[QUOTE=kBizzle]32. What does the players ball mean to you?QUOTE]
The Players Ball embodies all that is good with this industry-
It's a celebration of independence, wealth, and good clean fun- Well maybe not so CLEAN.
We have been promoting the Ball since '99 and it's been an incredible vehicle for D$ and I to meet so many great webmasters- not only as sponsors but attendees.
The Players Ball has become an undeniable "brand" and is considered to be one of the hardest tickets to come by-
Next to Hugh Hefner's "Midsummer Night's Dream" party
This wasn't rated by me, but by Channel 11 Fox News in LA.
It's been written up in the Wall Street Journal, featured on VH-1 and MTV- we have attracted a lot of SUPERSTARS to our event- including Mike Tyson, Ashton Kutcher, Tony Hawk, Jose Vizquel, Jeff "skunk" Baxter, Joey Fatone, Howie from the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, DMC- from RUN -DMC, Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park, Twiggy from Marilyn Manson/ NIN/ Perfect Circle
Jenna Jameson of course has been a regular visitor, as well as Stephanie Swift, Tera Patrick, All the Greatest Penthouse Pets and Playboy Playmates
AND THOSE ARE JUST THE ATTENDEES!!!
We have had superstars and legends perform for the Players Ball- My favorites include Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh together at one time- Obviously the SNOOP DOGG and his band of famous Pimps and Players, I have to shout out my boys from
DIGITAL UNDERGROUND as well they have been an honorary staple to this event and without them successfully opening a lot of our shows- I don't know if we'd ever have the same vibe-
Cypress Hill last January with Flava Flav? ONE HELL OF A SHOW-
I also have to giver major props to my man Tracy- "ICE T" for his early support in hosting in Miami and Vegas for us-
He is a true PLAYER and great guy- he is even becoming quite an actor- Love you "T"!
People forget about our very first ball as well that featured Long Beach Dub All Stars ( formerly Sublime) and DJ Supa Mario
That was an incredible experience shared by a lot of us who were new to the game-
If there is one thing I'd have to say the Players ball does better than any other party ( no I wasn't going to say door people) is that it gives people one night out of the year in Vegas to really chill out and discuss some business in some very cozy VIP areas, filled to the brim with "Players" in our business-
When you come to a Players Ball party you see major company owners, letting their down and ripping it up!
People like Sweet T, Ron C and all of CC BIll, FM, David from Python, Bruce and Ken from Hustler, Al Fore ( AL4A)was a VIP for many years and still attends when he comes to shows- everyone from every corner of the globe usually stops by and pays their respects-
I know I speak for D$ when I say thank you to all the webmasters who have supported this party over the years- THE SPONSORS ( MOBBUCKS.COM!!) as well as the ATTENDEES
You have made this an incredible reality for two nice Jewish boys from Cleveland who enjoy booking performances of legendary artists, and having them set the backrop for an evening that consists of great networking, copius amounts of alcohol, and some of the hottest chicks on the planet getting "down" with anyone and everyone.
It's the only party where you can look over your left shoulder and see Warren Moon talking to a famous porn star, then turn to your right, and see Snoop Dogg and Don Magic Juan rapping with Dennis Hof of the Bunnyranch
Look ahead of you and Ron Jeremy is there hamming it up-
G-d bless the Players Ball may it live long, and go MORE MAINSTREAM-
I see an incredible opportunity here to take this party to the next level- and I don't want to give too much away, but movie producers as well as network execs feel there is something there as well-
Keep your fingers crossed for now- and keep supporting the PLAYERS BALL!
