Now the event venue was a decent sized performance venue and Coast 2 Coast set the place really nice with a projector at stage right showing the order of the performers and a projector at stage left showcasing a live twitter feed of all tweets with #COAST2COAST in them. It was pretty cool seeing the event attendees' tweets appear live on the projector.
Now the event itself was a bit oversold. Upon being chosen for the event they send you an email and included in the event is a YouTube link to a video of the Coast 2 Coast Philly Mixer where Freeway and a few of his artist came and performed. The video gives you the impression that these mixers are extremely live events but I get the feeling that specific mixer was the only one that was as big of an event as the video showed.
The one good thing about this event is that it taught me a few things. I wanted to burn some copies of my mixtape and get the artwork printed off and put in the case to hand out during the event but the trip itself broke my bank. The show cost me $350 to participate in plus the gas money and food expenses brought this total trip to $423.67. This taught me to stockpile things like CDs, business cards(which I never thought to use), flyers, etc. for events like this.
Upon the ending of the event they emailed us the results of the judges voting. Here are my results
After reading this I can agree with all of the scores except the marketability scores. It's been 3 years since I debuted that song at the 2009 Ape-ollo Talent show hosted by the Beta Gamma chapter of Alpha Phi alpha Fraternity, Inc. and people still request for me to perform this song to this day. I knew my stage presence wasn't the best, maybe not as bad as they judged, but that was my fault. That's it for this review. A reminder that I'm performing a Kingdom on June 29, 2012. Hmu for tickets, which are only $10.
