Bottles of Bud are $2 during Happy Hour at Pele's. And there is some overhead costs involved as well. None out in that parking lot.

I can assure you with great certainty that Jaxsons Night Market is not free to put on.

MusicMan, I think you understand the difference between the usual bar price of craft beer and the happy hour price of cheap beer. I also think you understand my point that the beer at Night Market is comparable in price to a comparable product at Pele's or most other places in this market. As Ben says, there are unavoidable costs (including archaic legal hoops) behind alcohol at a bar or event. Your criticisms aren't really fair to Intuition or to the organizers of this event.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

This was a great small event. I really want to know where the folks who attend live? Downtown? Did not look like the downtown crowd to me.

A lot of Springfielders attend. I know a number of urban workers/suburban dwellers stay after work as well.

If you go back and read my post, I enjoyed the event and clearly I drink a lot of Intuition's products. My OPINION
stated was $5 for a 12 oz can was too high.

If you haven't been yet, this is definitely a cool event to meet up with friends at. Quality vendors, good beer and a unique aesthetic.

This is a fun event, I wish I could go tonight, hopefully next time.
If you haven't been definitely check it out, you should also plan on eating there, and then of course, drinks afterwards at the volstead or bar of your choice!

fieldfm - how has the event been going popularity wise? Consider it a success?

Coredumped, attendance-wise.. yes.

The next step is getting some of the vendors into permanent spots. Very optimistic about some prospects. Once that bridge is crossed, then I would start to consider it a success.

The event seemed very well attended last night!
Field, who can I talk to about booking to play music at the night market?

I attended last night for the first time. I was surprised at how many people were there, and the mix of people. Nice selection of vendors, but weird placement of the live music. Kind of blocked by the trucks and you couldn't see it from the tables. Would've been better placed where the fusion or Vietnamese food trucks were set up, in my opinion. Overall, very cool idea and I will definitely be back.

Thank you sincerely for attending.

That's how they were originally setup, however I was having major issues getting power at that spot (the breakers kept tripping at that power source) so a compromise had to be made to move the performers to a different spot. It was not ideal, but the show must go on.

There were actually quite a few people there last night it was a really cool sight to see so many people having a good time like that. Really awesome event and major props to the organizers on this one.
