2009 Rothbury Ticket Giveaway Is Over!

After tallying the votes from an enormous number of submissions we have identified our winner. Drum roll please......

"I moved from Michigan to Florida this January for work. People said "Florida in the winter....wow, you're lucky" and "you got a job in this economy, man, you're lucky". Well let me tell you something my Michigan friends....you can take a man out of Flint, but you'll never take the Flintstone out of the Man. Give me one excuse to leave this this oceanside resort for a reunion with the best people in the world, my Michigander soul people, and I won't be taking Interstate 75 south again. This Michigan Man is ready to find a way to join all the spirited people celebrating our nations birth with some Great Times in the Great Lakes.....and I thank you absolutemichigan.com for bringing me home!!! Say Yeah to Rothbury, the best music line up of the year....Say Yes to Me in M!ch!gan!!!"

    Rothbury finalizes think-tank sessions

    Rothbury -- the environmental festival they’ve dubbed “a party with a purpose” -- has unveiled its summer think-tank activities.

    The four-day, green-themed session will run parallel to Rothbury’s schedule of 60-plus musical acts, July 2-5 at the Double JJ Ranch north of Muskegon.
    The think tank will include appearances by economist Eban Goodstein, mushroom expert Paul Stamets and Michigan state Rep. Dan Scripps (D-Leland). They’re among an assortment of guests who will lead panels and brainstorming sessions on topics such as “The New Green Economy” (July 3), “Clean Energy & Vehicles” (July 4) and “The Path to Sustainable Cities” (July 5).

    Also scheduled to sit in are musicians from Rothbury acts such as Guster and STS9.

    The inaugural Rothbury made national headlines last year for its environmental efforts, including its ongoing quest to become the first fully sustainable, zero-waste rock fest.

    A detailed think-tank schedule will be released today at http://www.rothburyfestival.com

    I think I deserve these tickets the most. I usually go to at least a couple festivals each summer, but due to bad economic times this summer I wont be able to unless I win tickets. I moved from my hometown to metro detroit this summer for an unpaid internship, thinking that I would be able to find a job that pays, but that hasn't happened yet. I am trying everyday to find a job so I can go, but it's not looking too good. I would love if you could help out a broke college student and let me get these passes. It would mean the world to me and would make my summer complete.. It would make my summer hands down, please help me out, and help something good come out of these bad economy, broke as hell times. Thanks.
