Corporate sponsors = Yes. Unless you're really rich and can sponsor yourself.

Alcohol yes
Banks- no, unless they are locally owned and actually put money into the community
Bars and Restaurants yes, locals
City Government no, couldn't stand the red tape
Small Box yes
Musical Family Tree yes
Your Business or Organization yes
WTTS no, unless they begin to live up to their name of "Independent Radio" and open up their airwaves
Q95 no, unless you're planning on having the Silver Bullet Band play
Lite FM Really? This is an option? No.
Fox 59 Sure, they actually cover local events.
Gannet No. No. No. NO! NO! FUCK NO!

How about Nuvo, and a couple of the local university and high school radio stations as sponsors? They actually have a track record of caring and supporting the musicians likely to play at the festival rather than just paying lipservice and taking dollars.
