The Players Ball was one of the best ones ever, from a performance perspective.
However, my main concern is for the sponsors and I have to give an apology for the disorganization of the management at the venue. We had meetings and we went over simple things like seating charts and they got a few tables fucked up and some weren't even on the list. I promise you I gave them the right details, they're gonna hear from me today about that. I tried my hardest last night to over come the line problems and many other fires I was busy putting out all night. Last year we didn't have any issues with this venue, but this year it is under a new management team, they were overwhelmed. Just know that I tried my hardest, and at times when I was on stage during performances, it was to manage the stage and get fools out of the way of the artists. If KB and I weren't up there, we wouldn't of had a performance by the artists, there were too many people jamming on stage. I kind of felt like my hands were tied with making sure the performances went off.
The show was awesome, but for me, if the venue isn't on top of their game, things can look ugly at times.
I'd also like to thank NATS for their continued support, I know they had some issues with the venue as well and I'm going to try my best to make sure I understand exactly what happened. I'll be in touch in the next day or 2 with NATS to compare notes and see what was going on upstairs.
Other bad things included the sound company cutting off the mic as I was trying to plug the hell out of our sponsors, I waited on stage with a dead mic in my hand, fortunately I did get all sponsors plugs throughout the night.
The door was jammed, we probably lost 100 to 200 people that gave up, the venue controls the doors and I tried my best to fish as many people in and get those lines moving.
The Players Cards helped a ton of people get through the line much faster, but it was hard to penetrate through that mob of people.
We had some damage, someone fucked up an antique bench that will cost me thousands of dollars, so I'm pretty pissed off at whoever fucked that bench up, not cool. It was demolished.
The show was tight and the crowd was hyped all night, can't wait to see the video. Our sponsors will receive some great post production video support to help off set the issues during the night, this footage will blow people away so I have a feeling the branding of these clips will get some eye balls for my pimps.
MTV loved the party and shot great footage. AlternativeCash.com sported a little private party in their suite, MTV shot great pre-party content.
Did I mention DMC from RunDMC was in the house? I spoke with him for a while and loved every second of it. He's a legend, very cool he showed.
Now webmasters, don't feel so bad if you couldn't get through the mess, celebs could get through either. Coolio, Chingy and Gorilla Black came and left when they couldn't get in.
The Woody Awards got rushed because Cypress needed to get on stage, but I still got to read off all of the winners and a few winners got to speak and say their thanks.
This party was probably the best Ball over all, maybe tied with the Snoop Dogg Players Ball.
