Possible headliners for the Lake Stage (Friday / Saturday)
What do you guys think of Infected Mushroom?

IM is good but they're gonna cost you, VS. getting 2 DJ's for the price of one who will do the same damage probably for less. Say J00f vs. Christopher Lawrence for example along with other talent.
Will there be visuals or lasers?
Important question here! Will this venue have SHOWERS? Imagining dancing with people who haven't showered in 3 days is going to be teh yuck :nervous: |

I beg to differ. Past few times either J00F or CL have been here, the nights were pretty unsuccessful. J00F played at Love and it was empty by 330 in the morning, unfortunately, while CL doesn't exactly sell out Webster Hall the one or two times he's played there, not to mention Rebel which had maybe 100 people by the time he got on... Infected Mushroom is one of those groups that will always draw a huge amount of people... But like you and I said, that comes at a very very steep price, you're pretty much booking a superstar EDM act as popular as the Tiesto's and Armin's, and if this guy has that sorta money, I don't know why he's not doing something in NYC ;) |

I wasn't referring to the draw, but the quality/style of music. Of course there would also have to be other artists on the bill as well.
Lately rave's are booking CL so he really can't be charging that much, prob same with J00f. Didn't catch him when he was here but I did catch CL. |

Oh yeah, definitely, they're both amazing DJs, especially J00F, one of my favs, even nowadays though he's a bit quiet... |

So, who would you rather party with, J00F or IF? I think they are all priced similar. |
Far from it, man... You're talking about like 3500$ vs. 20,000$ between the two of them... flying in one guy vs. flying in 4 band members and stage equipment.
The difference is (unfortunately) J00F has maybe 100 good fans in New York while Infected has thousands. |

i've seen both on several separate occasions and enjoyed both shows. saw BOTH play the same night at Guvernment, and when comparing them side by side, would have to say i enjoyed Astral much more.
as for the post a few people me about j00f's following, i would say he would still be my choice over AP and IM... but yeah, i guess if you are trying to draw a big crowd you might want to go with AP or IM. |

I agree. Right on!
Well guys, It's my job (with the help of a Corporate CEO spokes person) to sell the sponsorships.
I have to create a business model that is appealing to them. You can not bank of "Exposure" sponsorships. Ads aren't good enough. They need something serious...
Like, they let us "borrow" $50,000 in solar panels to power a small stage during the day (Publicity Stunt)
Those panels would then be donated to "Habitat for Humanity"..
So, they get the Advertising and their money is written off as a donation, not an advertising expense.
We show that we are being supported by big companies & get to use their product as a publicity stunt.. Plus, people know that our event is donating all of the panels to the poor!
So, when finding sponsors, it has to be win-win if you want to score.
Once you have the appearance that the other big companies think its a great idea, they all jump on board. It's the same as going to venture capitalists for money.
Bear Mountain is 30 minutes south. This event would be like that.
Thanks Again!
