im not against an idea like this. id be willing to pitch in at least $50 if not more if it were required. they could use the cash upfront for procuring licenses or whatever from the city or down payments on sound/stage construction.

I'm sure if we'd been a bit quicker on the draw and presented the organizers with a list of 313 members willing to contribute to the cause, kevin or derrick would be more than willing to accept it. I mean even if there are only 500 people on the list (and willing friends of) sending 15 bucks each that's a $7500 statement of how dedicated we are to the event and detroit itself w/o presenting ideas that should be left to the organizers (such as security and fences). Up that to $20 and we're talking a $10000 show of support from the global 313 community. Though I'm sure that wouldn't make much of a dent in the overall costs, I think it would let all involved know how serious this festival is to the global techno community as a galvanizing force. Also, it would stop all the second guessing and put those willing to support up to the task, instead of talking about all the ways we'd b! > e willing to support if the organizers would just ask.
