Boomerfest Question

this is slowly making its way toward the Reef area... maybe a platform to place pier pylons?

Sherman, ex owner of the Fiesta Cruiser was building an under water observatory (no kidding) and I wonder if its a test run. It has some kind of windows under water. That has to be it.

If that's true, I don't think you could pay me to go on it. :puff:

A friend said he saw two of them in Choya Bay a year ago. He said he couldn't tell what they were netting.

Yep....these are to gauge the ocean floor to help determine the how far down the pylons need to be. We are of and running! Viva Penasco!!

Glad you know what they are for - and that it involves the port!

Is the pier related to the Cruise Ship "docking point"? Or is it something different altogether? I've been watching the common lists of Rocky Point "upgrades" (airline route, convention center, etc), but haven't seen a pier mentioned.

Make an enemies list and we will buy them tickets !!

Sorry folks - I have been traveling and out of touch for the last few days. I was catching up reading the other threads and I guess in the conversations with the mayor and the tourism guy there was no mention of Booomerfest? I would think those guys (mayor and tourism guy) would certainly know what was going on and that would have been a big topic if it were actually happening. I guess this is just more stuff showing that it is probably BS.. There was good news about so many other things though I guess Boomerfest doesn't really matter.

Please believe me, Boomerfest is really Bullsh*tfest.


Don't buy into it.

Boomerfest will happen just like homeport same people! anyone want to bet?

If I put out a flyer that says 'pink floyd, the rolling stones and U2' are coming to the 'write your name on a sea shell concert' but then change the lineup to include only 'Juan's tios y tias band'... I guess I am still moving forward with my concert. just a different lineup.

But, I checked Juan's website and it looks like he's already booked for that date.

Not me! I'm not sure who you mean by "same people" (promoters or performers?), but I believe we will see a very successful Boomer Fest, 2013. Announcement should be coming soon.

I sort of hate the Name Boomerfeast....sounds like a trap to lure the most self centered generation the planet has ever seen to one place..kill them and eat them....who is behind this?

Dang funny Jerry!

Not that I have a rooster in this fight, but ..have the condos been notified to take the black out dates off the condos for May yet?

Yes.

For those of you who didn't listen to the show last Saturday, here's what Miguel Guevara had to say about Boomer Fest:

The event cannot be held without a permit from the city. Henry Altman was told the city would not consider issuing a permit until they saw signed contracts with artists. None have ever materialized. When told of the dates for September, he was clear that the city would love to cooperate with this group or any other group wanting to bring events to the city, but compliance is non-negotiable.

I heard they're changing the name to Boomoutahere
