Since we're steppin' our game this year, the Players Ball and all of our sponsors want to make sure EVERYONE gets a Players Pass for BOTH NIGHTS.
Our main sponsor PussyCash is the registration sponsor for Internext, so this year, PussyCash made sure everyone will be issued a Players Ball pass when you get your badge!
PussyCash is also the current Big Woody Award winner for "Most Generous Program on the Internet", go figure.
So not to worry, if you want your pass for the Ball and you're a registered attendee of Internext, you got it!
What does this mean to the sponsors? Well, we're also bumping the amount of VIP passes each sponsor gets this year. We're turning the upstairs into the VIP room. But I have to tell you, I prefer watching the performances from downstairs, closer to the action. Everyone wins.
The Players Ball will also have a registration table set up inside the Internext trade show. You'll see the nicest banner I've ever made for a registration table, easy to spot me. So if you didn't get your pass at the door for some reason, no worries, just come see me, we want to get everyone to the Ball this year, we have plenty of room in this venue for everyone and then some.
Now, go ahead and ask me what the front door will be like. Though we haven't had a door problem in 3 years, this year will be the most impressive line movement ever. (I'd also like to thank XFANZ for that too, they set up their registration table at the door and it still moved that fast).
The good news about just throwing a party this past Friday night is we get to test out the security team and the VIP hosts. I give them an A+. Ask anyone who made it out the night, we packed the venue, but not too crowded where you can't move. No standing outside freezing, 2 minutes at the max. And for those who remember, it's the same team as last year and I gave them an A+ last year too.
For those sponsors with private tables, you will be the Mack!
Tuesday night, Ice Cube is performing a full 70 to 80 minute concert, not just a few songs. So if you're a Cube fan, I guarantee you will NEVER get a chance to see Cube in this small of a venue, up close and personal. So on behalf of all of the sponsors, YOU'RE WELCOME. And that night is also Pimp N Ho, so dress the part, more people then ever before will be dress appropriately, but you have the option not to.
Monday night Too $hort will blow his whistle and the place will be thumpin'! He's playing some of his newest Bay area hits.
Big Woody Awards - BOTH NIGHTS... Only 3 people know they're getting one, the rest have no idea yet.
OK, now you may pleasure yourselves....
