When I win the Lottery

Posted at 3:58 PM on January 26, 2007 by Barb Abney (4 Comments)

We have all imagined it.. what would you do if you actually purchased THE winning Powerball ticket? Of course we’d all pay off our bills, buy the house/car and set up investments. But what about the crazy stuff? Personally, I would go on the festival “circuit”. If I was a millionaire I could afford the travel costs and $8 bottles of water all over the world! So, I sat down and started looking at the multitude of music festivals throughout the world. Here’s my list so far…

If you can think of any I missed let me know! If you happen to be attending any of these festivals and would like a handful of stickers from the Current to pass out while you’re there let me know..

Barb, there may be hope, if even you don't hit the Powerball and there's no room in the Current budget. Maybe we can send you to all those shows in the 89.3 van, and you can sell burritos and special cookies! C'mon ... who really needs to shower once a day?

There's a rock festival in Rennes, France called TransMusicales. When I was there for the Friday show, I saw !!!, The Thrills, Gang Star, and Ben Harper (who wasn't on the bill, but randomly showed up to play a few songs). You should definitely make an effort.

I forgot - it's the first weekend of December.

Zephyr, that looks like an amazing festival! I looked it up and they've had some impressive line-ups! www.lestrans.com Sadly, no info yet for this year's fest. Thanks for the heads up on this one!

Jacquie, you grab the patchouli and I'll get the cheese slices and Wonder Bread for grilled cheese sandwiches! We could introduce even more people to the Current!

(a reminder if you ARE going to any of these festivals see my email address in the original post and I'll happily send you some stickers to pass out!)
