Hello everyone--
I am pleased to confirm the following unique partnership with
local nightclub THE NECTO as we embark on a partnership that will create
an incredible and rare interactive discussion, Q&A and signing with
legendary DJ JOSH WINK! Our friends at Caroline, Ovum and System
Recordings have delivered a solid opportunity to create sales and
visibility for this respected name in the industry. The event will theme
itself and Borders Ann Arbor as the destination to get a behind the
scene look at the tremendous talent touring through our market going
forward. Expect a major presence as the instore will involve the artist,
resident DJ and ambiance to give a true ambiance to our efforts, and the
positioning, placement and promotion that Borders delivers to result in
a true event for customers and fans!
