ear: not grounded?

so there's been some speculation that the upcoming Ear to the Ground festival was running into some issues of actually, uh, getting off the ground for the first time.

organizers have scuttled such negative talk, but a click on the above link will show that prices are being kept low at their very reasonable prices, perhaps in a gesture to push numbers higher-and I can attest personally that wristbands were moving at both Rotate This and Soundscapes yesterday. with other outdoor festivals like wakestock and ecko's hip hop show taking serious baths this summer, let's hope ETTG blows past this early shakiness and becomes a september institution!
