Hey all,
wanted to let you know that DJ Dragn'fly will be playing for us also!
She is the biggest act so far. Still working through the info /
details with her, but was excited to share this with you all.
Sarah, she's asking for $50 to help cover travel expenses and what
not. Since the amount was small, I didn't think that was an issue, so
ok'd it. Hope that's cool.
One more DJ to follow...
Btw, how are tickets sales & donations going?

$50 is totally fine -- she can invoice, or I can give her cash and get reimbursed. Awesome news!
On the ticket sales.... We've only sold 7 tickets (but two are $250 Supporting Founders! with a grand total of $680.00) -- we need to spread the word wider than the Ruby community. Does anyone have ideas on how to do that?

Excellent!
I think the best way to handle these small expenses is to pay with
cash from door proceeds. Asking for an invoice for $50 is a bit much,
IMO. Also, it's customary to give DJs a few drink tickets each and a
couple of guest passes (they often like to bring their significant
others or a friend or two, ya know). If you've got a budget
spreadsheet going, you might add a line item for that.
On the promotion front, I plan to hit up a few of my party promoter
friends to spread the word. One that I mentioned is DJ seven who has a
really big email list. There are a couple others too. However, I've
been holding off because I'll only get one shot with them. I want to
fully nail down the DJs before making the request. Hope to have the
final DJ squared away today or tomorrow. Also, plan to ask all the DJs
to let their fans know a bit closer to the event...
I also suggest that we make a facebook event page so we can all invite
our friends to the event.
That's it for my ideas. :)
