I started a new thread since we have a naLame for the event. I figured we might as well use it.
I just signed up John Emrich to do a clinic.
Alan and VExpression Ltd are going to be a sponsor and provide prizes.
George Lawrence of George's Drum Shop and the drummer for POCO is going to lend a hand with promotion and contacts. (Trivia: George played the Synare parts on the song "Ring My Bell.")
I have had contacts from some vendors, small and large. I can't say anything till it's official, but we might have an interesting assortment of displays and clinics.

I need to update the web page today.

Due to expenses, I think I am going to have to charge a $10 admission. Anyone see a problem with that? I will set it up so I can take checks and PayPal at the website.

I am also thinking of having T-Shirts for the event. It might only be preorder. Like when you register, its like $10 for admission, $25 for admission and a shirt. That way I don't have to make to many extra.

Anymore ideas. Keep em' flowing.

The greatest thing I could use is ideas.
-How to market and advertise this.
-Ideas for events and panels
-Guests who will appear for free. (I have a small travel expense fund)
-Stupind thinsg to avoid.
-How to sleep at night without thinking of this stuff!

I think adding the site to our signatures and on all of my websites tommorow is a start and I will post some stuff at GC and Sam Ash over the next few weeks. There are alot of musiciands there and I know alot of people and I will probably bring people with me. Thats a start, then bug everyone at VDrums to go and ask Ed to put futuredrum in the header and maybe RMC audio. Explore all avenues since it is EDrum related.

I will come up with more, let me sleep on it. T :) :D
