Andy Stoll Quotations

Nonprofits don't have the money or time to market themselves and artists need help getting their work out.

I think as long as there is a need for the community to continue to improve, there will also be a place for the ideals of the James Gang.

Our biggest challenge is letting people know that we exist. The other festivals have thousands and thousands of supporters. We are hoping to appeal to those people and give them another fun thing to do this summer.

When people do what they're passionate about, there's this energy that's output. And when that energy is directed at the community, everybody wins.

We all knew a number of people doing cool things and thought it would be really neat to get them all together.

It's about community. It's about brining people together. It's about creativity and service. It's about making the community in which we live a really great place to be.

For our purposes, we define (William James) theory of pragmatism to mean that instead of just talking about something, you should get out and do it. An idea doesn't have a worth until it is acted upon.

The James Gang is thankful for this recognition. We're humbled by it. Most times, we don't often feel we belong in some rooms, but you have welcomed us and allowed us to participate.
