much people have devoted to this thing over the years (time, money, etc.). -sickboi

Dammit! Krazy Fest put this town on the map (who cares about a 2 min. horse race anyway?). I live right outside Louisville and always hated that not too many bands come here to play and always looked forward to Krazy Fest to make up for the "lack" of bands. Oh well, atleast we got Black Cross.

It's OK, Zany FEST is going to take it's place for three days this August in Boise, ID dates TBA... It will feature 21 Screamo greats, 7 washed up 3rd wave ska bands and no bands on Epitaph, Drive Thru or Fat. All for the low price of $9.99 per day. It's fucking ZANY!
