I still can't believe that the city doesn't pay a dime. Down here (charlotte) the city pays for most of the chessy music festivals we have and they don't draw anywhere near a million + people. Do any of you guys in Detroit know whether the city helps for other festivals in the city.

So what part of the business do they need to run better? Is it the getting sponsors to support them during a crappy economy part? Is it the trying to convince the politicians/city to cough up some cash part? Is it the part about putting up even more of your own personal money or getting monstrous loans just to throw an event and go into major debt? I'd like to know... Derrick can take all the business classes in the world but if nobody is going to give up some money to support Movement - it ain't going to happen again. How long do we hold onto our checks before there isn't another festival?

But Movement 2005 is in a precarious spot. Detroit can't let this slip away. this is an excellent article - really says it like it is. I think everyone who has ever enjoyed Movement or the DEMF should read this I didn't go this year but I'd like to make some donations so I can go again next year where do I send my check?
