All the "recipes" for a great event mentioned above are higly commendable and surely from people that want to see Andrew succeed, I don't doubt that but all this has been tried before (except the streaming thing, good idea BTW). Ok, Europe already have a lot o Fests but despite the fact that US is a huge market for everything I think Melodic Rock is not one of this things. The core public of this site is european. If a event like this should be put in motion I still don't think that US is the ideal place to present it. It's very hard to make something like this, profitable, even in Europe with people that have a lot of experience with similar events. So my point stands, Andrew. Just think twice, man.
