Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/03/23 02:16 Hi there! Im new to this board! ... It seems like a lot of fun! I wanted to talk about the Simsbury Meadows. Its cool that the HSO comes every year, but that seems to be it. No big name acts. The Beach Boys were the most famous people we've had there! ... I went to the concert for the Temptations and The Four Tops and it was SO much fun! But I just wish each summer would bring 3 or 4 really high profile shows, that would bring life to our little town and moeny into our hotels and restaurants! The Simsbury Meadows would be a perfect venue for acts like: DIANA ROSS, JAMES TAYLOR, HARRY CONNICK JR, GLORIA ESTEFAN, DAMIEN RICE, JILL SCOTT ETC... I also wish they would have hot young acts that would attract the kids to the arena... acts that are becoming famous but aren't quite big enough to fill arenas or theatres yet.. someone like Sara Barailes. I just think its one of the coolest things our town has to offer.. and its not used at all.

Sean.

Re:Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/03/23 13:08 I agree. Simsbury pays all this money for something they don't even use. Typical. It would be cool to see more acts come during the summer. Every 2 weeks would be cool, since there's not much else to do in this area. Maybe it's time to fire the director and hire someone who will work and get more acts in here.

Re:Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/03/23 13:10 Hopefully, we will see more shows at the venue this summer or next. I think they're forming an exploratory committee to see if they should hire a director for the facility. It'll only cost us a couple hundred grand to figure it out and then hire someone for another 100k to do it.

Sound to me like someone from Parks and Rec should get the calls out and save us a few bucks. I am sure they're all working hard, no disrespect to any of them, as I have seen how hard they work during the ice skating season and pool season. There must be someone, somewhere, with the talent to promote, or even find a promoter, who would do it for the percentage profits that they could reap.

Another town employee, benefit package, etc will just cost us too much.

Hey, I hear Tom is looking for work now.....maybe we can just hire him back and give him back his time off............

Re:Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/03/23 23:07 I would take the job of director, and for very little pay! ...although, I doubt they would take me, ... I dont have a college degree yet. Does anyone know who is in charge of this exploratory committee? Who can i contact to discuss this more?

Re:Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/03/24 19:03 They should hire my brother. He has connections. After all, Jay Leno has called my house before

Oh, and my brother is only 18 with these connections :hi5

Re:Simsbury Meadows = LAME! - 2008/05/26 22:03 A college degree does not necessarily make one smart. Don't put yourself down.
