I am in the middle of budgeting for a large 3 day festival 90 miles north of NYC.

Yo,
If I planned a "Special" NYTA party on Friday night and it went as long as it wanted to into saturday... Would people go to it even if they planned on going to Tiesto?
Keep in mind, I am not marketing to the "Commercial" scene here.
The Lake Stage @ night is for the NY crew who wants to make this event happen..
Wanna see some raw photos of the place?
I gotta get out there and make a nice sales kit for the place, If you want sponsors like Coke, Fuse/MTV, Monster, Sharp... ya gotta have the pitch!
We are considering getting involved in a "Guinness Book of World's Records" in regards to "Alternative Energy"... and we are also looking to have an effective "Cause" that will touch the hearts of those that care. Get some acts to be a part of it... It's hard to create a cause around "Electric".. unless it's so big that you can raise enough to build a solar power plant that distributes free energy.. hehehehe.. That sounds like a good cause :)
I really am only bothering you with 1 page of 30 in the business plan.
Have no fear, this fest is the real deal... I just have to see how far we should go with the Electronic scene..
Thanks for posting, Keep em coming!

Dude, if you look at government spending... They are spending MORE on alternative energy..
Sorry to get off subject.. I have nay sayers!
ALBANY — The $5 million in economic development funding dedicated to attract the solar energy industry to the Hudson Valley has been left in the state budget and was not cut as part of the deficit-reduction plan approved by the state Assembly, according to Assemblyman Kevin Cahill.
Cahill, D-Kingston, is chairman of the Assembly’s Energy Committee and said he fought to keep the funding intact.
“In order to get our economy moving again, we must continue our commitment to invest in green jobs,” Cahill said. “Solar power is going to play a critical role in our energy future and economic development in our region. I look forward to partnering with Gov. (David) Paterson and entities like The Solar Energy Consortium to make sure this funding is dedicated quickly and effectively.”
The Solar Energy Consortium is an Ulster County-based organization of businesses and universities dedicated to the development of solar energy technology for the Northeast and the creation of perhaps thousands of jobs in New York state.
“In this economic environment, the solar industry is going to go to where the money is, so the quicker we get these funds out the door, the faster we can begin creating good, green jobs in Ulster County and throughout the Hudson Valley,” said Vince Cozzolino, the consortium’s chief executive officer.
This event is SOLARITY FEST... They are my main advocate group that is going to get the funding and support for this to work.
So, now that we have that out of the way.
Enough of the "problems"...
Think of this thread as the "Planning Committee" for ideas on organizing a way for all you guys to get together to party.
Who else is throwing you this kind of party? Seriously, take this opportunity to get everyone you know and plan YOUR party if you want to do it.. This isn't "MY" party, It's your party!
Who do I talk to on here to make this an Official TA event?
Thanks for helping me so far! I appreciate it.

Leave the problem solving to me.. Thats what I do :)
