Actully when I hung out with them briefly in Ibiza, they seemed to understand me (or maybe they were pretending LOL) Anyways, one question I have is...can we use Tranceaddict's name for this? Who do we need to get permission from? I think this needs to be directed to whomever that is.

we need buy in from swamper. he already saw this thread and said he would look into. so he needs to be aware of all the work we do. since this is a big effort to pull off, of course it is going to take teamwork for us SFTAs and swamper and the other well connected TAs. so i guess once we have some more solid information, especially on the policies from LPSF, we need to make sure we have the go ahead. i wrote the chairman for lpsf yesterday. if i dont hear in a few days i will call him.

btw,..Arturo is on NuNRG's management team now,... talk to him for some helpful input,...

no, more like bug him for promos

Just got an estimate back for NuNRG from PAMDJS:

Artist fee: $2,000 US plus 10% booking fee plus travel and accomadations.

Also just received a newsletter from LPSF that float applications
will be out soon, supposedly next week.

That's not a bad fee at all (I have always been told they are real expensive)...is that for the whole group? Or for each one?

I assume...it's for both, the group, NuNRG.

I think they recognize this is a grass-roots TA effort, and we aren't making any money off this, and we need to raise money.

I doubt there's any discount involved really since it's a Saturday gig.

Some artists are just cool with making money to live off of...not much about making tons of money. For example...although this is old, last I heard MarcoV was only $3,000 for US bookings.

To update everyone: Nu-NRG has two other offers to play on Oct. 2nd,
same day as Love Parade, and their management would like to know our status. I am still contacting more potential sponsors,
and waiting to hear back from others. This is going to have to come together ASAP. Obviously, we need firm committment on money.

Does anyone else have any new news?

The first "LPSF volunteers" meeting is today, Thursday in SF - if that means anything.

Also still no more information from LP about float applications, routes, times, etc. This could be awesome if they could just get their act together!

I got the following email from them yesterday:

quote:

Dear Melissa, I am out on holiday until 7/27. I have asked our float and sponsorship leaders to contact you with info. Please allow up to 2 weeks for a reply. Apologies. Josh

i feel uneasy making arrangements when it seems like they really dont have their acts together.

Would love to, but I work in the south bay and won't be able to make it. It's at 7pm. Is there anyone who works downtown who might be able to drop by?

Here's the info:

July 14th, 7:00PM
LGBT Community Center
Room 300

San Francisco

In other news...Pioneer is a no-go for funding. Oh well, I tried.
