Once again NOT coming to two major music cities; #1 New Orleans, LA and #3 Austin, TX (http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-music-cities/1) but making sure to hit the Musical center of the Universe, Wallingford, CT?:triconfused::triwink:

P.S. Not even visiting either State.

Good Luck, regardless

Not near the DC area either.

We never received any interest from anyone other than individuals in those markets. We are looking for markets that will attract 100 or so DJs, preferrably with the help of a local Group, Association, or Store.

I find this hard to believe for the NY or Baltimore / DC areas and poor Rick Ryan probably the only one from Nashville.

May I please see the invites from WALLINGFORD, CT, CLEVELAND, OH, INDIANAPOLIS, IN, ST. LOUIS, MO, & DES MOINES, IA.

Puhleez!

New Orleans is a city that has a permanent, infinite, and open invitation to all. If you are waiting for an official invite, the line forms behind the 2013 SuperBowl!

Austin is also an open invitation kinda city, with a HUGE music presence and history.

[Sarcasm]As for Houston, H-town has as much music history as it has personality. [/Sarcasm]

I still wish you safe travels and great turnouts!

DC's on this wagon too - if you're waiting for an official invite, don't hold y'er breath. Just have it and we'll all show up.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the dates.... (Kirby runs to calendar to mark the St. Louis date... ) :sqwink:
 
My understanding is that each stop needs to be sponsored by a local association that can guarantee a certain number of attendees. Just looking at the towns, I can tell you that Wallingford is home to the CT chapter of the ADJA, Edison is home to the NJDJN, and Albany is home to an association who's name escapes me at the moment (sorry Cap). Each of those associations are well attended and home to some of the top names in the industry.

What happened to the Pittsburgh stop??
 
We were actually in DC last summer--brought in by Jake Ritchie and his gang at the DC Adja.


As for this years tour--apologies if we're not coming to your city--if you want you can call me at 515.986.3300 x 200 to discuss next year!


Rick--we are not in a cornfield (and no the world no longer revolves around NYC either. As a matter of fact the world revolves around computer servers and the Internet)--however on the whole we see more DJs every summer than any convention in North America. For real.

Wayde, I'm not sure if this is true because the last time I checked, there are no chapters in Indy, let alone the state of Indiana.


Also, go figure the Indy stop has to be while we're heading to Boston.
 
Mac,

Actually there is an ADJA local chapter developing in Indy! ADJA local chapters are in the majority of the tour stops. ALso MB is trying to get to some new cities. So it is a combo of both.

Thanks for the info Drax! Any chance you could drop me a PM with any details you have about the Indy chapter?
 
Dang,I am bummed.I guess I got to go to Cleveland.
 
Well, as there's no Philly Chapter of the ADJA, and if I read that the stops will be somewhere in the 'burbs... can I take a guess at the Philly location? Will it be at Beat Street, AKA Bobby Morganstein's place?

Jake, if you haven't talked with Adam Skuba yet - the EPMEN group - www.epmendj.org is coming together nicely and has between 20-30 members attending each meeting. While not affiliated with ADJA, it is a good solid group of local DJs that has been meeting monthly & will be hosting a 1-day conference this May in Allentown, PA. http://epmendj.org/event.html

Cheers,

Joe
 
We're still finalizing venues--so we'll wait to specifically announce where we'll be when that happens. We still have a couple of slots open for presenters (Contact Mike B at [email protected] if you're interested), and we will announce them when all are finalized.

Joe--thanks for the heads up and lloking forward to seeing you in Philly! We are working with many groups both inside and outside of the ADJA, and the format of the tour (as far as hosting and local sponsors) is a bit different this year, with Mobile Beat taking back the reigns a bit.

Cheers,

Jake

[BUSTING CHOPS]So you received and accepted these specific invitations but they didn't tell you where to show up at...that is some shrewd planning! [/BUSTING CHOPS]
 
Sarge,

Most locations were not 100+ Most were somewhere between 50-80. Also the sign up for prizes was a part of the issue of a high prereg but lower turnout. I think this year the numbers registered & showing up will be closer.

Rox,
The inviter now generally isn't calling the shots as to location. In order to have a more consistent event MB is now specifiying & contracting the venue to make is easier for all. So while they have a town, they might not have settled on where in that town. Right now I think Dave & Busters is the preferred locale for each stop where possible.

I beg to disagree on a couple points Jake...

Yes, the world does pretty much still revolve around the larger metro areas, and that is in fact growing, not diminishing.

The world does not revolve around computer servers -- they are a distributed network, and can be anywhere. People on the other hand, congregate around urban areas.


It's always been my take, that the ADJA/MB has seemingly focused on rural areas, and possibly hoped to grow into major urban areas. That seems counterproductive to me. Either that, or as was mentioned earlier, they can't get the numbers in major metro areas for a reason.

If you can't get the numbers in major metro areas, perhaps the underlying focus of the organization(s) is in the wrong direction, and not targeting a large enough portion of the market, with what they want...
 
Rick,

Your assessment of ADJA is simply inaccurate. I can't speak for Mobile Beat, but we have chapters & members in almost every major urban city in the top 50 cities. Here is just a small list. 3 in LA / so cal, Tampa, Miami, Phx, SLC, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Houston, San Jose, San Diego, Sacramento, Tucson,hartford, Conn, greater Boston area, Charlotte, DC, Pittsburgh, Detroit. With over 15 new local chapters forming presently in other cities of the top 50. We have chapters in 8 of the top 11 markets. I think this qualifies that we are hardly rural focused.

In the cities we don't have chapters in or forming we have members. So no, we are not cornfield focused. 50 largest cities The ONLY Major urban market we haven't been able to crack is NYC. We are working on that, but it takes time & locals that want it to be there. Simply a storefront and a lot of coin will not make it happen.
