Hi,
I don't know if this is up your alley or not, but I'm trying to help 
promote this event, and recently surfed across your site. I'm attaching 
both the band submission information as well as advertising info. I was at 
this event last year and it was a lot of fun, if you have any questions 
regarding what it's all about, check the website: 
www.midwestmusicsummit.com or drop me some e-mail.

thanks,
Jesse
