Noice!!! Problem really isn't finding dj's or sound, lighting, promotion etc.... it's finding a rocking venue, then finding a following here in the ict. It's pretty much all gone into the club/bar. Myself personally refuse to spin in a club or bar. I'm all about supporting the scene, but people in this area are just burnt out of the same ol venues, same rotating dj's etc. Plus the vibe, or lack there of, is barely hanging on. A "rave" is really no longer a rave it's just a party. The spirit of it is slowly fading. But I as you are open to any new suggestions. If all dj's, sound guys, lighting, etc... could collaborate on ONE huge event instead of these small gatherings, where the music only caters to certain groups, then things might build back up. Need a dj i'll do it for free, hell i got quite a few that would do it for nothing, sound lighting, i'm with you m8, No problems. Just gimme a freaking venue other than a damn club/bar. I would love for this next summer to have any and every damn dj KS has to offer to find a venue, preferably outside for camping, all of us use our networking and throw a rocking party for minimal cost. Get every willing participant in the scene to donate what they have djing, sound, lighting, services etc... and i'm positive people will turn out. Good people coming together to throw a massive party, with ALL types of music. Bring everyone back together. I would love more than anything to help in anyway, even if it's just promoting a huge event this summer in kansas, specifically more in the ict area. but anywhere in ks will suffice. It would be stellar to have like a two day camping event with different stages for all tastes. Just John i would love to help you in anyway possible, hell even if it meant that i needed to for over money for a headliner fee, i'm a willing participant. Dance hall licence, cabaret license, no problem, it's throwing an outdoor event that's tricky, only holding it for one night you either gotta keep it on the DL from police, have private land with licence, or hold it as a music festival other than a "rave". I would lub to brainstorm with you m8 anytime.
