halifax Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hello all, I have to say it's been a battle to say the least finding a place. With Vegas, we find a location, and have solid interaction with the venue. Vancouver, one email to the canadian brewhouse and they're on board and are happy to have us there. New york has been a different beast altogether. I've contacted about 30 places so far...most don't even acknowledge or return an email or call. I don't get it. Is this how business works there? It makes no sense to me. I finally found a venue, guy seems to be on board. I ask for a specific day and he agrees only to realize that I picked the wrong day. Since that time(about 3 weeks ago I've asked to confirm the correct day via email, fb messaging and phone calls, all of which haven't been returned.) If he replies, then awesome, but I can't wait and hope he replies. I could use some help (and shout out to @MikeGartner22 who's been a great help so far) trying to help find some places. I've even expanded my reach to new jersey. This is the preference for a venue -can support 80-100 people -serves food and booze -solid internet connection for streaming as well enough space for station set ups. -they are willing to let us be there for free(trade off is the business they will get our sales) Please post anything and everything you can think of and I will reach out to them. The sooner I can get a venue the sooner we can get a "save the date" in place for those out of towners wanting to travel. Thanks guys! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Maybe we should find the bar that had agreed to host it on instagram and twitter, and just spam the s**t out of them until we get an answer. Or just do it in Montreal or Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualizard Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hey Halifax, I guess NYC does things differently. (The Bastards.) I do think reaching out for help is the right idea. Specifically, it sounds like you need a local guy to go by in person and try and set stuff up. The old fashioned way. There are quite a few NYC dudes, right? (MikeG you mentioned, but there is Raph, Chaos, Tex, Lupz... who am I forgetting?) Or, I like the Toronto or Montreal option! (I know this next time around in Toronto I will stepup big time. Last time I wasn't really part of the community.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
