I work with a guy like this. Always waits to be the one to pipe up right at the end and get the last word in. These will be the last announcements in the roll out of live music's 2021 return. Some people think that's how you best get attention...the day near ending and nothing from Peter .. this sucks

Personally I’d pick JRAD I saw the Dead a lot and enjoy D&C but it seems like the whole corporate thing takes something away from the experience for me. JRAD does unique things and is growing the essence in remarkable ways. Don’t get me wrong I think Mayer and the boys are killing it but the whole experience just feels a little canned. 
If true, this would cause me a predicament as the D&Co show in Raleigh is the 16th which would mean I have to choose. Gonna have to ask Dryw to break that tie, but my instincts say JRAD. I will likely only make one of the weekends if these rumors come true, depending on who is announced. Based on current speculation, this would be the one.JRAD’s gonna be August 13th-15th. That’s what the “save the dates” thing is on the schedule they posted.

I'll be at Phish AC during the rumored Jrad weekend but Panic the weekend before is sounding interesting...

When I asked a friend how they chose between JRAD and D&C, they said JRAD was half the price and twice the speed. I can't say they were wrong, but I still went to D&C. Neither is a bad choice. Options rock,

I did not involve myself in jrad presale today hoping the august rumor is true and they will be scheduled first weekend. I’m literally putting all of my eggs in this basket. Starting a new job and need to be selective this year. The waiting is killing ne!

Actually now that we are really procrastinating our butts off today, let's go with it:
Ahh, the sounds of the old Farm... ee-eye ee-eye oh.**crickets**
Old P-Shappy had a farm, ee-eye ee-eye oh
And on that farm he had some crickets, ee-eye ee-eye oh
With a cheep-cheep here and a cheep-cheep there
Ee-eye ee-eye oh
Here a cheep, there a cheep
Everywhere a cheep-cheep
Ee-eye ee-eye oh

For those of you keeping score at home it has now been 271 days since any official communication from LOCKN about the festival. The last comms from them was to announce the cancellation of LOCKN until October of 2021. Plenty of stuff on their FB page about shows and stuff but nada about the festival.
In comparison Floydfest has had some official communication every single day of the year. It's not that hard to tell your customers what's what.
