Jolly Knocker Makes 1st Offer to Woodstock 2009




Jolly Knocker Sandal Co. makes the first offer to sponsor Woodstock 2009 Music Festival
----------
There is no other sandal in the world that offers a smaller carbon imprint then the original handmade Buffalo, Jesus style sandals that Jolly Knocker is so famous for distributing. It's 100% green and is actually the oldest sandal in the world that is still produced.



We will strive to give whatever it takes to see Michael Lang succeed with this project. The entire state of the world economy is "all speculative" at this moment in time. But that's no reason to pause, it just gives more purpose to the cause.

Michael Lang said plans for a 40th anniversary Woodstock concert are "all speculative ideas" for now, but he hopes to bring them to reality this summer.The Woodstock co-founder told Billboard.com that his vision is "a free event...a very green project," possibly in New York City. "We want to have as small a carbon imprint as we can and use as many green techniques as we can," said Lang, who was in Austin as part of a South By Southwest panel discussion about Woodstock. The holdup? "It's got to be sponsor-driven," he explained. "It's free, but it costs a lot of money. That's kind of what we're in the middle of right now. Depending on how successful we are in raising that sponsorship (money) will determine when and how we do this event – or if we do this event, frankly."
