I'd love to help out. I spin as well, but I'm down for doing behind the scenes things as well. I'm always on aim, best way to find me. Just lemme know...

Cheap ass venues. Cheap ass Hotels. Dirty UF skanks =) Exactly in the middle of ATL - MIA
Everything supposedly shuts down at 2 AM in Gainesville. We’d definitely have to do an after party as well. I’ve been told there is not a very big EDM following in Gainesville. That could be a problem.

I would like to see a SETA event mid-fall like Scott suggested. WMC is not a bad idea, however even trying to get TAs together for dinner was difficult. There is so much going and eveyone is doing something different. On top of that, most of the DJs we know are going to want to spin at big name clubs if they can and the clubs are not going to give up door money when they don't need to. An event like this would probably have a better turn out when nothing else is going on.
I suggest doing it outside or in a wharehouse where we are not affected by curfews like at a club. Plus if we are mainly advertising to TAs, I don't think the need for security will be very high, but if we are trying to throw a rave, that can change things quite a bit.
I think central fl or a little north would be good. Miami is too far from Atlanta and space is hard to find there. I know you want to throw parties in all 3 locations, but we all know TAs love to be together. If you start with one bad ass party that is centrally located, TA's from all over would come to it.

There is a warehouse on Ives Dairy Rd (1 minute from Aventura) that is rented out for parties. I haven't seen it, but it sounded cool when I heard about it this past week. I'm sure it would be easy to split the door with the owner. But I don't know about the sound system, or bar... I could find out. As for sponser, can we get Party 93.1.com to sponsor it? They can use their Rock money to fund it Muhahhaha I love the idea... put a rock station up to fund the edm events heheh
Do any of you have a legal background? Anyone?.... Anyone...??

Looks like the response has been favorable for this idea. After some thought discussion with a few TA’s our goals would be the following:
a. To promote local talent in the South Eastern United States though hosting events showcasing local talent.
b. To advance the exposure of Electronic Dance music as a positive influence in our community
Having said that, we’ve, so far, concluded that:
Include all EDM in the effort makes sense because many DJs and producers work in other genres as well. This will also widen the potential audience who would potentially attend. If the events are to be a success, we’ll all need to work together.
Of primary concern, and what will be looked into this week is identifying a venue and estimating price. Because the scope and focus have shifted somewhat, the first event being planned will probably be in Miami. Other cities are being discussed for future events such as Orlando and Atlanta.
In order for an event to be done in a city, there will need to be at least 1 person willing to go on the street and identify a venue. Orlando is looking promising from the response so far. Atlanta has just stepped up as well.
I’ll be contacting everyone in the Miami area who PM’ed me about helping out for the next meeting. Miami, Orlando and Atlanta TA’s I’ll be in touch this week.

I could offer up the Mark here in Atlanta. It holds about 400 people and could be a great spot for this.
A lot of TA's alredy know this venue and its feesable without costing to much since I already have my Surface nights there.
