I have to give it up to Red Bull for making a world series of events and raising people's awareness about a sport I didn't know existed. I think it's real classy that they chose an area where they can sell seats but also let people at Sea Port Village which is free to go to, be able to watch too. Convis was all over this event too promoting hotels that you can watch the air races from.
As for myself, I have yet to reach my goal of having a Red Bull Air Races party. Last year while my friend's were doing an event at Ben's some Austrian's left some travel ticket stubs on a table and I thought to myself "I got to have a Red Bull party." I went club hopping over to Thin and Onyx that night and noticed the influx of European tourists coming in just for the Red Bull AIr Races. The Air Races don't have much going for them as far as club after parties go. This year they had their own outdoor stage set up over a parking lot in downtown where I took these pictures of a Red Bull airplane.
Anyways what I wanted to muse about my attempt at having a party. I had a venue lined up and wanted to approach Red Bull about having a party or at least have the media rights to their logos to promote a party. The problem was that the corporate website was not updated yet so I didn't feel confident contacting Red Bull without being able to show them how the venue looks now with the remodel.
When I see an outdated website I think that a businesses operation is amateurish or unorganized. You don't need Marketing Melodie to tell you that. Granted, maybe there was just other priorities going on with the business or other circumstances I haven't seen but every time someone makes it hard for me to help them I get frustrated! I've been helping this venue book promoters for club nights and sometimes I do events there. It just makes me wonder if I'm trying to make you money, why make it hard for me?
