Ok people, this is just a loose annoucement because not everything is complete as far as signing the contract with YouthFront and planning goes but it looks as though this will be official so I figured I'd give everyone the heads up!

thats awesome guys im happy for you. i wish i could come out. how many ppl can the venue hold?

The studio area that we'll probably start with though holds approx. 300 comfortably but like Chris said, we need to start small and work our way up, I think if this one and maybe the next one does well then we'll look to getting Andy Hunter for a headliner and do this in the Main room that can hold about 1000 as well as the studio that hold 300, that should be sufficient, but we'll see how things go, I'm optimistic mainly because we are in the Bible belt and religious events do really well here like the  2  day "Rock The Light" concert festival @ Starlight Theatre here.  I'd like to get dj's involved in that event as well, maybe a seperate smaller stage and work our way into the local scene.  Anyway, this is going to be good, I can just feel it in my bones.  If anyone is interested in the Rock The Light festival here's the web link!

I'd like to combine a little of both, maybe start the night with just dance with Christian lyrics and remixes then about half way through the night start the worship part of it like Andy Hunter stuff, I think if we do it that way then we can keep peoples interest in what we are doing, it would really diversify the nights.  I was going to mention to everyone that I do have two particular dj's on the lineup that may benefit from these events, in fact that one is Agnostic but is open minded and not opposed to the idea of God so he may come to know him through this plus his music is very clean content and language wise, the other dj is a Buddhist but not a practicing one, he's of Asian ethnicity so it's family related but he also is not opposed to the idea of God either so he may come to know God as well, it's my hope anyway.

looks like a great event

So, most of the nights I've been at that run 5 hours or so hav3 only 3 or 4 DJ's with an hour to 90 minutes each.  You seem to have a LOT of people spinning.  Are you having multiple rooms?  Just curious how you'll be working it?

Well Trailer and Johnny Trax may actually tag with each other so that will be one set, the other thing is, we have the place reserved from 5 to 2am so we may even start earlier mainly because there may be a lot of kids there with curfews and their parents may not approve of them being there until 2am even if it's a Christian event, I don't know, just going feel people out and test the waters a bit and see what we can pull off, kind of a trial and error situation.

The date move is actually an answer to prayer on my part. With all the treatments I am going through I never know what mood I will be in or how I will feel. By June 28, I will be WELL done with my treatments and ready to D:STROY!
