My boss and I recently paid a HUGE amount of money to advertise with the Lake Havasu Tourism and Convention Bureau, and it is actually turning out to be money well spent. The Bureau, or, The CVB as it's known locally, has some new younger management and their strategy lately has been to actively locate big companies to come here to do business. Be it for events, conferences, conventions, video shoots, or whatever, they're trying to get them to come here. Not just tourists, because tourists are fickle and they back off the traveling with gasoline gets to be where it is today.
So. Long story short. We are currently negotiating to be the managing entity for a Hinder music video and concert out on the lake. Those out there who do not know who Hinder is, you need to turn on your radio for about 30 minutes. You'll hear Hinder played at least seven times. I myself am sick and tired of hearing "Lips of an Angel" by that band, it's been overplayed for waaay too long.
Right now, it's just in the negotiating stages but that will probably change quickly because the video shoot is scheduled for July 7th. I'll keep you posted.
Oh, and not trying to name drop or anything...but....The O.C. Housewives reality show called and booked us for 4th of July weekend. Dang! I've never seen the show, but that's certainly something to have for the old resume!!
