It's official, I'm going!
this is from the blog:
"With the announcement done, the nitty-gritty planning begins! After the announcement, we went to the concert venue to talk about how we’ll set up the site. This year’s show will be different from those past, with more room for experimentation. Randall’s Island is a park on an island in the East River. It’s a big open park, but already with 35,000 concertgoers and interactive exhibits and activities planned, the space is filling up fast! We can’t wait and hope you can’t either! If you’re a member of the Farm Yard, you’ll have a chance to get the best seats in the house through our pre-sale tomorrow morning.
See you in the Big GREEN Apple! And if you’re reading this from NYC, make sure you get to your local farmers market soon to pick up the sweetest local strawberries ever! I ate nearly an entire quart of them at the Union Square farmers market on Monday!"
and this:
"Can you believe it?!?! Farm Aid in NYC! I have been working on a pun that references the movie "Babe: Pig in the City" but I haven't quite figured it out yet. We are so pumped about Farm Aid 2007: A HOMEGROWN Festival at Randall's Island. 100% delicious family farm food, good tunes and a summer of events in a huge urban food and farm hub. On the DL, this show has been in the works for a few years and we are just thrilled that the time has come to bring Farm Aid into the lives of New Yorkers, to work with upstate farmers and urban growers and to show all of our concert growers that even after 22 years we have a few surprises up our sleeves!"
