Adams Avenue Unplugged 2012

As the last reviewer stated, I appreciate the goal, but the goal did not meet the needs of the participants… I am not a person that hates change, but in this case, bring back the Roots festival, the outside venue and the great bands that show up and put on a banging show.
Yes, the bus ride was great, but too much travel between venues, not enough room in venues and to tell the truth, the bands were nothing special. Where is Lou?.. Bring back some good taste and give us our fine festival back please, we will spend money in your town we promise.

I get that Adams Avenue Association was trying something new to get folks inside the businesses. That’s great! I applaud that. But my personal experience was I’m sure like many others.
First place we visited was Folk Arts Rare Records! That place rocks as does Lou and Virginia. Then we walked over to grab coffee at Twiggs to have coffee and hear some tunes at 2:30. And guess what? The musicians didn’t show up.
The good part: we caught a ride on the free trolley & Larry was GREAT!!! I loved the cajun tunes and information sharing about local events.
Then we tried to go into Blind Lady Ale House, a line has formed. The music however is outside with no seating, no drinks and no food! Uh, NO!
Then we tried O’Grady’s, again a line to get in. Uh NO, I’m paying a sitter by the hour, thank you very much.
So we check out Ould Sod, same situation. We aren’t too happy at this point and time.
Finally we find Lou Jones Inn: they don’t serve food! The have three beers on tap, thank goodness one was Bass Ale! So then we waited about 30 mins to hear some Blues. The sound/​PA they had set up was horrible and I felt so bad for the musicians I bought them a BEER! They were told everyone would have a «sound» person. Wasn’t the case. So after an hour of trying to adjust the sound system we decided to hit the road.
The ONE plus to all this: I went over the The Country Kabob Restaurant and ordered a couple of gyros and they delivered them over to Lou Jones! That is customer service!
