Speaker 1: A podcast from.
Speaker 2: The Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven
by Victor Chrysler Dots Geem Brahm. It's Billified, the Bill
Moran Podcast.
Speaker 3: Well, hello and welcome.
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks for telling a friend.
That's how we spread the word about the pirate ship.
And don't forget there's also condensed versions, so if you
don't have time to listen to the whole thing, when
you can get the condensed version. Get caught up today
though it's a Hoochinani we're talking about the Hoochinani whiskey
of music festival with the do I say co sponsor
sean owner?
Speaker 3: Co owner?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? The uh? Because I think last year time
he did this in Geneseo. And then how did he
you into this because putting on a music festival is
a enormous and forgive my friends painting the fucking ass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the fucking ass. Well I didn't know that
when I agreed, you know, it's just seemed like it
would be all fun. So the way it went down, uh,
he was definitely.
Speaker 1: Like, hey man, well, first of all, we'll go back.
Speaker 4: I've always like known uptill me like we've seen each other.
What's something man, But we didn't get tight really until
post COVID, I would say. And then uh, he told
me in twenty twenty three he was doing this festival
and he had the whole vision.
Speaker 1: He was excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which, of course he needed me for a tense
I'm like, yeah, I did. We'll do it, and we'll
you know, we'll do it for a steal, like you know,
we get a massive friends and family discount. And it
was a cool event.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know that was down in Geneseo
at the time, right, yeah, last year in the fall too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the fall. When we say last year, now,
last year was twenty twenty three, last last year. But
really cool design and really cool consped of course.
Speaker 1: Everything he does has a very cool concept. I'm so
blown away by that dude, honestly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 1: He just whatever he touches, it's it's a great yeah,
patient and he waits for it. It comes together nicely.
It's just it's a it's a cool vibe that he
has as a human.
Speaker 4: That's what draws people into it, you know what I mean.
So he did it there, and it's like, it's tough
to start a new festival out in the farm country
basically it is, right, but he had some success and
of course you know the weather it was October. I
think twenty first wasn't great.
Speaker 1: You're on the Yeah, man there.
Speaker 4: Yep, but it happened, and you know, they did fine
in the first year, and I just felt like, I'm like,
it was really cool, and I'm like, I think he's
got something here, and I think it could be more.
You know what I mean, he can You just got
to get through that first year, right and just prove
that you can do it, which they did, and I
think he just kind of kind of like approached me
the last spring, right spring of twenty four. We're in
twenty twenty five now, right, we are cool.
Speaker 1: It's a blur. I know, it's a blur. Days.
Speaker 4: I'm like, every day is going back like it's crazy,
but that's all I fais. So he approached me kind
of just saying, you know, I want to get you involved,
and it kind of into the summer became more than that,
where Tim was kind of steering the ship of hoochin
any and he needed help and he just wanted to
take on a full new partner and kind of eliminate
the whole everyone else that was involved and just be like,
let's see and me do this together.
Speaker 1: And I said, yes, yeah, well I got to say
this before we get to into everything, because I have
questions and says to how the pitch to the town
of Irondoquoi, because they haven't done anything like this at
Eastman that I know of. I know there's been the
Irish Fast and that sort of thing that spanned a
couple of days. This is a big deal. You have
bands that people are out of their minds excited about now.
Probably one that was commercially known more than Anyboddy is
Joone Jet and the Black Hearts, right, And I always
was a fan of Jone Jet some of her music,
Like I think the one that is probably her biggest
hit I was. I was like, eh, but Joan Jet
is a fucking rock stares just in the fact that
it was an all women's band. I don't know if
you knew the Runaways of course, and Leada Ford was
in that band. All these people she that disbands and
she goes in shops. I mean, we're talking like nineteen
eighty female and rock and roll. This woman went out
and produced her own album like now you can do
shit at home, right, We're doing a podcast from you
could do it anywhere. You know what I'm saying that
I always joked the barrier to entry's gone. She man
was a hustler and went out and did this whole thing.
And I always loved some of her more almost fifty
style rock that she does. So that's a great one.
But then it's like the old ninety sevens.
Speaker 4: I love the old ninety seven it's the real deal better.
I mean, like the people who know them, you know them,
you know what I mean. Another, I mean, so Mo
and dark Star together that combo I think for that scene,
for the jam band scene, people like.
Speaker 1: Whoa yeah, which Goose, by the way, is one I'm
sorry one too, Okay, it's so good.
Speaker 4: Eggie is also like an up and coming jam band,
and Galactic from New Orleans, who like I mean, they're
like a staple in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: So do you know the I mean, did you have
a hand in getting these?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So some of it was.
Speaker 4: Already set in motion kind of when I when I
came on board, so I kind of just went with
what time it was already trying to do. But what
I realized quick, so booking bands it's a tough world.
It's a tough industry, you know. I didn't realize how
tough it was.
Speaker 1: A lot of times you're looking at their schedule if
they if they have an off day and they're going
to let's say a buffalo, can they come on a
Saturday here or a Friday here?
Speaker 4: What I found out it's like, I mean, at least
this year we didn't luck out like that. I think
the bigger your festival gets you you have the chance
of people kind of running the festival circuit sequentially.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, but pretty much.
Speaker 4: Festivals, you know your pay, you gotta fly the band in.
So obviously it's a larger cause.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this like the record company is they're
they're a great band. I'm not. I've never heard of
Tommy Burnett, All Stars, Cavalcado of Scoundrels. Never Yeah, who's
Tommy Burnette?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that that's always a fun one, you know.
Eggie was one that someone wrote me about how excited
they are FORGI. It's awesome.
Speaker 4: Even like the two bands, the Vandeliers and the jack
Knives who are opening. Yeah, you know, it's like a
lot of people don't know who they are, but when
they see them. That band was a lot of fun. Yeah,
every band, which we're gonna have a Spotify playlist released
in days once I take the time to do it.
But like every band's good, every band has good songs,
and it's uh and every band's good live and that's
a big thing too, like us. Someone on the radio
the other day was like, oh, Joe Jack, she's got
to be an old gramdma. Now, well, first of all,
definitely not a grandma.
Speaker 1: Just sorry, but she's not your grandma.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but because she never had kids, let alone, so
her kids never had kids. Just look up a YouTube video,
just type Joan Jet twenty twenty four and just watch
her live and tell me she's a grandma. You know
what I mean. She's sixty six years Young's amazing.
Speaker 1: She's she's great and matter of fact, the Sunday Night
football theme is based on uh, I hate what was
I hate being in love with you or something like that.
I hate myself from loving you? Is the Sunday Night
football theme is that. Yeah, that's what they took and
in one year she came out and sang it with
Carrie Underwood. Yeah, but this is always one of my
favorite Jets. Yeah, yeah, she's gonna come and rock.
Speaker 4: Yeah in ironic in a park in erotic Quay.
Speaker 1: Why do people have what? What good is going to
come from saying. You know, you remember the old adage
if you have nothing nice to say. I wouldn't have
a job if I didn't have anything nice to say,
you know, if I said it was nice stuff. But
what's the point of that?
Speaker 4: I think too, there's an assumption that like legacy acts
is like synonymous with washed up. Yeah, and and sure
like don't jet open the door for.
Speaker 1: A lot of people. Man, you know that's the thing
A little.
Speaker 4: Respect she is not. I mean, she is fully on
all cylinders, if not better in her like her band
the Black Hearts. I mean it's like again, just come
to the show and you'll see.
Speaker 1: Well as a as a co sponsor. So I'm I'm
assuming now right now it's it's in a great spot
down by the lake in Eastman, Duran, Eastman Park. I
got to think that not to get too far ahead
of ourselves and we'll be all over the place in
this conversation a little bit. But well, how do you
see it like in five years, like the vibe and stuff,
and you've got to go beyond this in your head.
I gotta think, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean a little bit, but I'm like one I more
I think that we just get through this year and
see how Rochester responds. But I think Timy and I
felt like there's this void in what we're creating. You know,
it's like Rochester is a festival city, but there's no
like actual rock rock being of course country, jam, yeah,
punk anything, you know it's like, but actual rock festival,
there's nothing like it. There's not this whiskey tasting experience.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: So I'll know on Friday, that's when tickets go on.
Speaker 1: Sales, tickets going and you can get the early bird
tickets through May, through the anime through then, and they're
great prices. Yeah, I saw the prices. They were great,
but that the four day double ten three cigar or
three day excuse me.
Speaker 4: Three day, which is well, there's going to feel like
four after all the well, no, I saw. It's funny.
One of my things. I want to be the reason
everyone in Rochester takes off of work on that Monday
and the like. That's that's that's the goal. But it
have to be a killer weekend. But the pricing, it
is a good price, but it's like I've never seen
anyone who had a first year and now second year
festival get the amount of his sponsors that Tommy got.
So we'll always throw out the names of sponsors because
like they essentially are subsidizing ticket prices and allowing us
to create this big, massive thing the first year without sponsors.
Speaker 1: Who was supplying all the tents and stuff?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we ared a company out of Buffalo.
Speaker 1: So all right, how does the pitch go to Irondequoit
to say, hey, this is an idea we want and
or how did you even find the spot? Maybe we
should start there? Like So.
Speaker 4: It's weird that like when we started like looking for spots,
were we realized like with what we're trying to do,
We're like.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah, there's a lot of places in Rochester.
Speaker 4: But nothing's fitting like this vibe of what we want
right Like and I like, obviously like we've had a
lot of luck with the Holiday Village downtown. It's a
great event, yep, Parcel five, but like there's things about
it that are limiting, particularly the number of people you
can get.
Speaker 1: In the right Highland Bowl.
Speaker 4: I love Highland Bowl, Highland Park, but it's like, first
of all, just doing work that's very It's an amazing park.
Lilac Festival is an amazing event, but like it is
very challenging to build that as a site and actually
try to get more than a few thousand people in there.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a lot of your knowledge that you'll
bring in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just because I've been you know what I mean,
and really sit her and think about it, though, like
think about it, you know. I'm like, Okay, the dome
Marina parking lot, no, like you know, I'm just like
And then I was like, hmmm, Octoberfest has not been
a thing in Aroundequoys since twenty nineteen. And actually the
idea started with I'm like, let me go check it out.
And then I saw there's mass of soccer fields in
the back, which I knew. My first question and we'll
get into this later, would be can these soccer fields
be used for parking? Because they are like solid, like
it's actually just like two inches of dirt and then stone.
It's there, solid fields. So I'm like, okay, we got
this one area with all this infrastructure, there's just simple
things like running water, even if it's only a few
host bect's having a running water at a festival. I
believe the power there for Octoberfest is eight hundred amps
of Power. Okay, there's lodges, there's actual like brick and
mortar bathrooms. They just put in like brand new bathrooms.
So there's these things that a lot of other places
aren't available, and that's kind of how it started. But
my idea was, I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna
go to the town of Roneicoid and say, we want
to do this festival, but then why don't you piggyback
on us and you can bring back Octoberfest. Was the idea.
And then I found out who had to call, and
I kind of presented it and they were interested right away,
but they said, you know, for whatever reason, it's like
Octoberfest kind of like it did its thing and ran
its course. But they're like, but we're really excited about
your event, and they're all in, you know what I mean.
And they were all in to the point that they're
giving us enough support that they're the title sponsor.
Speaker 1: The town of Veronically Ironico. Okay, cool, yep, man, that's amazing. Yeah, well,
it's an underutilized space. It's totally you're You're right. I
don't even even know if Irish Fest happens anymore.
Speaker 4: Nothing happens there now.
Speaker 1: Why right, just since COVID, Just.
Speaker 4: Since COVID, I think, you know, uh, COVID did a
lot of good things for some people, some businesses, and
it also killed a lot of things. I mean, you know,
even in my industry. I you know a lot of
businesses people were already like almost retired when COVID hit.
There's like I'm done. Yeah, a lot of people just
like close up shop.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I think that producing events, the cost, especially for
events that the entry was a low fee, if not free,
everything's got too expensive everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So this, I think this is just such
a cool to me. I feel like you keep talking
about a vibe. What is the vibe because I'm looking
at it. It's more that jam band hanging out. It
has a vibe to it. You're right, but you're looking
for space that matches that. What is that vibe to
you in your How would you describe it?
Speaker 4: I guess the vibes to me, which I would stick with,
like Tommy's original vision, which is tagline would be cultivate
the uncommon and unfortunately the uncommon these days are you
know in the world of Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, is actual
just you know, handcrafted beer, which, by the way, we
have a free beer tasting at the event. Really if
you have a general mission ticket, it's free beer tasting.
But local food, local craft makers. We're gonna have up
to twenty craftmakers. It's all funky, local made trinkets, things
that actually, Timmy, they do a craft show I think
every quarter, and Iron Smoke and also just the whiskey
makers like actual we actually some of the distillers are big,
and that's really exciting, but there's also a lot of
just smaller, small shops, especially out of New York State.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's really cool. Tommy's always been and I'm sure
you will step right into this too, supportive of the
local community, right in terms of he'll ask you to
buy the whiskey if you like an Iron Smoke whiskey
from a liquor store, because it helps the local liquor
store owner instead of and he goes, I'll actually charge
you more if you buy it from the distillery. So
I always thought was like, I'm like, man, that is
pretty cool. I think, yeah, it is right, and I
love the idea of bringing everybody together with all these
different there's something about that whole community and I don't
know if you've been. I know you've been around a
lot of these festivals and things like the beer tastings.
There's something about that community where, you know, when I
was in radio, it was is we did we wanted
to attack the other guy. There were these street fights.
I once had a when I worked at CMF, they
had a bat light. We bought a bat light and
it would beam the CMF logo. Right. And I'm twenty,
I'm younger than my kids are, and I'm driving this
mobile home rock and roll, and I go up to
a Nerve event and I flash the light out a
Nerve yeah right, right, So I'm just showing you, like, okay,
So there was no togetherness. It was like we're against
each other. Then I watched the beer industry and it's
like a rising keg floats all kegs because these guys
all help each other out, like, you know, hey, you
need help bottling, we can cover your bottling if some
a machine went down. I'm like, that's a totally different
vibe and it seems to be one that is expanding
beyond those industries now, you know, And that's what I love.
And to me, this is just a cool. It's like
a laid back, cool festival, which I think would be
with the music and stuff you've got spanning generations, bringing
families hanging out. I mean I really see that as
is a really cool thing about it, right, you know,
beyond then just there are certain festivals you're not going
to bring your kids to and stuff, but this is
one where you go, hey, man, you're going to love
this music. I think so.
Speaker 4: And not only that, like the way we're designing it,
it's like the actual drinking experiences are separate. Yeah, I mean,
it's like it's twenty one and over. It's not there's
not a massive whiskey tasting you know, in the middle
of like a nursery or you know what I mean.
It's set to the side. But the exciting thing too
is like, you know, kind of what you said is
what we have in our mind, right, it can be
a family event, all these things, but like the exciting
thing right now actually is like we don't know.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: We know what we think it's going to be, yeah,
but we don't know what life it's going to take on.
So we're in that like exciting, incubating phase of seeing
where it goes when I started a company in two
thousand and seven. But it's like I guess I say,
I'm I'm kind of a sucker for the next adventure, right,
So like once we've.
Speaker 1: Like, do you say you're a risk taker? Yeah?
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah you gotta be.
Speaker 4: Oh, I gotta be on the edge. I gotta be
like if this doesn't work, I might go bankrupt. Like
that's a I don't know what. But then like when
it gets really risky, I'm like, oh, this sucks, and
then I get through it. Then I'm like, oh that
was cool.
Speaker 1: This worked.
Speaker 4: It's worked, okay, good. Yeah, Like even McCarthy Tenson events.
I mean we never like dreamed of it. I have
eighty five year on employees now. I mean when I
first started, eighty five what year round employees?
Speaker 1: Oh I thought, I thought I heard eighty five hundred.
I've wanted to be.
Speaker 4: Five hundred year O yeah No, no, eighty five year
round yeah, which I never, like, I never I thought
ten fifteen maybe.
Speaker 1: For a year round out of a ten company where
we have long winters and.
Speaker 4: Think about so the summer we blew into like one
fifty seventy five. Yeah, So that kind of just I
mean that kept doing its thing, but I've kind of
just done these other little side things along the way.
Speaker 1: One other little side things like I mean, well granted,
like the hoochin Anny, but and and the holidays a
lot of village.
Speaker 4: Uh. We started right before COVID, me and two of
the guys who worked with me. I want to give
everyone an opportunity. So I'm like, I'm gonna start a new business.
Who wants to buy in? And two people raise their
hands and it was a restroom trailer company. Yeah, like
really fancy, Like yeah, are those the ones I see it?
Speaker 1: Like Bill's training camp and stuff? Their air conditioned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, which we'll have those for the VIPs at
Hooch and any of course. Okay, but yeah, So we
started that and we got through one season COVID hits
and we're like ough. And then we started building a
bunch of COVID test sites that needed not only tents
but the restroom trailers. So then the rushroom Trailer company
like just took off. And long story short, we did
that and then we sold it last year you did
ye to another local company, So that was cool. Uh,
And I actually this is a random one I I'm
a a franchise, ye, I guess. I'm a supplier of
a product called Evolution Dome. They're inflatable event products based
out of the UK, and I teamed up with them
in twenty eighteen. So that's a separate company, Evolution Dome US,
where we do these. It's indoor and also outdoor, like
mainly for like trade shows or like yeah, cool activations
like like like Porsche and Parish does these inflatables that
our UK branch does that. So that's another thing on
the side that one of my employees bought in, so
we do that together. I'm actually going to Orlando to
do a big job this weekend.
Speaker 1: Are you the type of person that can let go?
And when I say let go, it's like let somebody
else do things? Or do you need to be kind
of hands out? Because I was always hands on and
I'm seeing if you want to grow, you got to
let other people do other things.
Speaker 4: So the answer to that currently is very much yes.
It wasn't like that, like I have my hands and everything,
you know, from like two thousand and seven to really
like seventeen eighteen nineteen, like where like I knew what
was happening every day, what jobs, deliveries here there, everything.
But now it's like, I mean, my core guys are
also people I've been friends with, like since way before
you know, we started McCarthy tents and events. I'm definitely
in the last four years like, yeah, let let people
do their things and trust them. I like, I remember
in twenty ten, I went to Hawaii where I was
supposed to get engaged. I got engaged the day I
got home. That's another story for another day. But but
I was so stressed out when I went to Hawaii
and it was like October, so our season was already
winding down, and I was like calling on stop and
now like if I go to like Europe, now I
see you, yeah, and I'm out and I don't like
and I won't hear from anyone, and let's something's going.
Speaker 1: On, right, it was better not to know. Yeah, no
news is good news, correct, right?
Speaker 4: But I also feel like, I mean, in the path
I was on for a lot of years where I
was so like into it wouldn't have been sustainable, Like
it was like I still had fun, like I and
I honestly enjoyed working so much and I love doing
tents that like when I first started, other than in
the winter, I truly worked seven days a week, like
even up like when my kids were born in twenty
thirteen fifteen, Like I still in the summers, I work
seven days a week.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Always yeah, always, never stops.
Speaker 1: And you enjoy doing that.
Speaker 4: I did enjoy doing which that's a new thing for
me too. Is I used to just when I left
the house in the morning was just go, go go work, work, work,
And I'm like, all right, I gotta like step back here.
Uh and then uh in the summer, I have a
habit of going to our Henrietta location more and going
on the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh you like to go on the road. I did,
still set them up. I still go on the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Last year, the workers nervous, No, okay, well because
ever I just a lot of people are like, oh,
you shouldn't be working in your business, be working on it,
and I'm just like, you know what, I also work
on it. I feel pretty good about where it's at,
but like I need to see I want to be
in the mix and I want to like be with
my customers, and that's part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Uh, in the winter, I have a habit of
going to our Webster warehouse more often, where this winter
I was honestly, this hou Chinani deal is like this
is it? Yeah? Yeah, But I think it was also
a product of once we bought No One's rental in
twenty twenty two, so there was so much work to
do to figure out just getting the companies together and
all that. But then like kind of once we got
through that, and it took two years to really let
the dust settle, and I was just kind of like.
Speaker 1: What next, Yeah, what next?
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean so that's that's.
Speaker 1: A uh no, the what next thing? But that's that's
a lot. So the the Hoochinani's gotta have taken most
of your attention throughout Yeah, for sure the holidays.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, I mean once I'm like again, like
if I go somewhere like yeah, I'm kind of like
I don't think about watch now, Like if I got
to get on a call, I will if we're going
on vacation or whatever. But I think that once this
is built and and and we kind of prove ourselves
this first year, I think it's still gonna be a
lot of effort every year and kind of keep growing
it and see where it goes. But a lot of
the legwork is getting done this year where you kind
of figure out figure it all out, Like we're getting
through the big picture stuff now and it was exciting
for Tommy too, is like what's the fun like little
frilly like things we're gonna do or like doing, Like
we're trying to develop the who any side show where
it's like we already have all these cool things right
like food, whiskey, bands, all this, but then it's like,
but let's do a hoosh a side show where like
a guy walking on still to a flamethrower, like all
these other things that that's.
Speaker 1: All went to clown cup.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So that's so like those are the the unknowns too,
where we're like it's already going to be memorable, but
how do we like take it even further? And all
this fun wild stuff happening too?
Speaker 1: What about Uh, I'll ask and I don't know, but
you think of things like the PGA they have volunteers,
do you are you looking for people because to pull
this off right in terms of yeah, yeah, parking and
I don't know.
Speaker 4: And people can write us through the website Okay, we've
already got a lot of volunteer inquiries.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I am sure.
Speaker 4: So it's like, you know, obviously the Trade Office like
I love to volunteer, but I also like a free pass,
you know, understandable, but people can definitely reach out to us.
And that's also where we're still laying out like site
logistics of how many people are needed in all these
different spaces in for Lewis Water ticketing.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's a lot. Yeah, yeah, all right, but you
seem happy that you did it, yeah, or you're doing it.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just excited to see what's going to happen next.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think that that needs to be on
a T shirt Auto McCarthy t shirt. I'm excited to
see what happens next.
Speaker 4: Well, so the the LLC name because the DBA which's
doing business is Whoch, Nanni and Whiskey, but the LLC
is but wait, there's more.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 4: That's because my wife just like was next, but wait,
there's more LLC that.
Speaker 1: Does she ever think I did? I wasn't. I wasn't
sure what I was signing up for, but I didn't
think it was gonna be all this.
Speaker 4: I think she always is like, what's the next, Like
she definitely says to people like I've always just wondered
what he's going to do next.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great thing. Yeah, and so
far it seems to have worked out. Yeah, better than
that I expect.
Speaker 4: I mean our first date, I picked her up. I
was shirtless and I wasn't wearing shoes. I don't know why. Yeah,
I wasn't even like and I wasn't like a big
macho guy when I was younger, Like I didn't even
work out when I was like twenty five years old,
and I took her on tours of like I worked
for another company at the time, and I took around
like tours of like tents I set up around Rochester.
I swear to god, that was our first date. And
she was like, we gotta she's the thing. We're going
out to dinner and there's no dinner at the at
the end of the tour, we I'm like, let's go
to uh the Twelve Corners Convenience and Brighton and pick
up some Douce juice is a bud Lighters and drink
him and copsail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we did, and that's what you did.
But no shirt, no shoes, you can't get in there.
She has to go to bus.
Speaker 4: It was all good. I think I walked in without
a shirt on.
Speaker 1: It really Wow, that's such a hippie vibe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm not even hippy.
Speaker 1: No, I know you're not. And that's not really it's
not fair to say hippie vibe because I think hippie
gets a bad thing. But it is a very relaxed,
confident person. Not necessarily show off, I don't think that,
but confident and I and that's comfortable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean the summertime, I prefer like if
I'm at the lake, I'm like, no shirt, Like I
don't have a shirt on like ever, yeah, probably no shoes.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what it is. Yeah, well maybe that's the
will that be the hoochin Anny outfit. No shirt, no shoes,
no problem. No, Sean has been a pleasure. Get to
hoochin Annie dot com. Get the tickets. They go on
sale Friday at noon.
Speaker 4: Right at noon.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's this. That's the day after tomorrow, so that
would be March twenty eighth. Yep, March twenty eighth, in day. Yeah,
it is a big day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we think, you know, it's like we have
we have a good capacity at the park. But I
think some of the days, especially if they really resonate
with you, it's.
Speaker 1: What time does it all like the gates open and stuff.
Speaker 4: That's a really good question. So just the way the
timing worked out, Friday and Sunday are two to ten, okay,
I joked. Sunday we have to open lakes. Everyone has
to go to church to repent for what they did
the night before. At our festival, Saturdays noon to ten, okay,
So Saturday will be the big day. The world of
Whiskey is open till seven, I believe each day okay, ye,
same thing with free beer tasting. Obviously food vendors will
be open.
Speaker 1: Just those timings and all figuring all that out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's it's how much it's too much and
how much is too much also for the vendors that
are involved, you know what I mean, like what works
for what's the fine medium that will make everyone happy?
Speaker 1: I think this could become such a big thing. And
what I love about it is it helps the area,
right hotels, restaurants, even camp sites whatever that people are
going to go to to be at this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean even our our our hotel sponsors INDUS
Hospitality Huns, the hampton In actually right over herend for
forty one Downtown hampton In and the Holiday and Express,
which but I mean we it's the Holiding Express is
pretty much sold out for the weekend because we have
to house all the bands. Yeah, and the vendors coming
in everything. So it's like but I think, all yeah,
the goal is for it to be good, even the
vendors coming in. I mean it's like our world of whiskey.
It's almost all outside vendors. So between those vendors, you know,
artisans coming in that travel around, food people, it's going
to be hundreds of people that will need accommodations, right,
and and plus.
Speaker 1: All the people coming to see the music and stuff, correct,
which is great. Get those tickets Hoochinanni dot com. And
if you need any kind of hospitality, tents or catering stuff,
it's all at McCarthy events. Right, I'm the guy. It's
all right there. It's a wonderful thing. And if someday
at hoo Chin Annie can bring in this guy, I
would love it. John Hyatt, all right, I love this song.
It's Tennessee plates. It's like it's a little tribute to
Elvis Sean. Thank you. I'm Bill Moran.

of Boar's head cold cuts. Leo's carries borshead cold cuts.
