(small rant for Mel) Please don't get all pissy about this rant, thats all it is!
Me as one of your new customers!
But,
Mel, I have to disagree with on this matter, please take this small insight with a open mind, as I don't intend to belittle you, but it seems you still have a little to learn about promoting shows. It would seem in your best interest to have as many ppl to compete in your new DB Drag events, so you won't have to turn in a poor attendance show results. If you really think its all about a choice between the shows, then your not trying to succeed for DB Drag for this area or your production company.
Is there a new group of guys competing that I don't know about?? If so, please put my mind to rest. I know I like to go to every show possible!!
Now, TBP has their dates up for awhile and you know that they have dates posted for the TBP shows.
Did you tell the owner of Stereo Sound that you had picked the same day as Curtis's TBP show, which was to be less than 10 minutes away from him at the same time??? Did he agree with you and think that would be a better idea for a bigger turn out? Did W.H. of DB Drag think so too, to have a show, the same day as other Org, ten minutes away? How does this make possible new customers to buy their products or service?(shop owner or WH) Are there that many DB Drag guys in DFW area, that the regulars at TBP aren't needed for a good show attendance? I'm surprised at this, to say the least.
Mel you are the one that had the choice of show dates for owner of that shop.
This has nothing to do about anyone else choice, mine or any of the other ppl here in the area. There is good number of us that would have liked to come to your show.
Besides Mike, who else is coming?? Some of the USACI guys to the DB Drag event?? The TBP guys would have been your best bet! Sorry, if this seems a little harsh but it seems that if you want to being successful at this kind of business you should do a little better at planning these events out. I would gone for Saturday on the hopes that the local players would have spent their money on the first of the two shows for the same weekend. Just a thought!
Hope I didn't hurt your feelins! That is not my intent!
Rant over!!
Ohh I forgot!! Does one have to become a member with yearly dues for DB Drag with ID card and all??
