Sat Sep 29th 2007 - UVIP Party!!

[Plasticmotive]

Okay so I had this crazy idea... goes like this...

Lets throw a 2 stage outdoor event with a bunch of different island promoters working together with the main purpose being to help grow our scene. UVIP (United Vancouver Island Promoters)

This is how it'll work... first, the party itself would be 100% a charity event. Each production company involved would be allowed to DONATE 1 DJ to the cause. (Some sets would have to be b2b)

No out of town headliners will be booked for this event in order to keep costs and ticket prices down to a minimum. This way we can charge $10 for advanced tickets as apposed to $20 advance. The notion here is that every party kid that comes HAS to bring one NEW RAVER. With a $10 advanced ticket price instead of $20, people can then buy TWO tickets with their $20 and bring their new person!!

This is also the reason why we're dong this event at the end of September, school will be back in, and new people will be much easier to recruit.

Here's a list of company's I hope will participate in this event:
(*** indicates confirmation) (If you think you should be on this list message me)


ARR Ent ***
Breakbeat Island ***
CopyCat ***
Dirty Bass Mint ***
Dubhouse ***
Fatkats
FireBudha
4theMusic ***
420 Kru ***
Jolene ***
Jungle Pals Collective
Karizma ***
NeXstep ***
Pumphouse ***
Reliable ***
Therapy
Whitebird


All promoters must contact me at: [email protected] to confirm their involvement in this event. Or just post on this thread that you're in. :P

Anyone wanna help me run the Newbie Raver Initiation Games?!?! LOL

We Also need to come up with a proper name for this event that does it justice, I had a good one, but I can't remember it at the moment. We could also make this an annual event!! What do you all think???

[baby-phat]

Jeff.. that sounds wicked!!! :D
If ya need anythin, just let me know- I'd love to help out with this.

[Elena]

Jeff, I think this is a GREAT idea!!

[LexI:ARR Ent]

Dude Im so in for this, all the way!!

Good way to get everyone together!

[ShaiZ]

We tried this a couple times over the years.

Never really came together, for various reasons.
Could be fun.

[djOKIBI]

Sounds like a great idea. :D
I'd love to help out (with flyering, setting up, whatever.)

So I've been told. This time it'll be different for two reasons. No one can fight over who the headliners are going to be, cause there aren't going to be any. And by making it a Charity event, it eleviates any problems we'll have with money and who's getting what.

The only thing we'll have to figure out is who will be our initial investors. I'll be one, and Deaker said he can. So we really only need a couple more to invest $300 or $400 each. =)

The money aside, it's pretty cut and dry. And we'll probably use Lucas for sound and lighting, which he'll get paid for, assuming he's joining the cause.

[Jarhead]

CopyKat is always down for events like this!

[Chewy]

sweet, sounds like fun times. Good luck

[420Kru]

300 - 400 if need be.

I'd like to see it back tho.

[:-Jamie-:]

good idea man!
i can help out in any area im needed.

[Alex Arnot]

This sounds like a wikked Idea.


Haha, that's such a short list of promoters lately, when compared to what's out there, it's scary.


Good luck to you Jeff,let me know if there is any way I can help you out :)

FNK could invest $300-$400 to help sponsor this event. We're looking to expand more into the island and create a more prominent Vancouver Island Events section....we just need someone on the island to help promote FNK out there. Anyone interested?

We could also drag a bus load of people from Vancouver over for the event. ROAD TRIP!!!!!1

[sNyx]

I'll donate the flyer design. Lets talk, msn me [email protected] =)

Sounds great!! Always interested in helping. Make some posters!!

We should definately load up a bus full of people from Van, I'm sure we all know people who'd be down for that.

On a side note, I've had some discussions about possible venues for this event and it seems like some of you would prefer a non rennegade venue. I agree, and it would help us be able to be more liberal with our promotion if we had a legal secure venue. We'd also be able to announce the venue well in advance, with maps, this way everyone knows where they're going, and more people will come.

Iguana Ranch is an option I want to look into, I don't know of many other legal outdoor venues, so if anyone has any good ideas...

Being one of the longest lasting promoters on the island it wouldn't be right not being involved :)

It's going to be hard to choose a DJ though, I mean, I would obviously want to play myself but sucks not being able to let my other DJs play! Just give me my own stage i'll pay for it :)

Also, who gets what timeslot? Do we draw straws or what?!

^I was wondering the same thing!

No offense but must bring a noob friend??? That's not always easy, it's hard enough getting some of them to go to Hush!

That's just the idea, not everything in life is easy, but obviously we're not going to turn people away if they can't find someone to bring!!

I think adding another stage just adds to the bill, unless you mean you'll pay for it outright?! lol, I've been thinking a 3rd stage could happen, shhh.. As for time slots, we could draw names?! First put the dj's into two categories (breaks, house, techno, etc/DnB, Jungle, etc) Then maybe we could first ask for volunteers for opening spots, cause those are the hardest to fill usually. Then we draw names for the rest of the spots. If people wish to trade their spots after the draw, that's cool too!!

[Elena]

I know a lot of people who want to go to ravess!!I can lend out some noobs!! HEHE

[baby-phat]

^^ haha.. I think I may be able to find a recruit.

Actually, years and years ago me and my friends all used to have this lil "adopt-a-newb" thing. We'd make friends with someone who was at their first party and take them under our wing. :) It was fun.

[kittah]

I'm in

[Elena]

AW Angel that is awesome!! maybe we cn do that at twisted minds! hehe
