as a dreamer these kinds of questions make your mind jump to a thousand different places; open a coffee shop, travel the world, start a record label, pay off my school debt (okay, that's the pragmatic side of me thinking and probably what i would actually do)...
...but today i think i would start my own music festival.
i would plan the whole thing myself (because i'm a bit of a control freak, except i'd hire someone to look over contracts because that's a boring job) and basically just bring in bands/artists that i love. and since it's my festival i'm allowed to stand wherever i want and eat backstage food and i would get my own golf cart and it would be awesome.
obviously the most important part of any festival is the line-up. amazingly, all of the artists that i would want would be free on the same days (we'd start small with a 2-day festival) so i wouldn't have to worry about someone not being able to make it (how fortuitous). here is my dream line-up in no particular order:
- switchfoot
- needtobreathe
- paper route
- parachute
- colony house
- judah & the lion
- mat kearney
- the classic crime
- ed sheeran
- ellie goulding
- one republic
- lights
- imagine dragons
- ben rector
- green river ordinance
- the wedding
- dave barnes
- pink? (i feel like i need more ladies)
maybe this list would get no one excited but me but frankly i don't care about your feelings, this is my festival so shut it.
i told myself all of these bands had to be current because if i put reo speedwagon on the list i'd want old school reo not current day so yes, somewhere in my heart of hearts i believe this could actually happen someday.
and of course i know that to bring in the bands alone would be over a million dollars which leaves nothing for staging or sound or lights or security or whatever but why are you trying to kill my daydreams?!
what would you do with a million dollars?
