Logan commented on Mr. Tom Tom: Beyer sees bands and innovation together
The festival as a whole is what is attempting to foster cross pollination and it has a large focus not only on music and art, but also innovation. Have you looked at the website? http://tomtomfest.com/
This is the first year, so I am sure things will evolve in the future, but it seems like...

I think this festival is worth at least $5000 since they are having a very important Pinterest presentation.
city girl commented on Mr. Tom Tom: Beyer sees bands and innovation together
I'm not opposed to giving city money for festivals, but I don't see this particular festival increasing business, or expanding the circle of opportunity that already exists among the facebook crowd.
A unique festival not already saturated with local events would draw a different population to the...

city girl commented on Mr. Tom Tom: Beyer sees bands and innovation together
Charlottesville feels like an ongoing music festival year round. And with so many venues and choices every week of the year, I wonder if this isn't superfulous.
I can see the point of the book festival and the film festival but more concerts ? One art form getting little attention in town is dance...
