What's up with TWIG?

[BryanPopp]

I was on the site yesterday and Twig was listed as Lane Entertainment.

I'm pretty sure that all the entertainment listed is last year's. Contracts are not due in until sometime in February, according to what I've been told.

When contracts are due seems to change regularly. For the 2010 season, the cutoff for proposals was September 1st, "so contracts can be finalized by November, before the holidays".

Interesting... they told me I could pick the musicians for our renewal sometime in February, when they knew which acts would be there. That's was I was going by, but admittedly making an assumption about the contracts.

As the Marketing Director and those coordinating Entertainment have shifted about over the past couple of years, it is entirely understandable that contracts are happening a little later.  It's much easier for someone who has been doing it a while to get things done smoothly.  As we all know, when we start a new job, even one that we've helped someone else do before, it takes time to get all of the details in place and ducks in a row.

According to the SRFestival FB page, no Twig this year.  Our daughter is going to be devistated. 

We may have to take a trip to Colorado or Carolina to see her. 

I don't know the details but I don't like this one bit.

Well, being on the outside, there's no way to know whether SRF didn't offer, or Twig didn't like the offer given.

We tend to like what we're familiar and comfortable with, and don't like change so much. But what we might like, may be the very thing that keeps others away...too much of the same thing. Twig is at other faires we're visiting this year, so we will be seeing her.  Without change, we would not have ever sampled some of the great talents we've been exposed to over the years...just keep that in mind.

Just an observation...not a criticism of anyone.

TWIG will absolutely be missed. I miss a lot of acts who have moved on. But, business is business and SRF and TWIG are both businesses and must do what's best for each. I do hope nothing but the best for TWIG and Scarby will not collapse because she is not there. I do hope she comes back.

[DonaCatalina]

From what has been said, they would have liked to have Twig, but as Ryk said, there is no way to know exactly how it went in negotiations.
I hope we see Twig back in the future for the kids who love her.

I can't imagine you would ever cry Merlin......

[Merlin]

Shhhh... I have to put up a soft side for the ladies.

They go "Awwwwwwwwwww" when I tell them I cry.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Anyone visiting with us in Carolina during Rendevous in October will have their Twig quoto filled.

Am I the only one in the whole wide world who isn't quite so into Twig?

Nope. I was very enamored of her when I first started going to Scarby, several years ago, and while I DO try to make sure that when I have children with me, or someone who's never been to Scarby, that they get to see & hopefully interact with her, I don't fret if I don't see her.
