Yarmouth said no booze, but when we got in there the security dudes just said to put it in solo cups so they didn't know what it was. But, they were on point for anyone smoking...they didn't like my drunk ass all that much tbh. But I was front row middle, so I was on display...and I'm not easy to miss in general
Or no inside booze.
He's booking a ton of shows and selling most of them out as fast as he can book them. People are traveling from other states because they are starved for live music. I am glad he's doing it and doing well, but the location blows for me because it's an hour-plus each way. The drive home is brutal.
Where do you live?
Buy a transit van, convert to a camper, and stealth camp! Works for me! BUT, are the tickets expensive at South Farm. $150 for 2 ppl for Pigeons as well as Goose. Thats a no for me pham. Especially when i hit at least one show a weekend...
I came to CT. to spend some time with family and friends. It's a great venue.
Awful decision. Excellent business model that will survive post-pandemic, but canceled for selfish reasons.
I'm involved with this a bit. This issuing a cease and desist that orders him to stop whenever the executive order expires is meaningless since he has to stop then (February) regardless. With Covid continuing on I could see Lamont extending the temporary order. The real fight could be post-Covid when Ben has to get approval from P&Z. He's having concerts like 5 nights a week now because these are incredibly unique circumstances. I think his plan post Covid is to have far less shows with way more people on the weekends. There shouldn't be trouble because it's completely in the best interest of the town, county & state and Ben is a great person, huge asset to the town, and a reasonable guy but I know how people are up there and I'm convinced they will give him trouble. If that's the case he will get everyone to come out and support him and or lawyer up if they want to make things difficult.
Those concerts are on, nothing has changed.
Ah this is what happens when you don’t read the article
He can have concerts there until February which was what the board agreed to in the first place. Things will have to be figured out for down the road. There will be concerts there in the future, they obviously won't be every night of the week.
It's a small number of the old set in their way people up there who flip out about any sort of change, granted it's a big change with concerts most nights of the week right now but we're in a once in a century pandemic where people have to be creative to make money. It will no doubt be a fight because that area is so opposed to change, economic development, and fun but Ben has wanted to do this for years and I don't see him backing down on this. That farm is the best thing that ever happened to that town and he has the overwhelming support of the community, support of the businesses in the area, and support of some people with influence. He will work with them and their concerns but if they make things hell for him he'll threaten to sell and turn it into a subdivision which everyone will totally freak out about.
Probably a lot of Trump “open our states and give us our freedom!” votes up there voting against an economic boost to their area and a creative way to be “open”
