Gary -
Of course the Casino would be a wonderful venue, joined by recording and musical training studios, sound stages, a viewing theater for independent films and/or a performing area that could also be used for drama coaching. The proceeds from filmgoers and concertgoers could augment any arts grants we could get to keep the arts center going. Also, shops or kiosks could bring money in.
If we had to keep it small, I guess we could do something similar in the 5th Ave pavilion, by putting an atrium over the Arthur Pryor bandshell - it would have to have a roll back top for those nights under the stars with the sound of the ocean in our ears - to allow year round use. There are materials now that would allow the cover to be darkened for movie viewing. 
 I would be really shocked if someone like Bruce could turn us down if we went to him with a detailed business plan for how this could work.
 
Maire and I mentioned the Hall of Fame on the show last night and the home page had a short report the day after the announcement. It's still up there if you go to site dir. and click on NJ Hall of Fame.
Hopefully we can add udates as they happen.
Call on us whenever.

While we received good press coverage overall I was disappointed in the
coverage in the local area.  Newspapers like the Home News Tribune (New
Brunswick area) had the story on page 2 while the Asbury Park Press (who did
a nice story) practically buried the story in the "Our Towns" section.  This
is not a local Asbury Park story - this is a major statewide project.  I'm
amazed that papers around the state recognized this and some of our local
papers failed to do so.

Of course, Tri-City News didn't even bother to show up.  We knew this wasn't
part of "their plan" for the city but it just shows again how they do not
even attempt to be true journalists reporting on things in the city.  They
report only what they want to report.  Somehow I get the feeling by the way
the story keeps getting picked up around the world that this may become a
story so big that they ultimately have to deal with it.

As a member of the group behind the New Jersey Music Hall of Fame, I would
very much like to hear what people on the Yahoo group think of the project.
We believe it will add many jobs, bring in much revenue, and serve as one of
the anchors to bringing tourism back to Asbury Park.

Anybody care to throw out their thoughts on the museum?
