Paul Festival needs your help.

Over on Daily Paul, there's complaining that Paul Fest is not properly notifying the bands. Apparently some band who is #50 nationally in the rock category on reverbnation has been rejected, and quite a number of the bands aren't at that level.
It's things like this, not a lack of awareness of Paul Fest, which might be causing whatever difficulties might be occurring.
What you might want to do is open up this process to public scrutiny. You're pretty much tapped out with the bands that I'd expect to see. You have Red Jumpsuit, Burns and Poe, Jordan, Golden, and a whole bunch of bands no one has heard of, some better than others, and a few of those bands do have some various credits.
There are a few acts though, that are real head scratchers. I know that you have a lot of gaps on Sunday for bands, and you might have other spots open too.
Why don't you just have a special thread : "Pick the Paul Fest" bands? And just give a bunch of links to bands who said they wanted to play.
Let the people here do the work of listening to all of these bands, which is a time consuming process, and periodically, someone who is making those decisions can check in and see what people have found about these bands.
Listening to hundreds of bands, many of whom I never heard of, and then accepting, rejecting and slotting in those bands for a music festival with hundreds of acts and dozens of venues is something I was paid to do. I can go through a list of 100 bands and find the best ones, or at least a handful that really shouldn't be rejected. But so should everybody. I think a discussion of this sort would build enthusiasm and excitement around the event. Not some tremendous amount, but some.

right, I'm talking about whatever music fits whatever parameters. The point being, mostly, that if there are 100 music submissions, or 500 music submissions, if we have a whole lot of people looking through and trying to find acts of merit, we'd be able to do this better, more efficiently. If one person is picking out these bands, and if that person isn't really good at it, can't properly process whatever information is in front of them, you're not going to get a better result.
