That was the message from Todd Snider on the first night of what could be a very interesting week in San Marcos, Texas. Not only is Todd Snider paying tribute to Cheatham Street Warehouse owner Kent Finlay, who passed way earlier this year, he is also filming a documentary and encouraging his followers to join him in sharing his message by creating signs and living amongst the bar in a tent mini city.
Day one drew a couple of hundred people including songwriters Hayes Carll, Owen Temple, and Adam Carroll, among a host of other notables. The festivities continued through the night, making good on Todd's promise to protest throughout the week. Day two promises another host of luminaries of music and more encouragement for everyone to 'Be cool'.

Special guests:
• Monday: Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll, Chris Caroll, Jonny Burke, Dustin Welch, Greg Brown and more?
• Tuesday: I'll try to list all of them this time...
Thursday through Saturday's performances are being filmed as part of the making of a documentary about Cheatham Street Warehouse's late owner Kent Finlay! They're going to close the street between the warehouse and the woodshed (it'll make sense when you get there) on Friday and Saturday unless the man puts his foot on their neck and makes them open it back up, but I think they're doing it legitimately, so maybe it'll stay that way!
