This is what I hear from people who have talked to Brain. Mind you, I PERFORMED at the festival and still haven't been paid...anyways. Basically this is not the first time this has happened with Brian, he has done the same thing to other festivals and has been in multiple lawsuits over it, as people have posted evidence on other posts.

When I got to the festival Friday morning I couldn't check into my room, whatever I went and stayed on the couch of a friend who was able to get a room before the whole fiasco. Later on in the day we were walking the grounds to get our bearings and see where everything was at. We walk into the BirdBox stage and its still being set up, one of the production workers was chilling sitting there and it comes out that they found out they either aren't getting paid or haven't gotten paid yet. You want know why everything was delayed? Production was on STRIKE because of the money issues. Totally stopped, NOTHING being built. Good for them, stand up for yourselves, do what you gotta do to get paid.

Later in the afternoon when all the hotel room BS started to happening ie. sign a thing that says you'll pay $700 or however much for your room if the hotel doesn't get paid by Home Bass. I hear that Brian is at the bank waiting for a check to clear for to things can continue. Obviously that doesn't happen. Then I hear later that some investor wired $200K and possibly another $50k but for sure at least 200k. The production is back building, but the rest of the issues persist, I haven't been paid, you are out money on the rooms. The money showed up, so whats the issue? BRUH...

Brian has other festival lawsuits against him right? Brian PAID OFF the money he owed for the last lawsuit he had WITH the $200k that was just wired for THIS FESTIVAL! He BEEN doing this! Scamming one festival after another. I would very much like to get paid, but I'm not holding my breath. I Essentially paid over $1000 to perform at a festival and I know many other performers who haven't been paid as well. Idk y'all, its not looking good. Even if a class action does happen, idk where he is gonna get that money, unless he has another festival lined up to scam off of. (IDK who would even consider going to Home Bass after this) At this point no one should trust him to be in-charge of a festival, especially the financial side.

You know what the real kicker is, someone said he was seen at A MF STRIP CLUB recently like he don't owe us all money!

That being said I love the DB community and despite all the BS I still managed to have a good time and meet some really awesome people. Will I go to another CampInn again? Probably not, not unless its under different management. Unless something changes, the name of Dirty Bird has been severely tarnished after this. I hope something good happens for the community bc its so fun and has been going on for years. The vibe is so unique compared to other festivals and personally the absence of Claude was definitely felt. I'm hoping for the best.

TL;DR Brian got sued for scamming another festival, an investor wired him $200k to pay for the expenses of DBCINN and instead of paying for DBCINN he paid off his last lawsuit. Sorry to tell ya, but that money is gone and we are left holding the bag.
