RIVALFISH ANNOUNCES 10,000 LAKES MUSIC FESTIVAL TICKET GIVEAWAY CONTEST
by Jonah Ansell, Rival Room Producer/Music Writer, jonah.ansell@gmail.com
This weekend, Rivalfish editors suffered through yet another dismal display of Chicago Cubs
baseball. The Cubs now-suspended manager Lou Pinellia embodied the Cubs' angst in the form of the Benjy Compson character from Faulkner's Sound and the Fury, yelling a flurry of complaints at a third-base umpire, kicking up a storm of dust and ultimately signifying nothing -- as he was ejected from the game while the Cubs still lost.
But our readers need not suffer with us any longer, as today we are pleased to announce The Rivalfish 10KLF Ticket Give-Away Contest, a contest in which we'll be giving away 2 free tickets to two lucky fans to the upcoming 10,000 Lakes Music Festival in Detroit Lakes, MN, July 18-21, 2007. And all though we're holding a "contest," unlike the plight of the woe-ridden Cubs, the 10,000 Lakes Music Festival is not a zero-sum contest, but a Walt Whitman-esque experience, a four day excursion into nature, where there are no winners and losers, only great music set against the beautiful backdrop that is Northwest Minnesota. The perfect getaway for any fan of a cellar-dwelling team. With the Cubs' guaranteed to be soundly in last place by July 18th, we encourage you to join us at one of the can't miss concerts of the year. So pack your Eureka tent (they offer the sturdiest rain tarps) and trade in your replica-jersey pinstripes for some home-grown authentic Patchouli and check out the contest details are listed below.
What is 10,000 Lakes?
Not to be overshadowed by the larger Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza music festivals, 10,000 Lakes is quickly becoming a staple amongst the resurging American summer jam-band festivals. Celebratin
g its fifth year anniversary next month, 10,000 Lakes is staged 3.5 hrs north of Minneapolis and draws some of the chillest, hottest, funkiest bands in rock, bluegrass, folk and funk that are playing in the world today. Labelling itself as Music::Nature::Euphoria, which we must add is a pretty damn accurate description, 10KLF offers one of the most unique music venues in the country. Last year's fest drew nearly 20,000 fans, which offers a smaller, more intimately peaceful environment than the Six Flags-esque aura of the "serene" Bonnaroo. 10KLF tickets are still available for purchase here, so if you don't win Rivalfish's contest, make sure to get them before they sell out.
