I was going to co-sponsor until I saw Robert's note.

>> Riot Fest Proposal

>> Riot Fest is a 3 day music festival that is held in 2 cities on separate
>> dates in September.  This event is extremely popular as people travel from
>> across the county and internationally to attend.  There are five to six
>> stages in all. Vendor tents are placed outside, usually along the perimeter
>> of the fenced in area by the outdoor stages. Attendance is expected to be
>> approximately 40,000 per day, so there are a lot of people walking around
>> from stage to stage. There is ample space to speak to the festival goers at
>> our outside tent. We will be able to carry on conversations with potential
>> voters.  We can also expect national media coverage as MTV, Rolling Stone,
>> Huffington Post amongst others have covered the event in the past.  The
>> target demographic will be the disenchanted Bernie Sanders supporters,
>> Independents and anyone looking for a 3rd party option.  As the event is
>> built around, but not limited to, Punk Rock there are heavy political
>> undertones.  I have also been in contact with Seth Levy from the Gary
>> Johnson campaign who says that this event is “right up his ally” however
>> due to potential security concerns at that point in the campaign can not
>> guarantee his appearance.
>>
>> The cost for a booth at the event was $800 last year, with a 10% discount
>> for non-profit vendors, we can expect the same this year.  The ROI for the
>> National Party will be exposure to 120,000 voters from around the country,
>> plus the potential for national media coverage.  In the spirit of ‘putting
>> my money where my mouth is’ I have agreed to donate the first $100 to the
>> event.  The LP has been accused of only ‘sitting around and talking about
>> liberty in it’s purist form’ and never ‘showing up.’  Now more than ever we
>> need to challenge that notion and get out in front of as many people as
>> possible.  If there was ever a time to ‘go for broke,’ that time is now.
>>
>> http://riotfest.org/    is the web site... They haven't finalized the
>> lineup yet so the massive promoting has not started.
