- any idea WHY? what is the difference here?

- how much does it cost for an artist like you to attend Hamburg?

- what needs to happen or change for europeans to get interested, to get involved and to get organized and do this their way?

- Is there a European network that is tackling this issue? A lot of US artists took chances when they did their Flatstock and I am sure a bunch of them never made any realy money in the beginning....

Seriously... start this discussion right now because if you guys don't you will end up with a huge gap between the European and US artists... one that will only grow wider ... and before you know it you will face a situation where the Americans will have an infrastructure for themselves on your grounds making it even harder to succeed ... turning into a vicious cycle

I usually talk out of my ass but I hope the Europeans start to get vocal here... and I have some sort of a response to your comments about not being able to make money but want to hold off on that until some others (euros) have chimed in
