This thing is pretty fluid, so expect the details to be in a state of continuing evolution....
Here are a couple of things to take note of...
1. Last year some folks suggested that we didn't have enough FUNK artists at the Convention.
I think that you will agree that the addition of BT Express, Buddy Miles, Rio Soul, Carlton J.
Smith, Soundoctrine, Marlon Saunders to our list for this year in addition to Sonny Boy,
Mandrill, various current and former P-Funk members, & Vince Montana. Expect more surprises
on the guest list... Of course ALL of these artists will have vendor tables set up with their
merchandise, so bring plenty of x-tra LOOT with you
2. We got one Doo Wop artist so far and I'm working on that as well...
3. The Film Festival which of course is a new activity this year is shaping up to be quite a
nice thing to start the proceedings off with this year (and we have room for 1 or 2 more)
4. The seminars are just "concepts" at this point, the specifics and who the folks are who
will be doing the presenting and on the panels still needs to be worked out.
4. We are going to end up having an interesting mix of Sponsors, keep an eye on how that is
going to evolve!
5. And of course the pricing is going to be fluid, it's 10 bucks for the Cabaret/Awards till
the end of this month, when it will double to 20 bucks...(so even if you are THINKING about
coming, get your tickets before the end of the month)
But this is what I've got for you so far...
