Well my situation is rather unique. I have a good friend who was a very prominent rave promoter in the mid 2000s in Baltimore. The first rave I went to was one of his back in 2009. He wrote a memoir about his time as a promoter and I was one of his test readers.
After reading it I was convinced that he should get back into the game and I wanted to help him. We decided the first party should be a release party for his book.
I have a really dope job and I was able to fund it all out of my own pocket. I also found the venue after asking on r/Baltimore for suggestions.
He has a huge social media following and is a legend in the scene so he was able to gather a bunch of really great local DJs to do the show for free. He was also instrumental in promoting online by using his platform and getting the DJs to also promote.
We designed a flyer and printed it out and handed them out at other shows in the weeks leading up to the party.
On the day of the party we went to venue and helped the owners get it set up for the party and building the stage. We then had the sound techs we hired set up the sound systems.
This process took about 3 months start to finish and cost around 3k.
Here is his book.
