PLAYERS BALL UPDATES - New talent, details, sponsors, etc.
 

First of all, huge thanks to all sponsors.

If you are looking to do business with these players, you might get a pass to the party. I happen to know for a fact that these sponsors have hardly issued out Players Codes yet, so hit them up now and you will have the greatest odds of getting a pass.


Updates on the Players Ball Talent and info:

January 6th, 2005
Located at the Alladin (Prana Lounge, also called the Crustation - same venue as last year)
Platinum Players Card holders get in at 10:00 pm
Everyone else gets in after 10:30pm
Limo transportation provided from hotel (thanks to Pluginfeeds.com)

Talent Roster:

Cypress Hill performing a FULL concert
Digital Underground FULL concert with a live funk band behind them, sounds like P-Funk
Don Magic Juan and his Famous Players from the documentaries
DJ Evan
YT Cracker

And a possible addition. We've been in talks with Flavor Flav and he REALLY wants to help MC for the night. He came down in price for us if we want him. With a little more sponsor support we can book him right now. He called my agent and said he knew all about it, spoke with Snoop and Ice-T in the past about it. He was super honored that we'd want him. So look for that to be ironed out soon.


In my next post I'll list the sponsor line up.

Nice looks like it's going to be a hell of a show...

if it wasn't for surreal life I bet flavor flav would come for REAL cheap...LOL

sounds real good:thumbsup

This is going to be kick-ass D-

We're happy to be on board :thumbsup

Got Content? I'm thinking of doing another type of sponsorship if content providers are interested. We will have 2 big screens, one near the stage for the sponsors logo's to be seen. The other upstairs in the big area where the main bar is. The upstairs screen I'm thinking of playing soft content branded with the URL's on it. IF I do this, no nudity, wet t-shirts is the limit. This would be a nice way to get your content seen in front of a very qualified audience. Hit me up if interested, look at my sig for details. Let's face it, it's niec to look at during a party and gives big exposure at the same time. Plus we need to raise more money and this should help.

Oh he'll be there for sure.

He'll probably perform as well.

I'm just limited on stage time, so if he does perform, it will be just a tune or 2, maybe 3. You know he always ends up performing.

You don't have a hosting sponsor?

What are the second level main sponsors?

With Public Enemy it's about $50k to $60k.

Alone, normally he doesn't get paid to do this stuff, and if he does, it's alot.

I was going back and forth with is management since I heard about him being on the Surreal Life. I've been a huge PE fan, so Flav being super popular these days made him a no brainer. AND, he's the best hype man in the game.

For me, as a developing MC, having Flavor Flav behind me with Don Magic Juan on the other side behind me helps my stage presence tremendously. I mean, KB, J$tyle$ are good hype men and all, but adding on to our Ju Tang Clan helps us reach the next level.

:1orglaugh

can't wait

The second level main sponsors get their name on the passes, only the top 2 main levels get their name on the pass.

You also get 100 passes with Players Codes to send out.

Banner on the site and monster promotion as we are still over 2 months away.

Hit me up in my email or icq for more details.


The one thing I pride myself in is, I like to get a range of services to maximize each sponsors effectiveness. Just about every sponsor does something different from the rest.

No hosting company yet, though a few have hit me up.

Ok.. Cool.. Short always brings it hard at EVERY ball! Heard you were out in SF D$?? How was it?

I had a great time.

The last 2 weekends I've been out there.

I'm addicted to the Crab House.

Evan and Michael from XPays always take me there when I'm in town, so now I'm always in town.

I also met up with Don Magic Juan to solidify our deal. He's endorsing the new Players Cards and will be a celebrity MC with his other Famous Players.


Remember this Too short moment when he taught webmasters how to curse.

Don't the first people to registered for the players ball online with the player codes get the players cards?

Yes sir.

We're giving a limited amount of "Platinum Players Cards" for the first 1000 people registered.

I've learned that separating areas into VIP is a bunch of bullshit. So I'm opening up all areas (except for the private suites and balconies) because everyone is VIP that attends. Instead, these Players Cards are the true measure of VIP because it's the first half of our invited guests.

Theory being, the most important ones get invited first. This gets you earlier admission and drink specials. It will also be accepted as a true Players Card during other events, not just the Ball.

Here's a peak of what it looks like, just the front side, add your name and URL on the front and the rules of the card on the back.

Alien designed it. We're about to get them printed any day, thanks to Epassporte.

Hey guys....

Ok heres the deal!!!

We are one of the major sponsors of the event and we have 300 vip tickets to give away....

All you have to do to get 2 free vip tickets is signup for a free merchant account at www.merchsolutions.com and begin processing.

We will be putting free drinks on all night! Its looking like a great party.

See you there...

I'm calling every pass this year a VIP pass, so people don't get crazy with the "I want a VIP" attitude.

So, if you get a pass, it's a VIP.

Now, the main sponsors each have a Private Room as well, so if you are a top producer for any of them, maybe you'll be able to kick it in their private room. They have the best view of the stage and a balcony attached the that room.

I'll be diving off the balcony during the Cypress Hill performance... I just hope people catch me.. :uhoh

See, there should be no reason for people to hit me up for passes this time.

It's so easy, all you have to do is listen to what these sponsors say you need to do to earn your Players Pass.

I love when sponsors make it this easy.

Even if they don't catch you, you're so light weight you'll probably float.

IwantU 7.0 is launching just in time for Vegas :Graucho

It will seriously be *tight* both in design and coding. Hard focus on conversions and member retention, this is the dating site you want to be promoting in 2005 :thumbsup

Though if you start now, you can get yourself hooked up for The Players Ball.....become an IwantU Affiliate and get that traffic flowing today.

ICQ 38373031 with any questions.

Pimp pimp pimp!

Great promotions for the Ball this year.

Makes life so much easier on me. People are lazy right now, they think it will just fall on their lap in January, these passes that is.

Now is the time to sign up for these programs and sprinkle a little love through these programs. And BAM! You got a player pass.

100% Player.

Miss you and Jen already- I put on like 50 pounds while you were here. too much good food between the crab, steaks at globe, cheesesteaks and assorted munchies. come back soon now ya'hear :winkwink:

We're planning to do some other stuff in Vegas too (I"ll pin a thread about that tomorrow morning), but Player's Ball is definately the biggest event goin on :winkwink:

Woot! Im excited!! looks like its going to be a blast!!!

Pop me an email, got something for you.

Ninja!!! I weigh 170 lbs. now... I have been packing on those pounds to fit in with the rest of you!!!

:thumbsup Sent!

Maybe in a photochop contest you weight that much!

Are you really?

You looked like you weighed about 150 or under last time I saw you.

Where did you pack the pounds? Man, Pimpdog got you eating good with them phat checks.

Good work D-Money! Hit me up about Mardi Gras. :thumbsup

:Graucho :Graucho

I forgot to add Juicy in the talent line up.

sorry Juicy.

Yeah the last time you saw me I was about 130 wet... I have been eating alot more and drinking alot more.. I keep trying to do anything to make me gain weight.. Seems to be working now...

I just gotta turn some more of it into muscle.. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant right now...

Did you see the documentary Super Size?

I just watched it, just released on video.

About eating fast food and the bad affects it has. This guy gained 12 pounds in like a week. Eating just McDonalds.

Sounds like you're on that diet.

Mostly I think it's the fact that I drink at least a 6 pack of corona a week now..

I don't eat much mcdonalds.. I eat alot of jack n the box, but I also have a wife who cooks ballanced meals for me as well.. So I guess it kinda evens that nasty intake out a bit...

I wanna be at 185.. I think thats a good point to stick with for me and my frame...

w00t w00t....play on playas!

hahahahahahahahaha

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

JaceXXX always gets my humor.

The rest of them take me seriously.

Ju Tang Clan ain't nuthin to fuck with.
