well you guys, i'm willing to bet that we can get more than one sponsor... which is good for a number of reasons

1.) sponsors won't have to dish as much out
2.) easier to find more sponsors

i'm all about counting today

I think the ideas you guys posted for sponsorship are great. i agree that several sponsors would be better. I am willing to coordinate this project to get the float but I will need help with getting the sponsorship since I dont spin and I am not into this industry all that much, so I dont know these sound companies and so on.

I am going to start working on a budget for what we need to pull this off. I should be able to come up with a grant/sponsorship proposal that we can present to these companies. If you have an idea of a company you want to get to sponsor us, let me know and I will give you any sort of proposal I have put together. I think we should ask for amounts between $1000 and $5000. I havent gotten any quotes yet but I am estimating that this will cost us $10,000-$15,000 (if we have to pay to rent all the sound equipment.) If anyone has done this kind of event before and has a better estimate, let me know. also, we should keep in mind that if we want to try and book some bigger name djs who have recognized TA in the past, we'll have to be able to pay them as well...

I requested information from loveparade yesterday but i havent recieved any email from them yet. I will follow up with them if i havent heard anything by monday.

Damn, I wish I still knew my old connection at Monster Cable. She probably gave me $15,000 in cables (for work) and never broke a sweat. It was like nothing to them.

thats because the markup on those things is probably 10x more than the markup on alcohol in a bar



anyway, i think this is a great idea. i'm down to help however i can, altho i'm down in LA.
i'd love to spin on the float.

Hello,

I love this Idea. I am a audio engineer that deals with live sound and recording. Right now i live in florida, but i am from seattle and have many connections on the west coast for sound systems. I will get on this right away to see if i can help out. Im goin to this event no matter what. I am also a tech trance dj, so if djs needed, i can rock the freakin floAt!

I would also like to participate in any way possible. I live near Sacramento. Let me know if I can do anything. I am also a DJ. I can send demos to anybody who wants one to see if my skills are up to par.

This is the first I've heard of this...

I'll look into this thing and see if it is feasible... so.. don't all get too excited about this.. in due time.

Also i'm confused.. the poll is to 'sponsor' a float... not to have your own float where you get sponsors... two completely different things
