not that i know of teh owner said that all i had to do was pay for the rent(workers salary etc. included in rent) basically he never said no to the hours. and yeah man if we make enough(sell enough tickets) to actually pull a profit then yeah ill split it. prob only one stage but ill check. and as dates im looking at june 4(sat)-june 5 (sun) its the weekend after memorial day so there wont be AS many families.

usually when we throw parties @ clubs

we usually take the door and promise the club owner so much @ the bar. Just an idea, but most likely this wont work in this situation. You should definately draw out a contract, if your gonna rent out a club.

i think thats what he meant but im not too sure i need to go talk to him again. i know he said that he wants ALL of the bar sales. which to me is reasonable cuz i dont wanna mess with tabc or anything like that. but i need to have him clarify it more.

what ever agreement you and the owner reach make sure that you get it in writing and it is signed and noterized just for shit and giggles

Originally posted by DJ_Octane I don't know if I speak for everyone, but I'll do it for free. Most of us ride together anyway, so really all I may need is help with gas. If this party really goes off, it would be nice to get a small cut though I think we should get a tentative date and find out how long we have to party so we can start putting the line-up together.

I agree with what Dave said, as long as gas is covered and we perhaps drive back that night then I'm fine with that, and of course it would be a bonus to get a cut if the profits suffice.

Regarding the tickets, I'm not speaking from experience but it would make sense to me to have presale tickets available for a fraction less than the door price. Will call is also simpler than having actual tickets too, but then I'm not sure about a decent online ticket vendor... so I'm stumped there. (they all seem to rip people off)

Also, if the owner is taking all the bar profits, I certainly hope the rent is not too steep were I in your shoes, I would definitely talk to as many people that have rented venues as possible, you don't want to agree to a contract that jibs you! Keep us posted

Yeah, most likely you need to leave the bar to the owner. The TABC rips into their profits so much, they can't afford much else. We shoudl be fine with the door. I hear the people in the valley really love to party and I'm sure they could make the drive. Also, I know some peeps from Laredo that would make it out. Just let us know the time copnstraints so we can make up a good lineup. I would like to have different genres represented as well as other parts of the state.

yeah i would too. at the best i would love for this to be the biggest EDM festival/concert in texas but i know that that will be hard to pull off.

and a final lineup with contracts and dates/times = the time that the owner will tell me how much the rent is(yeah i know its stupid) = the time when we'll know how much tickets will be and how many we need to sell = who will be willing to sell them = the beginning of the end of the planning.

hopefully by oct. ill be able to bring actual contracts to adreniline(sp?) hopefully.......

oh can you all get in contact with other DJ's to tell them about this cuz i want more DJ's from other parts of texas.

Do you have some kind of requirements for these DJs? Experience? Style of music? How many stages do you think we'll have?

Here's some I recommend:

DJ Na8 - House (Laredo)
ArcAngel - Hardcore/Downtempo (New Braunfels)
*23 - Acid Techno (New Braunfels)
Anaken - DNB (San Antonio)

We can try to get a rough estimate of how much time we have and then go from there. DCS, we need to get together to figure out who will play from our roster. For sure it should be:

1. Cinder (DNB)
2. Feuhrer (NRG)
3. Packer (Trance)
4. Octane (Trance)
5. Berzerk (UK Hard House)
6. Scorpio (Techno)

I pick these 6 because all 6 of us post on this board. If we're just running one stage, we need to open it up for the other guys. Once we know how much time we have, then we can add more but for now, I think we should go with this 6.

I would like to see these guys too:

1. Dirk W.
2. Pee-tah
3. ArcAngel
4. DJ Na8
5. Anaken or Aika
6. *23
7. Pope Gregory
8. Ferry Corsten

LOL, I don't know if I should be on the same ticket as Ferry Corsten, but I will do my best. I really need to get more live stuff done in order to "get used" to the feel of things. Public performance kinda makes me nervous so I need to get adjusted before June. Guess there is plenty of time for that though.

I am looking forward to hearing the DCS crew. I have seen ya'll talked up so much and I am sure you can deliver so it will be exiciting to see and meet ya'll. Looks like this thing is coming together.
