I have to wonder about this whole thing...it smells fishy to me. Endless Summer, best I can tell, has never promoted an event of any kind (thanks Google!) and Ted Absher is a career-long "audience coordinator" and "seat-filler coordinator" for award shows (thanks again Google!).

Then, all of a sudden, he's booking and promoting huge festivals (100,000+ people) with the likes of PAUL MCCARTNEY as headliners? That lineup is almost unheard of as far as festivals go...even established ones with guaranteed attendance.

I don't know...let's say you just started a promotion company and were looking for some legitimacy. Would drafting a proposal for a huge festival with 100,000 possible attendees and headliners like PAUL MCCARTNEY be a bad idea? Even if you knew the small town SB destination that's making an effort to move away from SB events was going to shoot you down? Wouldn't your name being associated with unattainable headliners and unattainable attendance figures be a good thing?
