    As a scheduled food vendor for the JamBaloosa, (PRASADAM VEGETARIAN CONCESSIONS), I was really looking forward to participating in this event. Erick Gross initially told us that he had sold thousands of tickets and was expecting 12,000 people to attend. He also gave us an extra large space to set up our operation and in a prime location (for the discounted price of $1500) because he liked the idea of vegetarian food as an alternative to the regular hot dog/hamburger vendors. Where's our money now? Anyone want a vegetarian Corn Dog? I've got lots left over.
    Maybe he was really trying to do something and just goofed, although after talking to Kevin Orzechowski, Mines and Meadows and other vendors who were similarly burned, it appears he was not very straightforward or honest in his dealings. He never contacted any vendors to notify them of the cancellation, nor has he responded to emails or phone calls. Now it looks like he's a Wanted Man. The law will be on his butt soon.
    If anyone wants to check out the mailing address I sent my application to in PA it's 210 Crest Street, Clairton, PA 15025. It's a bonafide address according to the Clairton Police Dept, although his name isn't on the address. Maybe it belongs to his girlfriend Tammy. Let me know what you find out.
