I couldn't disagree more. Many businesses aren't profitable in their first year or two. Even moreso for turnarounds, which Movement is. DEMF had the advantage of launching during a huge economic upswing, which ended shortly thereafter. Movement is operating in a context of a bad economy (Michigan is second only to my own Oregon in unemployment) and contracting ad budgets. The music industry itself, as we know, is an utter shambles.
Those who think they know how to run Movement better might want to call up and volunteer. Maybe if your ideas are that good they'll bring you on as staff. Better yet, invest a few hundred thousand dollars and have a deciding voice in how the show runs. That is in fact how many major festivals of all kinds operate. fred ------ mail forwarded, original message follows ------ To: [email protected] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <atomly> Subject: Re: (313) movement 04 Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2004 11:54:38 -0600 [Oliver Ruehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] > movement 2004 > > http://www.freep.com/news/locway/move14_20040214.htm Man... Give it back to Carl Craig. How you can take over something like Movement and not turn a profit is beyond ridiculous to me. -- :: atomly :: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.atomly.com ...
