yes, but we all know it wouldnt work out. i believe that even if it were
$1 a day, or even for the weekend, most people wouldnt come and there
would be about 1500 people down there... maybe 2000.
look how many events happen year round that are FREE in detroit. where are
the people who come down to the fest the REST of the year in detroit!?!?
to these people, the fest isnt about whos playing, its about the fact that
its a big ol rave, for free.
if the vast majority of them even cared, detroit would have a bigger club
scene than london.
do the math! even if the #'s are blown way out of proportion for
attendance.....
lets say 50,000 people (from detroit, not global) go to the fest, and its
obvious that number is very very low..... why is it that with all the
promoting in the world, its nearly impossible to get over 1500 people to
come to an event in detroit?
as insane as it sounds, i have to think that even if it were a measly $1
cover, it would tank.
i wish/hope im wrong though.
derek.
