Well, for some mid size Players Balls (ones I can throw during 2007), I can do Ying Yang Twins, UGK's Bun B and Pimp C, those are affordable deals I can get done, but it still takes early sponsorship support to do higher leveled talents.
Jay-Z would cost s fortune by himself, so adding Lincoln Park wouldn't be as realistic unless BradShaw is prepared to by a main sponsorship.
As for a rock band, I've tried to do a rock band every year since the very beginning. The issues are, rock bands are over $100k no matter who you get, big ones at least. I'll keep trying for a rock band and I'll consider starting a new tradition and brand just for the rock folks. But we will need sponsor suppor early on for that too. Just know that right now is the best time to let me know if you have any intentions of supporting the kind of Players Ball YOU want to see.
theplayersball at gmail.com is my direct email address.
So, now that I gave birth to 3 Players Balls in Vegas, I'm ready to start scheduling and planning all upcoming shows. 2007 is the year of the Players Ball World Tour for webmasters.
XBiz, Cybernet Expo, Webmaster Access, Phoenix Forum, Internext and maybe more.
