First Id like to say that Ron Paul is the best thing thats hit America since we defeated the British. We need to take America back and get the young people involved.
In 1998-2001 in Columbus Ohio I organized multiple stage events and worked on large events all around Ohio. I also helped organize the first Hell City Tattoo Fest from its conception. My events have always made money and I had to use the grassroots to make it happen. The tattoo fest is now the best branded in our industry. The head of the organization is waiting to find out if he's traveling around the world filming a show for a cable network. Ive got connections coast to coast.
I was responsible for every aspect of the music events. Financing, Marketing, Talent, Staging, Security and all negotiations for contracts. I was able to do it cheap and reap large rewards. My events were huge. On NYE I was able to pull 4000 people to the middle of nowhere in Ohio in -20 weather at $35 a pop. Im not kidding. And get this.. not one musician was played on the radio.
It gets better. Because my events played all night the local media decided to do an Iteam investigation and ruin the events. They filmed a person... gasp... smoking pot!!! Needless to say, the police effectively shut down our events. The irony of this? I never had a fight happen. Not once. I did have a kid run around naked.. it was pretty funny. My head of security runs up to me and asks me what to do. Imagine a big ass guy running up to you in distress asking you what he should do about a naked guy running around. Nothing bad happened.. he just ran around the crowd really fast. It was hysterical.
We could make this better than woodstock. Peace and Freedom is powerful. We need a music festival like this.
We could form a PAC, throw the festival and ask for donations instead of payment. Then donate the money to Ron Paul. We could have tents with the internet and play videos.. and have Ron Paul speak. Im positive we could get some awesome artists to come play. Ive booked 100's of artists. I know for a fact I can give some heavy hitting artists. Id like to hear a few speakers too. Ive handled 4 stages. If its a camp out.. there is no telling how many stages we could organize. You can never know how many people are going to come. What I learned is that each event is its own animal. I think this one could pull thousands upon thousands.
A free peace concert with Ron Paul. Priceless. Imagine getting the blimp to come there? The granny warrior RV... Freedom unleashes creativity. Creativity and inspiration go hand in hand.
I think we could pull it off for $100K.
Would anyone want to join me on this event? Maybe have a chip in for it? Would you help organize and promote it? Do you have any connections?
Im telling you folks. You want something to happen? Organize the biggest music event for peace for this generation. The 'market' is ripe for an event like this. We can make headlines around the world. I think the only way to show the world we are for Ron Paul is to organize an event on our own like this. We have to unite the country.
Anyone interested in this idea.. please comment or send me a PM.
Ive got some really good ideas that Id like to share beyond the public forum.
Truly,
Parke
