Heard that when Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s plan to ban beer, cheese & venison jerky statewide goes through on April 29th, the mass exodus of thirsty Wisconian refugees to the Lincoln Park area may potentially cause lines for the show to back up three days plus. Oofda!

Right, $25 is normally a fair price for such a huge act. But it’s not like TbT is going to be making any more money off this…all HG bands get $50. If people want to get an all inclusive pass, then great. If they just wanted to pay the $5 for a single day, great. But (in essence) forcing a dramatic price change for one show in a festival that’s otherwise all about the community and broader local music awareness seems a bit cynical to me.

I like BadCat!’s Ween idea. The underboobs will pair well with our luchador masks.

$25 is a fair price for the single night alone. Getting seven more nights with it is an amazing deal. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. It’s just the fact that the biggest crowd wants to see TBT. The added bonus is getting to see them with home field advantage.

Homegrown festival now has a uniform -- all bands must dress like the Ween album cover.

Gartman will be employing a hologram so that his bands can play simultaneously in different venues.

@Stephenos: Sadly, no.

I think Homegrown should consider making conspiracy theories a tradition every year. “Mark Gartman plays every act!” “TBT tickets cost $100!”

I’m paying the $25 for Freddy, and happy Equal Xchange is included at the Clyde = best show at that venue.

(Sigh) … I do commend aforementioned hoser on his pretzel logic and seething pessimism; I felt compelled to do a long, hard facepalm after reading this thread. This guy is from outta town, eh?
