The Minibosses love Defcon so much that they're willing to play for your donations. Anyone wanna help 'em out?

Me, several guys in toool, etc are trying to band an offsite party to help make this happen. We are in vegas hunting for options. Please pm if you want to help make this happen

ok, got a place and time mapped out, please set aside sunday at 1p and
we'll twitter the location, everybody find and follow defcon16 on twitter if you
haven't already.
NOW. places to crash or store equipment? anyone want to pony up some
floor space to crash on or a corner we can store a couple of things in?
if so please pm me or reply here. thanks again everybody.
Can i assist with this? I can run things by whoever you need

Current offsite prospect on strip off monorail is looking like 27k on paper for 3 hours open bar 250 people. Pretty certain I can get that down to 20-22k at least.. and venue would be pretty badass, But still pricy without decent community buyin (80 bucks per partier) on the short time frame we've got to work with..
Still working it for options but running out of time

At 5k per hour open bar

At 5k per hour open bar
With an estimate of 250 people, we're already looking at something similar to my existing donation. Will sudux donations count toward entrance fees?

right now we're at the point of polling for sponsors/resources hoping to avoid the negative taint of buying a $60 'ticket' in. Anyone with leads and interest please contact me.. Especially if you're in vegas around the Caesars area, we will be trying to pool a party roundtable

oh and I don't think the intent of the donations had anything to do with the effort I'm blabbing about. If this does happen and we can get the minibosses jamming for us we will work with them to get contributors into the party accordingly

We can still use whatever you all can spare to get these guys properly hammered. :-)
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so far!

Quick update on the offsite idea, it's a no go.. Simply not enough time to soundly pull off the logistics for the kind of party we were looking to throw, plenty of other things sprouting up impromptu. Devious plans for next year, but for this year keep your phone charged and twitter near. Oh, and donate to the minibosses, they fuckin rock

thanks to all who came, bought merch, donated...SO APPRECIATED.
that was a really fun show too. NEXT YEAR -> let's play soccer with
those beach balls, man that would have been an intense game with one
of those tents by the stage.
