Sorry, disagree Almir. Living real life means taking risks, especially for things you believe in. Andrew has done an awesome job keeping the MR scene on life-support for 15+ years (very lean ones, I might add). And while I'd venture every reader on this site would wish him profits and material success for his labors, that is little more than chasing after the wind in this uncertain financial market. Most of us are here not because this kind of music is in vogue or the flavor of the day, but because we're passionate about it.
Whether or not MR Fest III comes off or not, I think it's awesome that Andrew believes enough in the bands, the music, and us, the fans, to try to pull something like this off. Better to try and fail than fail to try.
